LONDON (AP) -- Queen Elizabeth II has visited Olympic Park to inspect preparations for the 2012 London Games.
The queen toured the site in east London on Tuesday for the second time since the British capital was awarded the Olympics in 2005.
Elizabeth viewed the main Olympic Stadium and walked along a section of the 100-meter track area. The queen also planted the first tree on the park site and met with workers.
Elizabeth is expected to open the Olympics in 2012 when she will be celebrating her 60th year as queen.
