ONE of the Royal family's biggest fans is already dusting down her union flags after the news the Queen is to visit Bexley.
Ennis Smith, from Crayford, said: "I met the Queen briefly at a Buckingham Palace garden party but it was just a quick nod and a curtsey."
Now she is hoping for a second chance to meet her this summer.
Buckingham Palace announced this week the Queen will visit the borough on July 26, when she will meet people from Bexley's many different communities and representatives of organisations which contribute to the life of the borough.
This will be the Queen's third visit to the borough.
In 1953 she met people affected by the devastating floods in the north of the borough and in 1980 she came to see the new town of Thamesmead.
