At such a momentous time, with the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, I felt I needed to mark the occasion.
The Queen has served faithfully and well for over seventy years.Black and white photos from here

Now we have a change, and I have just watched the proclamation of a new King, something that has not been televised or seen outside the Privy Council before now, a moment of history. King Charles III has taken on his duty as monarch, and has acted with dignity and composure, even while he is still mourning the loss of his mother.
I am not a Royalist but I do feel for the family being forced at this most private time to grieve in the public eye. It must make an already hard time even harder.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EC. They must be finding it very difficult, despite the sympathy being expressed everywhere.
