When Her Majesty the Queen Mother died peacefully in her sleep aged 101, the nation lost one of its best-loved royals.
Throughout her extraordinary life spanning the whole of the 20th century, the Queen Mother had a remarkable ability to reach the ordinary people. Her life was one of duty, serving the nation. Although her great age and ill health had left her frail in the latter years, she tirelessly continued her public duties, determined not to disappoint her people.
After World War II broke out, Queen Elizabeth’s morale boosting visits to bombed-out parts of Britain’s helped to turn the tide of war and established her place firmly in the hearts of the nation.
Unashamedly extravagant and gloriously grand, she lived in a style she had grown up with – no matter how much the modern world changed. Et it is not her profligacy we will remember, but the patriotism and pride she would never surrender.
