For most of us Queen Elizabeth II was the only monarch we have ever known she was our constant and I think most of us thought she was invincible. On Thursday 8th September we came to the realisation that sadly she was no super human after all. For Charles now our King it has been the day he has been dreading not only because it meant taking on that top job but also meant that intaking on this new role it would mean the loss of his beloved mama.
The images across our screens of our Queens last journey I think will stay with us for ever and I do wonder what the Queen herself would think of it all.
The images of her children especially Princess Anne who is every inch her mothers daughter looking so bereft at Holyrood. For most of us when we loose a loved one we can greave in private but for our royal family every inch of their lives is under the glare of the public eye but they have shown such stoicism and dignity throughout the period of national morning.
Like the majority of the nation we sat and watched the Queens funeral from 9am on Monday 19th September only moving to make a cup of tea or provisions for lunch when the opportunity arose. The sound of the loan piper will stay with me for the rest of my lifetime.
The flowers reportedly selected by the King from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove containing rosemary for remembrance and myrtle a symbol of love picked from a bush that was originally a sprig from the late Queens wedding bouquet and a very fitting tribute from the family.
Rest well your majesty and thank you for all that you have done.
