“We think of her deep wisdom, and historic understanding. and her seemingly inexhaustible but understated sense of duty.

“Relentless though her diary must have felt. she never once let it show, and to tens of thousands of events – great and small.  she brought her smile and her warmth and her gentle humor – and for an unrivalled 70 years she spread that magic around her kingdom.

“This is our country’s saddest day because she had a unique and simple power to make us happy. That is why we loved her.

“That is why we grieve for Elizabeth the Great, the longest serving and in many ways. The finest monarch in our history.”
