Ireland, among flowers and bombs get the queen

For weeks, in Ireland the facades of the buildings are repainted, the beds filled with flowers, resurfaced roads, imposing giant screens placed high on the main streets. Members of the National Guard with suits, diver descend into the sewers to see if someone has placed bombs or has left evidence of doing so.

In designated places, staff are searched and inspected every corner, polished, secured. In neighborhoods, the streets, the restaurants offer a "menu real" discounts and days you work to achieve the street party in which to celebrate: for many Irish this week there will be a day off in more.
