    RIP ER II - my codolences to her subjects

    She was a great lady and I'll miss her.

    I was twelve when she was crowned and we had to go to a neighbor's house to watch the coronation because we didn't have a TV. It impressed me greatly and since then I've studied the monarchy in detail and delight in its contortions, both good and bad.

    During the war, the lady wrenched on army trucks so, like us, she probably knew her way around a tool box.

    Agreed, Marv. Historical photos and articles on the Queen, while must be some degree of staged event, really never appeared as such. Despite endless trappings of monarchy, she seemed so 'regular', especially among contemporary dignitaries.
