Good Night To The Queen

[DTCwordfan]

A lot of us are thinking of you tonight and what you have been through and I am sure folk here on AB will add appropriate material. Sleep tight after what must have been an emotionally mind-blowing day.

Night

Please add any appropriate material that underpins your sentiments for the Queen in particular this evening.

[Cloverjo]

Poor woman shouldn’t have had to sit on her own at the funeral. I am thinking of her and hope she can have someone with her tonight.

[DTCwordfan]

I am sure that there are family and the likes of Susan Hussey around her this evening......

[Bobbisox1]

Her Majesty has been in most people’s thoughts , 74 years wedded to someone is a lifetime , she was dignified in her solace today ,my thoughts are with her and her family

[Mamyalynne]

There'll be a sense of relief after a poignant and moving last goodbye.

Memories last forever.

[calmck]

You will be in the thoughts and prayers of many tonight. Thank you for an amazing show of strength and fortitude in adversity and grief.
May God bless you and keep you safe Your Majesty

I bet she wishes they'd just leave her alone. I know it was a fictional series but in Will and Grace, when Rosario, Karen's maid and carer, died, Karen vanishes just before the funeral and they find her in the bar. She says words to the effect that she just wants to be alone because people keep saying to her "what do you need Karen, what do you need?" The next bit really resonated with me she said "I need Rosario not to be dead. Can you do that?"

[237SJ]

Will and Grace - really?

[woofgang]

yup why not?

[Mamyalynne]

I declined all offers for someone to stay with me the night after my Husband's funeral.

I wanted some peace.

[tonyav]

Goodnight your majesty, dream of happier days.

[237SJ]

I thought that this was very

[237SJ]

Very *mournful*

[tonyav]

It was, 237SJ ( but bagpipes always sound mournful to me ).

[grumpy01]

Is all I hope is that the Queen does not lose the Will to live as can happen after one partner of a long term marriage passes away.God bless her and I hope that some of the families problems can be resolved at this sad time.

[woofgang]

Me too Mamya.

.....and dreaming of happier days is so horrible when you wake.

[Mamyalynne]

Ah yes, the waking moment - so many know it.

[Canary42]

She looked such a sad figure, who could fail to feel sympathy for her.

My thoughts turned back to her coronation and the happy smiling figure she was then. Tempus Fugit

[sandyRoe]

Eventually grief is the price of love.

[seekeerz]

That is it in a nutshell, thanks Sandy.....it is the price we pay.

The Queen has always appeared to be very strong in the face of all adversity- I hope that strength doesn’t desert her now perhaps when she needs it most.

[emmie]

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterward, remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

~ Christina Rossetti
