Queen Elizabeth's death today triggered some very pleasant childhood memories and hours upon hours of imaginary play my brother and I had.
To me she was always be Liz!

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Lost in Space. Sunday Evening Wonderful World of Disney Movie. Best family TV time ever.
My favorite school lunchbox years too. I loved those themed tin lunch boxes.

Did you ever get to see or meet the Queen in person?

At the ‘76 Olympics my Dad and I got some scalped tickets to the velodrome. The Queen showed up and watched the British team ride the pursuit event. Everyone knew she was there but acted as if she was just another attendee.

I remember that show! We just saw an old Twilight Zone episode with Richard Basehart, and that caused me to recall ‘Voyage’.
“Bloop, Bloop” - first time I ever had an idea of what a submarine might be like...

It's a shame that you can't deliver this piece as her eulogy at her state funeral.
