Belize and the Bahamas HM The Queen is in the Caribbean - on a journey that is to take her to those famous West Indian 'Islands in the Sun'. But before that - Belize on the mainland of Central America and the Bahamas where, as Head of the Commonwealth, she is hosting the Commonwealth Conference. The Queen remains Head of State of the former British colony of Belize and she's been visiting the 1,600 British troops who are still posted there. But for most of the week she has been in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, for the Commonwealth summit.
Although The Queen doesn't actually take part in the formal political talks she is on hand to advise, entertain - and maybe iron out a problem or two. Reporters
