Greetings Face.
It was a most impressive event , was it not.
We also watched on YouTube later with a few beers to ease things .
On the day your moose was waiting at Windsor near the castle to say Tally-ho! The queues in London were just to long and the crowds to large for my inner monkey to cope with, during the week. So Westminster hall was out of the question.
Kind of strange, only met her 4 times but discovered that she was more than just a picture on the banknotes and coins.
For Charles and the rest of the gang she was and still is mummy....regardless of any differences.
It is the length of her reign that made this most difficult, medieval kings came and went on a conveyor belt. They were mostly unpleasant creatures so the passing was just an excuse for a party. With queens all bar Mary and Matilda who wasn’t crowned, there is always an attachment with the people.
Enough of my noise, hope you are keeping well. Will attempt to pop in later.

Yes, you’re right. When push comes to shove, she was still “Mummy” and “Granny.” And that’s all that really matters.
The face of King Charles when the bier was lowered will stay with me for a long time. All four of her children looked in shock, which I’m sure had not quite begun to wear off.
It was a lovely tribute to a great monarch.
I’m very happy you got to send her off in your own way. But as I tell so many people, there are no rules for grief. Just do it your own way for as long as you feel like it.
