I saw it at the time and was remembering it yesterday. Thank you so much for posting it here. It was a delight to see it again. What a good sense of fun and humor she had. Considering she had to play her part to an empty chair, as the Paddington Bear character was added later, she proved herself a remarkably good actress, too.
The Paddington Bear Tweet was most touching. One to bring a tear to the eye.
Again, many thanks.

The “tire pressure gauge” is in Prince Charles’ sock. Prince Philip is seated to the queen’s right.
To: CatHerd
You’re welcome....I thought it was exactly something the Queen would do.

Interesting. Can I use the code to figure out my lottery numbers for this weekend?Lol! If only...
Seriously, there are people who use Gematria to... well, gamble. Especially in sports. Most sporting events are coded. It’s very interesting.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and memories. Hard to believe it’s been 25 years since Diana was killed. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had the TV on in the early hours of the morning, and heard it on a Fox news broadcast. And yesterday’s announcement was a shock as well. Even though the Queen was 96, I kept rooting for her to last a bit longer. With her passing, another page in history has turned, and probably not for the better.

You’re very welcome. I have to admit I got tears in my eyes when I watched it again.

it was within her purview to encourage the practice charity, promote the arts and sciences, to encourage the development of industry and commerce, and to show special care for and encourage respect for those serving the country in the military. All these things she did. As a princess, Elizabeth stayed in London during WW2, signed up with the British Army and qualified as an auto mechanic.

As I was watching yesterday and it was raining there, I thought,
even the skies wept, and a rainbow seemed to be a message saying
“Carry On”.

These things take place all the time in weather days.... but it is when an event or happening occurs we see them as a comfort and assurance because hearts are looking for this. God is good.
