    Rob – thank you for the tribute. Also It brings me great personal solace at this very sad time to be able to grieve alongside and with the HFP community. We will all have our own personal treasured memories of the late Queen and our own personal hopes for the new King at this challenging time but we are unified in our sadness, grief, respect and mourning.

      It’s such a shame you can’t like comments… Well said Mike. In a country more divided than ever, it’s a shame that her death has brought us together, but not surprising, given the person that she was. RIP QEII
