Last Updated: Monday, June 28, 2010 / 3:12 PM AT : CBC News : The Queen got a rainy welcome Monday afternoon as she arrived in Halifax, the first stop on her nine-day Canadian tour.
The Queen came prepared for a wet and windy arrival.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip arrived at the airport aboard a military plane at 2:20 p.m. AT. They carried their own umbrellas as they stepped onto the wet tarmac.
The royals were greeted briefly by Defence Minister Peter MacKay and Nova Scotia Deputy Premier Frank Corbett before heading to the Garrison Grounds for an official welcome.
Like hundreds of other royal watchers waiting near the Halifax Citadel, Beth Wilson said the wait will be worth it.
"This is an event," Wilson said. "How often do we get to see the Queen?"
The welcoming ceremony will include Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Gov.-Gen. Michaëlle Jean, and senior military officials. The Queen will make a speech and meet some of the Nova Scotians who have lined the fences.
The royal couple will take part in a Mi'kmaq cultural event and celebrate the Canadian navy's 100th anniversary before leaving on Wednesday.
The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.
