Queen Elizabeth II met old friends and acquaintances during a reception at San Anton Palace this evening hosted by President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.

The Queen and Prince Philip used to live in Malta between 1949-1951 and have happy memories of the island.

Picture above shows the Queen and the President chatting with Freddie Mizzi, who played in a band at the Phoenicia Hotel when The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh used to dance there.
