Was there any need to name T2 after the Queen?

Perhaps they felt that she didn't have quite enough things named after her already, especially in London (hell, they even named the Olympic Park after her even though she looked miserable as sin at her night out to the opening ceremony).

Or maybe it was the only way Heathrow Airport LTD were able to get the Palace to let her out to open the new terminal next year?

Anyway, a total waste of time, effort and money. Nothing wrong with plain old "Terminal 2" which is what 99.9% of people will refer to it as anyway. In fact if anyone does refer to it as "Queen's Terminal" I am in half a mind to deliberately pretend I have no idea what they are on about. I may even direct them to the Royal Suite!

On the subject of Staines...One friend of mine just asked on facebook where exactly Staines-Upon-Thames was...she has known it was Staines her whole life and was asked to go to SUT for something but wasn't sure if it was the same place.
