Ashes 2013: Queen Delays Play At Lord's To Greet England And Australia (PICTURES)

Play Has Been Delayed... By The Queen

The second Ashes Test at Lord's was delayed by 15 minutes as the Queen greeted both the England and Australia squads.

The Home of Cricket is owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) - the guardians of the laws and spirit of the game.

Lord's will celebrate its bicentenary next year after being established by cricketer and businessman Thomas Lord in 1814.
