...Mongol warriors have bombs in their quivers. But if they attack the alarm bells will ring. And there will be plenty of fighters to defeat them...
...Elizabeth was "slightly stunned" by the lavishness of the gifts bestowed on her by welcoming sheiks and princes. In Dubai, for example, the Queen gave "a little gasp" when she opened her present from Sheik Rashid: a necklace studded with sapphires surrounded by 300 diamonds, with matching earrings and ring.
