Buckingham Palace releases smiling Queen photograph taken in May

It’s Her Majesty’s funeral today.
This may sound daft, but while she was alive and working my parent’s generation were still with us, even though my own parents died many years ago, and my  in-laws in recent years. Now she is gone we and The King are the oldies. And Prince William and his generation are the adults in their prime.
It’s the way of the world.

This is a great picture, released yesterday,  to remind us of the everlasting hope and joy.
