Thank you for the years, for all your time and love. Now I am one of two again, in our Palace up above." It’s called Philip Came To Me Today and is written from the point of view of Her Majesty after her husband died, but it works well following the Queen’s death too.

What a woman. God bless her." She will be remembered for her steadfast loyalty and service and my thoughts are with the royal family at this incredibly sad time." Dignified, humble, wise, stoic, and dedicated to duty & service to the country she loved. Thank you for everything, Ma’am. We will be forever indebted to you."
