One year ago today saw the death of Queen Elizabeth II. I was at work and I'd flipped over to the news and saw a report that Her Majesty's condition was being closely monitored by her doctors, then family members arrived at Balmoral, and shortly thereafter, her death was announced. Where were you when you heard?
It was the end of an era and tributes poured in from all over the world. There were enormous queues, hours long, as people waited to pay their respects to the flag-draped coffin carrying the only monarch many of them had ever known, and hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets of London on the day of her funeral, while millions watched around the world.
Today, King Charles III sent the following message accompanied by a previously unseen photo of Her Majesty.
Has it really been a year?!? I can't believe it. It really does not seem that long ago. Wow -
