Pic of the week 11/9/22
On Thursday, the Queen died.
It all happened quite swiftly. During the day, news kept breaking that various royals were travelling to Balmoral, so it was pretty evident that we were in her final days, but then, at circa 6.30 pm, her passing was officially announced.
I was a little surprised at how sombre I felt. I suppose it was because it was a moment in history, a constant has gone. And, as with any high profile death, it makes you think of those close to you that you have lost.
We are in a slightly strange state of affairs, but I get the sense that most of the country want to remain respectful, but now get on with our lives. The muted TV and radio broadcasts are beginning to bore a little. She was a good women, and history will look back kindly upon her life and reign, but life goes on.
On Friday, Sophie collected the keys to her new flat. She hasn’t moved in yet, that will happen on Tuesday, but it is a significant moment in her life.
