LONDON, May 17 (Reuters) - Britain's Queen Elizabeth will go ahead with a visit to Ireland despite a bomb being found on a bus near Dublin, the British Foreign Office said on Tuesday.

"The state visit is still going ahead," a Foreign Office spokesman said. Ireland's military said earlier that a homemade bomb had been found in the luggage compartment of a bus and blown up by the army in a controlled detonation. (Reporting by Adrian Croft; Editing by Peter Graff)
