British Queen Elizabeth II stands in silence inside the Neue Wache anti-war memorial in front of a sculpture Mother with dead son by German artist Kaethe Kollwitz in Berlin November 2, 2004. Queen Elizabeth flew into Berlin on Tuesday for a state visit intended to focus on present-day ties with Germany but which has stirred up old controversies over World War Two. However worries over whether the Queen should apologise for devastating British air raids on German cities did little to deter crowds of well-wishers who waited to see the 78-year-old monarch, wearing a mint-green ensemble and black gloves, on her fourth state visit to Germany.
