I had never thought about being here now 1956 in London. By accident I know now that our majesty, the Queen of the United Kingdom has her 30th birthday. I was never interested in the royal clobber or any royalty.

Now I am here, pottering around to wait for the parade to begin. A friend of mine loves the royal British clobber more than me. She always says 'Brighid, Brighid watch, the royal wedding!' 'Brighid, there she is in the newspaper!' She could weep just because of that? No way, not with me!

So she persuades me to come with her. In a crowd of people. Surrounded of busts and stomachs. Nothing for me. Ok, I enjoy it, it's beautiful here and you could be proud to be British.

A bang behind me, I turn around and see no one, I turn around again.

Dead!

The Queen lies in the arms of her spouse. Suddenly the people circle around me and guards run towards me. My heart stops beating for a second. I have never been in such a situation before. The guards grab me. I am innocent! It wasn't me. They tell me that they bring me to Belgium to the court. Why to Belgium? Why not here? What has happened in the last five minutes? The guards take me in a car and shout that I have finished my job and now they do theirs.

After a while there is just one guard left who brings me to the train station. Then everything changes. He is proud of what I have done. He had never the courage to kill her, he just wanted to. His name is Marc and he helps me to flee.

So we are now in the train to, instead of Belgium, to Caen in France. I am incredibly nervous. What will happen next?

He introduces me to his family he had to leave because of the war. I am impressed of his determination. I am able to understand a bit of French.

He has promised his family to come back if he kills the Queen of the United Kingdom, the reason why he has been gone away for a long time. I begin to understand why he escaped with me. He promised it. He is too determinate to let another person kill the Queen.

'Marc, I will go to London, with you! I am innocent and you know that. And you know who is guilty!'
