Isn’t there a story about Queen Victoria not liking the blue light, because it wasn’t in line with all the other lights when she was going to the Royal Opera House?

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
I will give that to you it was Queen Victoria going to the Royal Opera House opposite. It is said that it reminded her of the Blue room at Buck House where Prince Albert died. Some doubt this reason.

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
OK I'll give it to Wodders as I suspect that the answer is debatable.
According to giggle the first female astronaut was this lady; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Ride but she was the third woman into space after two Ruski cosmonauts.
