I’ve written before of 70 years ago celebrating the Queen’s coronation in the village where I was born and where this weekend the latest addition to my family will be christened in the beautiful tiny church that has witnessed so many of our family events both joyous and heart breaking.
The United Kingdom and the Commonwealth are now in a period of mourning following the death this week of our wonderful Queen There is great sadness even amongst those who had no great love of the monarchy. I am a royalist and proud of (most of) the House of Windsor.
We have lost a constant presence in our lives, the world has lost one of its greatest of leaders, Elizabeth II our head of state who at 96 years of age was still working until 2 days before her death. She carried out her duty with quiet dedication, dignity and grace, we are fortunate to have lived our lives with her to reign over us. I really hope our two new leaders one elected one a successor will follow her impeccable example.
Agree wholeheartedly with all you have to say - wonderful lady.
