Never been a royalist but have the utmost respect for Her Maj and her unfailing dedication to duty, listening to the lovely anecdotes over the last 24hrs has her down to be sharp as a tack, always dignified and caring. She's had to endure a lot in the very recent past with what has happened in her family which will I am sure have weighed heavily.
It has hit me today much harder than I thought it would, it puts all of us in a reflective mood and reminds me of when my nan passed at the ripe old age of 91 a few years ago, she was the head of the family & never put a foot wrong...
RIP QEII
