London- Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip flew to Bermuda Tuesday to join in three days of celebrations marking the 400th anniversary of the island's settlement by the British, Buckingham Palace said. The royal couple would attend cultural events and a church service before travelling on to Trinidad and Tobago for the biennial conference of Commonwealth leaders later this week.
The queen, 83, will officially open the informal meeting of Commonwealth heads of states to discuss global political and economic issues.
Her visit to Bermuda comes 56 years to the day since she first travelled to the island on November 24, 1953 - just five months after her coronation.
