She looked happy and relaxed on here visit to Eire, maybe we can hope that after 91 years of remembering what we did there, they can now move on from then till now

The end is nigh?

it is a step in the right direction

I know she doesn't have to lift a finger for what she wants, but for a woman of 85 to keep going all day, stuffy state banquets when I'm sure she's just rather have a cup of soup and watch Corrie,amazes me. She is 23 years older than me and I have nothing like her stamina.

The Boyne in 1690? That's only yesterday in terms of Irish history. In 1171 Henry 11 landed in Waterford. That's when our troubles started.

She may be 85 but what about Phil? He will soon be 90 and still walks as straight as a die.

I bet he had his orders before they went, to keep his mouth shut.

Timescale...don't me daft!, how can I?

the Queens visit to me was a step in the right direction to try to heal wounds, I have read about Ireland and her troubles so I am not being flippant in suggesting maybe forgiveness has to start somewhere or carry on with hatred, I know which bit I prefer!

Look on the bright side, RedHelen. These things were done so that you could all come over to England and live off the fat of the land. Sometimes one needs to be cruel to be kind.
