First- First article- Lovely! The Queen looks divine!
Second article- First picture- priceless! Love the Duke's tie!
Second- Didn't Helen Mirren star in the play? And Robert Hardy before he fell? So now the monarch is going, and 2 of my favorite actors won't be there? Figures.:argh: :rolleyes:
Third- Nice pictures, but really dislike HM outfit!

I never been a fan of HM's large and shapeless overcoats. It's cold so she have to wrap up though.

I find it touching that the Queen stays at Sandringham until the anniversary of her father's death passes. To me, it means she still holds him very near and dear to her heart and her memories with her family stay strong. If anything, I regret that she was in Africa at the time of his passing and wasn't with him when he died. Sometimes those "last words" mean so very much.

He died in his sleep so no last words.
 
Thought I would add another comment on because when the previous comment showed up on the app I nearly freaked out!!

I know and to me, its kind of sad that none of the family were with him when he passed on. Perhaps some take comfort in the fact that he quietly slipped away but on the other hand, many feel that being there and being able to express love and solidarity as a family bring comfort. But enough of the morbidity.

It puts into perspective too for all of us that when the time comes and Charles ascends the throne, he will also be dealing with the grief of losing his mother.
 
It's so sad. The Queen probably remembers the last words she exchanged with her father, before she went to Kenya, as if it was yesterday.

I also think about the Duke of Edinburgh, having to break the terrible news to the new Queen.
 
She has not always stayed at Sandringham until after the anniversary of her father's death.
 
It's been 63 years since she became Queen. I greatly admire her dedication and hard work she made as Queen. I can't wait until she becomes Britain's longest reigning monarch. :britflag:
 
This was originally Posted by scooter in 2009/2013, and I couldn't agree more.

The Queen has been a sterling example to her people; of morality, service, duty before personal happiness, dedication and faultlessly upright behavior, as a Monarch should be. The longer she reigns the better, in my opinion. Long live Queen Elizabeth!

And long may she continue to reign. The United Kingdom and the Commonwealth will not see any like her again. Nor for that matter, any other monarchy.
