The whole day was overshadowed by the death of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. It was lunchtime when it was announced that she was gravely ill and the family were travelling to be with her... Such a sad day. We will never see her like again.
I had never met her, never seen her, apart from on the TV. But I've never known another monach. And despite that it feels like the passing of an era not just another person.
She had dignity and grace and a fierce sense of duty, that I think the other Royals lack. I might be wrong but I don't think Charles will be up to the job, and I still wish it had gone to William instead.
Strange days...
It is the end of an era.
ReplyDeleteShe was the nations Mother/Grandmother the one constant we have all grown up with.
Charles will be different, but it is something her has trained for all his life.
While I mourn the Queen I can only say Long Live The King.
