During her speech to The Event , The Queen told her fellow members: "Of course, every generation faces fresh challenges and opportunities.
"As we look for new answers in the modern age, I for One prefer the tried and tested recipes, like speaking well of each other and respecting different points of view; coming together to seek out the Common Ground ; and never losing sight of the bigger picture. "
Ms Browne said it had been "a really lovely afternoon".
"The Queen very graciously said a few words about the fact it was our centenary and she hoped That the fun and friendship would continue into the next century," She Said .
