RIP Queen Elisabeth. You kept your promise and served your people well. The last of the WWII era rulers. She was a mechanic in the Army motor pool during the war and rode a motorcycle as a courier. I remember watching her coronation in 1953. As a Canadian my mother was very excited for her. I am very sad to see her go, for sure the end of an era.

My sentiments exactly. I also liked Prince Phillip, he had a great dry sense of humor.
As I read this and write this, there is a documentary about the Queen on my TV. Quite a lady. She and Prince Phillip had an amazing lifelong love for each other. When asked how their relationship endured, the Queen said, "he makes me laugh". A class act that we won't see again. RIP Queen Elizabeth..... Jim

I also remember the coranation. I was eight years old. My grandfather, from England, watched everything about it on television. All three channels in the Minneapolis area carried the coronation.

Mike,
I was going to comment yesterday afternoon, but too busy with all the melodrama going on in the U.S. of A. I have to quit reading so much news. It's just a bonanza of B.S. here in the States.

……..and here is the perfect example of how Phillip made Elizabeth laugh. Walking past her royal guards one morning, one looked slightly familiar, so she slowed for a better look. Yes, Phillip had arisen very early and donned a guardsman uniform, complete with bearskin hat, and was standing with the other guards as the Queen passed ( he was in his nineties then). As you can see, she was greatly “amused”. He was quite the character. 9C0637D3-7EB2-4C26-961C-EA4F81811AE4.jpg

I guess it depends on your news source. The Queen is on all my listening and reading sources (I don't watch 'news').
Anyway, back to our regular program right after this important information from our sponsors...
