Time we celebrated a remarkable lady
HER Majesty The Queen will become the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, 70 years of service, god willing in 2022.
She acceded to the throne on February 6, 1952 when
Her Majesty was 25 years old.
I class myself an Elizabethan. She has a connection to our area by the Duchy of Lancaster owning farms, houses and land. She is the only woman to drive without a licence or number plate.
She can handle a
Landrover and is a trained mechanic due to her war service. She is not a spend thrift and, in fact, got her bankers Coutts to install a cash machine in the basement for her family’s use!
She has had more than 18 prime ministers and 15 US Presidents. She has got a
Gold Disc awarded from the sale of Party at the Palace CD as it sold out within days of release.
She is the only Royal able to change a spark plug in a car or fit a new tyre; ok she’s a elderly lady now so may not do it today. She is fluent in German and French. To me she is a fine Queen and we should celebrate her reign.
Yes some royals need to go. I for one fear for the monarchy’s future with the ascension of Prince Charles as he will not be a patch on the greatest monarch who reigns over us and who has been a pillar of strength and to me defines what being British is all about.
Be for or against the idea of monarchy, 2022 is a time to unite to celebrate this remarkable lady who shows women’s empowerment and took on the men and brought stability to our nation.
She has risen above active involvement in politics. As an expression of one’s patriotism and hope for the continued reign and life of our monarch, God Save the Queen.
At least the Conservative Party and Prime Minister can justify having this party eh?
