THE QUEEN

 Good morning everyone.

What a truly sad day yesterday turned out to be.  Had anyone told me that I would be sitting in floods of tears in the early evening mourning the passing of our glorious Queen - well you just wouldn't think it would you?

I have only ever known our Queen as our Monarch and what a truly remarkable lady she was.  She performed her duties like the true servant she said she would be all those years ago following the death of her beloved father.

I heard many tributes yesterday but I've got to be honest and say the one that I found most moving was that from Boris Johnson who said "it is only when we face the reality of our loss that we truly understand what has gone.  It is only really now that we grasp how much she meant for us, how much she did for us, how much she loved us.  We had come to believe, like children, that she would just go on and on"  If you haven't read his statement, I think you should.  He may not be everyone's cup of tea and yes he has made some awful mistakes but he is human like the rest of us and his words were spoken from the heart - in my humble opinion.

A sad day indeed - the passing of a Monarch, of a Mother, a Grandmother, a Great Grandmother and a truly remarkable woman - the like of whom I don't ever think we will see again.

Rest in Peace Your Majesty - your Service is done now.

💗💗💗💗

If like us, you were deeply affected by the news of the Queen's passing you will, I hope, understand that Lisa has decided to cancel tonight's live as a mark of respect not only for the Queen but for her whole family.  

Whether you are a Royalist or not we feel that this is the right decision and we hope you understand.
