OUR LATE QUEEN

 OUR LATE QUEEN

By Barbara Thomas

 Our beloved Queen Elizabeth would have been 100 years old on the 21st April 2026. When the Lord made her, he made an Angel in disguise. As many people know she was not born to be a Queen, but my God she stood up to the challenge. We should always remember her Consort, Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh. During her reign she stood steadfast and true, to the end of her day’s. So thank you Ma’am.

 We remember with a smile the day the Queen and Daniel Craig acted out a Bond scene, the Queen as “M” and Daniel as “007”. Everybody watched as they both walked along the corridors of the Palace, even ended up with being parachuted over London. Fiction: Another memory, and looking back, the last time we would be seeing her great humour. No one can forget the Queen’s playful scene with Paddington Bear where the Bear offered her majesty tea and a marmalade sandwich, the response was with a twinkle in her Majesty’s eye.

 “No thank you I had a sandwich in my bag”. What a moment never to be forgotten. We will miss her charming smile, and wonderful clothes but most of all, the woman behind the Crown.
