Paying last respects

I WAS born on the day Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip married, so her long reign was always part of my life. I regret that due to the long queue and my need for medication, I am not able to pay my last respects at the Lying in State.

I am proud that members of my family are police officers on duty for long shifts in London throughout the mourning period.
