The Queen is Dead

Queen Elizabeth II died today (September 8, 2022), aged 96, after 70 years of service.
I am not British, but I have always had the utmost respect for this remarkable woman.
When it was about self-discipline and performance of one's duties this lady has always been my role model. Always doing what had to be done. A person from an era when honesty meant much more than money, and perhaps even more than life.
Sad news.
Sit tibi terra levis, Queen Elizabeth. 😕

No matter what you think of the monarchy as an institution, no one can deny the remarkable sense of duty and sacrifice at which she performed her duties to the utmost of her abilities tirelessly.

She understood she was privileged so she did not whine and complain.

RIP
