Long to rain over us?
Clouds look just like Her Majesty in hat
HER mischievous grin and colourful hats lit up her reign for 70 years. And now, it seems, they are continuing to brighten our skies – in the form of some extraordinarily shaped clouds.
As news of Her Majesty’s death broke on Thursday, huge rainclouds appeared in formations that well-wishers remarked ‘looked like the Queen’.
Photos of the phenomena – which resembled the Queen in her favourite style of hat, below – quickly went viral on social media.
Leanne Bethell stopped to take a picture of the skies in Telford, Shropshire, after her daughter, Lacey, spotted the similarities.
She said: ‘We were driving home not long after the announcement and my 11-year-old daughter was screaming and shouting. She then pointed at the sky and said, “Mum, it’s The Queen”. So I had to pull over and take some pictures.’
A ten-year-old schoolgirl in Great Wyrley, Staffordshire, also shared a picture of a cloud that looked like the Queen ‘in a big hat’ moments after the monarch’s death was announced. Other photos of the clouds rimmed with gold were shared as the sun set that evening.
