QEII Meets Three Members of the Yardbirds

Great story in the London Independent about Queen Elizabeth II meeting a number of legendary British guitarists, namely the "big three": Clapton, Page, and Beck (as in Jeff), as well as Brian May. Seems QEII wasn't particularly up on her rock history, and didn't know much about any of them. The following exchange occurred between Eric Clapton and the Queen:

QEII: Have you been playing long?
Clapton: About 45 years.

Read all about it here. It was a whimsical little encounter.

For the record, I think Beck kicks both Page's and Clapton's asses.
