Me too.. can't remember how old I was ..somewhere between 12 and 14 I think ( so late 60's).. when she came to visit our city,and specifically the area where we lived.. WE all lined up along the pavements to watch the Cavalcade go by, and it must have been summer because the top was down on a Huge Burgundy Colour Limo.. I'd never seen such a huge car in my life.. . She was wearing lemon.. and had her signature white gloves on as she waved as the car drove slowly past. I was on the edge of the Kerb.. and was so close I could have touched that big shiny car...I will never forget seeing her bright smile as she waved at our small crowd of young women running out to the street where her car was passing by. City Hall notified our office of the route her car was taking. It was a
special day that I will always remember.
May your soul Rest In Eternal Peace, dear Queen Elizabeth.
I'm so sorry that you lost your Queen! May she rest in peace. At the same time, these photos are priceless! Thanks for sharing, @hollydolly!
The whole family own dogs, they're a very animal loving family ... so I'm sure someone will take good care of them. Maybe Princess Anne will have them given that she lives on a farm.. how sweet of you to think of the dogs welfare..Had a feeling when it was mentioned she usually greets new PMs in London. Didn't seem like her to break with custom lightly.
I particularly admired her WWII service. She took her role seriously, but also seemed like she didn't take any guff from anyone, and not just because she was Queen and didn't have to.
Hope it is ok to mention that I hope whoever cares for her dogs knows to watch them for signs of grief. They meant so much to her, and i know for a fact dogs can feel the loss of their people.
