The Queen transformed into Google doodle

LONDON - Visitors to Google will notice a familiar profile when making a search today, as an image of the Queen has been incorporated into the homepage logo to mark her visit to the search giant's UK headquarters.

The "Google doodle", the main logo on the Google site, changes frequently to mark special events and holidays and today it marks a visit by the Queen to Google's offices in Westminster.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will meet the staff and competition winners from the recent Google doodle design contest.

The Queen launched the official royal website in 1997 and at Christmas two years ago she made her annual Christmas message available via podcast.

Last year she launched a dedicated royal channel on YouTube, which now contains over 50 videos, and has been viewed by over 1.6m users.
