All her previous visits to Tests at headquarters, as sovereign, had been on the fourth day

MCC, exasperated after the Queen had missed play in all three Lord's Tests she was scheduled to attend since the previous Ashes, arranged for her to visit on the first day [22 June 1961]. All her previous visits to Tests at headquarters, as sovereign, had been on the fourth day: the Monday after the rest day. She returned to this pattern the following year.
