The Queen Of England Sends Her First Tweet Today

"It is a pleasure to open the Information Age exhibition today at the @ScienceMuseum and I hope people will enjoy visiting. Elizabeth R."



That was the Queen's first tweet - sent through the @BritishMonarchy account - heralding the launch of a major new exhibition at London's
Science Museum.



It has been three years in the planning, and is one of the most ambitious projects the museum has ever undertaken.



The Information Age gallery, opened by the Queen this morning, takes visitors on a journey through the history of modern communications from the telegraph to the smartphone.




The Queen's Twitter debut comes a few months after her grandson who sent a message on the social network in May to celebrate the forthcoming Invictus Games.
