Thanks for posting that Vita, it was good to remember those events.

Everyone who knew her, and many who met her, remark on her good sense of humour.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

King Charles, whilst signing his declaration today, found the small table with big documents a bit irritating, and it showed.
It was a funny moment in a very historical event....poor William was left without a pen when he came forwards to sign.

Her Majesty was said to be quite mischievous, Syl.

Did you hear the story about the time she came across two American tourists while out walking in Balmoral with her protection officer?

One asked her 'Have you ever met the Queen and she replied no but he has' the tourist said 'Oh would you take our photo with him then and handed the Queen his camera'

Her Majesty's Coffin will leave Balmoral today at 10:00 am and pass through towns and villages in Royal Desside before heading into Aberdeen and then south into Edinburgh.

Despite appearing together, it was obvious that it was done through clenched teeth.

The Prince and Princess of Wales kept their distance most of the time and the two couples only stood together at the start and end of the walkabout.

Apparently some folk didn't offer Meghan or Harry their hand to shake but did with Kate and William.

Does anyone else always get the same image in your mind when you see a row of people dressed in black walking. Of reservoir dogs?

We all know who Mr Pink is

It is being suggested the walkabout was a pre-emptive move by William to stop Harry and Meghan going on a walk about on their own with the Netflix camera crew.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Meghan has lost weight, her legs are incredibly thin.

President Biden might have to take a bus to Her Majesty's funeral next Monday.

London will see the biggest and tightest security operation ever and Helicopters and Limos have been banned.

I’ve always been fascinated by the languages, words and, especially, the accents of people the whole world over.

Hearing King Charles speak just now supports what I’ve always thought. The English language truly is the best and most wonderful spoken language in the world. It can be like velvet to the ears!

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

I found the sight of Princess Anne curtseying as the coffin bearing the Queen passed really moving.

She has lost her mother, and all the pomp and ceremony in the world won't ease her pain.

Every daughter who has lost a beloved mother will feel her pain.

My mum did too Syl.

I know you've lost your mum and my mum's mum passed away fifteen years ago and she still misses her.

That's a shitty looking crown.

A few cheap pearls dotted around it. Not a jewel encrusted crown full of precious stones like diamonds that you see on the English crown.

That thing is actually an insult to place on her coffin
