Something inspirational:

"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves — from our recklessness or our greed."

HRH QUEEN ELIZABETH II

On behalf of myself, my readers, and The CP Diary community, our thoughts and condolences go out to the Queen's family in their time of grief. Condolences also go out everyone mourning her loss and to the 'commonwealth.'

RIP

  1. I was saddened to hear the news that Queen Elizabeth II has passed away and have become increasingly concerned about the state of the monarchy without her steadying influence.

    It remains to be seen, but the signs are not great, after only a few days. My thoughts go out to those who lost loves ones, who was affected by the tragedy on 9/11.

  2. Yes, also saddened, my thoughts go out to those who lost loved ones in 9/11.

    It’s not hard to think what you think about what is happening in the UK currently. Her majesty never mixed her position as Monarch with politics.

    It seems King Charles III is serving to do the opposite. I too have concerns without her steadying influence.
