I hadn’t planned to write a blog today, as I knew I was going to be busy. However, on the day the Queen has died I thought I’d like to say that I couldn’t help but admire her.
A woman who pledged her life to the service of her people and kept her word. Never wavering in her duty, she steered a steady ship despite several periods of choppy waters.
And her sense of humour, which she allowed to emerge in recent years, was fantastic. From the Olympics escapade ‘parachuting’ from a helicopter with James Bond, and then moving onto another Bond – sharing tea (and her secret hiding place for her marmalade sandwich) with Michael Bond’s creation, Paddington Bear. As Paddington said: ‘Thank you, Ma’am, for everything.’
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
Take care everyone. God bless.
Queen Elizabeth II was indeed a remarkable woman, steadfast in her faith and unfailing in her sense of duty and service. We have been blessed to have lived under her reign xxx
