A great, great loss

I couldn't continue the blog without mentioning the momentous event of this last week, namely, the death of our beloved Queen, Elizabeth II. I think we all knew she was quite frail and it can be no surprise that an old lady of 96 dies but it was still such a great shock to get the news on Thursday evening that she had passed away. Like many, she is the only monarch I have ever know on the throne and it is such a sad time now she has relinquished her post. The TV coverage has been very good, yet at the same time very upsetting. It's strange but losing The Queen, has invoked the same deep emotions in me, as if I'd just lost my own granny (both long since departed) or other close family member, so my thoughts go out to all members of the Royal Family at this very difficult time.

Fairwell fair lady. Rest in Peace.

Queen Elizabeth II, 1926 - 2022

With the Queen's death, we usher in a new era, as her son and heir Charles, becomes King, King Charles III. May he carry on the great works of his mother and enjoy the same support and love that was afforded her.

Long Live The King!
