The Queen was delayed during her royal visit because police outriders couldn't find their way from the train station to thehub: mk.
Yesterday police confirmed that police motorbike riders took a wrong turn, causing her to be delayed by several minutes.
Her Majesty arrived at the train station at 11.10am on November 29.
Her motorcycle outriders, there to protect her on her journey with the Duke of Edinburgh, managed to get lost while guiding her around the city.
The outriders were supposed to lead her past the Hockey Stadium along Grafton Gate, past the Church of Christ the Cornerstone and right into Midsummer Boulevard to thehub:mk and Ramada Encore Hotel.
The journey was just over two kilometres.
But after taking the wrong turning the Royal party had to turn around.
On arriving at her destination, in a maroon Bentley, she was accompanied by two outriders.
A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said yesterday: "Outriders, supporting The Queen's vehicle, did take a wrong turning.
"This resulted in Her Majesty being delayed for a few minutes.
"At no time was her security compromised." She arrived at stadiummk 23 minutes later than expected at 12.04pm.
Last week the man in charge of the police operation to protect The Queen said he was delighted with the way the day went.
Superintendent Gez Chiarello said: "Our aim was to protect The Queen and reassure the public while also keeping a fairly low profile to allow people to enjoy the day as it was a lovely occasion for Milton Keynes. There was an awful lot of preparation as it involved so many different resources from so many departments."
