The lights went out at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel just as the queen's husband, Prince Philip, began giving out the Duke of Edinburgh awards, but the generator kicked in a few minutes later. A royal dinner for 380 guests was going ahead as planned, the hotel's spokeswoman was quoted as saying. She added that the queen was comfortable.
