'How blessed are the pizza makers," says the Pope, head in hands after eating too many. Or maybe: "Do I want another pizza? Am I Catholic?"

Last week's picture featured da Papa's audience with the Queen, or was it the other way around.

John Foster, of the Isle of Man, suggests, Queen: "Is that your final answer?" Pope: "No, I'd like to phone a friend!" Mr J Taggart, of Middlesbrough, thinks: "When Charles woke up this morning and found a horse's head on his pillow he thought the Mafia had put a contract out on him - then he realised Camilla had slept in!" It will be off with your head when the royals read this.

Mr JL Clements, of Bishop Auckland, says: "More tea vicar?...oops." His wife Iris adds: "Urgh Lizzie, I thought there was supposed to be no garlic on your menus."

Mr D Simpson, of Darlington, thinks: "I say, wakey wakey, one doesn't fall asleep when one is talking to the Queen."

I Banon, of Spennymoor, says: "Do look Philip, he's nodded off." Walter Cameron, of Brandon, suggests: "Come on let's have a game of dominoes."

W Bohannon, of Bowburn, thinks: "Your palace or mine?" Mrs M Dixon, of Willington, says: "If you don't wake up it will be another 12 years before I visit you again."

Mabel Roberts, of Crook, thinks, Queen: "I'll tell you a joke John Paul." Pope: "Make it a clean one ma'am, we may be bugged."

Andrew Burt, of Edinburgh, says: "Would you like a game of Scrabble before I go?"

Peter Ross, of Middlesbrough, suggests: "I hadn't heard that one Liz."

F Clarke, of Thornaby, thinks: "You can still relate a humorous story your reverence."

M Robinson, of Crook, says: "Have you heard this one, it's a bit naughty."

Mr A Shepherd, of Darlington, suggests: "Sorry, but one told one garlic gave one wind."

Mrs L Jackson, of Durham, says: "No, your holiness, you are not at the pearly gates yet, it's only my jewellery you can see."

Mr B Merchant, of Shildon, thinks: "Come on, don't keep me in suspense, ...the winner is?"

Mr F McNaughton, of Shildon, suggests: "Philip has that effect on everyone."

Martin Birtle, of Billingham, thinks: "Stop calling me Father Ted."

Pat Cariss, of Killerby, says: "Is it something I said? Philip keeps nodding off too." Husband Don suggests: "Can you pull a few strings for me. My eldest wants to marry a divorcee and it's a bit awkward, one knows." Mr M Douthwaite, of Bishop Auckland, says: "Wish I'd never had that last drink in the Queens."

The most off the wall entry comes from Robert Sanderson, of South Church, who suggests: "The race to improve freshness and reduce the lead-time of meals on wheels gets under way." Not sure he was looking at the right picture there - maybe last week's? But the winner comes from J Holmes, of Shildon, and is also a tad obtuse, with the Queen saying: "...and when I count to five, you will awake and think you are a chicken." Odd, a little Far Side, but it made me laugh.

Lots of entries again this week. Do keep sending them in to The Caption Competition, The Northern Echo, Priestgate, Darlington, DL1 1NF or e-mail ilamminguk.
