RIP Queen Elisabeth II

[Flying10uk]

Sad day indeed.

The late Queen Elizabeth earned people's respect from all around the world, over her long reign and I am confident that our new King, King Charles 3rd, will also earn people's respect. Charles has spent all his life preparing to be King and I am sure that he will be a good king.

The late Queen was a hard working royal, right into old age, and visited many places all over the UK and all around the world. I remember seeing her a few feet away, some years ago, on one of her "walkabouts" on a royal visit. The thing that struck me was how short she was which I hadn't really noticed before until I saw her in person. The thing that I found amusing in the minutes that we were waiting for the Queen to come walking down the street was that a number of women in the crowd around me were frantically making adjustments to their make-up and hair, even checking in mirrors that all was correct, as if the Queen was going to notice.
