    The idea that everone present also ate their lemon slice sounds like something from the 16th century. It is also reported that Gagarin brushed the Queen's knee to ensure she was real. In response to being touched, "the Queen just smiled and carried on drinking her coffee," Gagarin told Lebedev. That doesn't sound like tea to me. As the first man in space, perhaps he felt entitled to do as he pleased, including telling tall stories. Commented Oct 25, 2019 at 12:42
