UK: QUEEN MOTHER VISITS DOVER
English/Nat
XFA
The Queen Mother has been flown into Dover by helicopter to receive a special gift, three weeks before her 100th birthday.
She arrived to receive birthday wishes and a scroll from the Confederation of Cinque Ports.
The helicopter touched down at The Duke of York's Military School where the school's band played Happy Birthday.
Few centenarians have the chance or perhaps the inclination to travel by helicopter, but for the Queen Mother this is not an unusual way of getting about.
With her birthday now exactly three weeks away, students from Dover's Royal Military school made sure the official welcome had a celebratory tone.
In the centre of town hundreds of people were waiting to see her.
The Queen Mother comes here each year in her role as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports -- an ancient confederation of local towns.
And this year all the mayors were there to greet her and present her with a scroll to mark not only her birthday but her long tenure as Lord Warden.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
She is held in such affection by the people of the Cinque Ports for all that she does.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop
But for some it is more than that it - it's the Queen Mother's strong character that's won their admiration.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I think she has been a right moo (?) but, I do, and good for her. Every mother should be head of the family.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I think she is well respected throughout the country and all over the world as well.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop
The Queen Mother will be staying here over the weekend before returning to London for more birthday celebrations.

Dover Grammar School For Boys : DGSB : Mavic Pro : 4K
Founded in 1905 as Dover County School, it was originally mixed-sex and occupied other premises at Ladywell and at what is now the Girls' Grammar at Frith Road, only later splitting into the Boys' and Girls' Grammars. It moved into the present 1930s building in 1931 (with influences from Dover Castle, which is visible from the school), only to be evacuated to Ebbw Vale during the Second World War. R J Unstead, a prolific author of history books for children, attended the school from 1926 to 1934.
The founder and first headmaster of the school was Fred Whitehouse whose personal efforts persuaded the authorities to provide the money for the new building despite the severe economic circumstances of the depression. The building mixes both gothic and classical influences. Whitehouse believed in the maxim often attributed to Winston Churchill that we shape our buildings and our buildings shape us.
The building was opened by the Duke of York, the future King George VI of the United Kingdom.
It is one of few state school in Britain to have a working organ, which is housed in the Great Hall. The organ goes to Hamburg every 25 years for expert care and maintenance.
During World War II, the school building was taken over and used by the Royal Navy as a station for WRNS.
A notable feature of the building is a large stained glass window showing St. George and bearing the names of past students of the school who died in World War Two. There are separate memorials to students and an English teacher Oliver Tunnell who died in World War One.
It became Grant Maintained in April 1994, after warding off a series of reorganisation proposals from Kent County Council, then a Foundation School in September 1999, and in 2006 a Business and Enterprise College, which it is now. It celebrated its centenary in 2004, under headteacher Mrs Sally Lees.
The building was modified in 2000-2001 to include a second tower that differed from the design of the original tower (known as the Old Tower to pupils) to provide extra access to more IT rooms built over the school workshops.
The school became a Business and Enterprise School in 2006. As a result of the specialism the school received more funding from the government, part of which was invested into a new Business & Enterprise suite. The science labs were also refurbished in the recent years.
In 2009 there were proposals to move the school to Whitfield to be housed in a new building under the Labour government's Building Schools for the Future programme but this was cancelled after the 2010 General Election by Education Secretary Michael Gove. The cancellation of the move was a relief to some friends of the school.
