Meath's Joe Sheridan
Joe Sheridan will be on his best Royal County behaviour after being invited to meet the Queen at Croke Park on Wednesday.

Queen Elizabeth II is being welcomed to Croke Park tomorrow to tour the historic home of the GAA, with Croke Park personnel, GAA figures and a select number of players set to be present at the function.

The identity of all the players invited has yet to be released but a number of individuals invited have told of the honour, with Sheridan among them.

"I had a meeting with the GPA last week and I was fortunate to be asked by them to meet the Queen," explained Sheridan in the Meath News & Sport.

"I was honoured to be chosen and it's something that will go down in history so I was more than delighted to oblige.

"Things like this don't happen too often and to be a part of it will be something very special."
