Beautiful Tara, thank you. I love your statement about embracing it all - the lofty grandeur and the ugly realities - in honour of this truly remarkable human being.
Thank you, Tara, for a most endearing and eloquent piece. To share your memories while also talking about balancing today's disparate state of affairs takes skill. And you truly have that skill well honed.
I just subscribed and am also purchasing your book. Well written and worthy of my full attention (scrolled through while at work). Cannot wait to fully read it.

Tara,
I had time to read this and so thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to reading the entire book. Wanted to let you know that I was printing a copy of it to bring to my mother-in-law, age 96 (while she reads online, longer more in-depth articles, she likes to read in print). Having done the copy and paste, I found one small, tiny, but perhaps significant typo given it is an essay on the Queen. It's in the 5th paragraph from the end. When I copied it into Word, I found an automatic underscore on the 20th word in the final sentence. Oops. I corrected it in the copy I'm bringing her this afternoon. As a side note, I'm guessing that the Queen would get a laugh out of it as in all accounts I've read; she had quite a sense of humor. Just thought you may want to know and to also let you know that I got a chuckle over it. One of my favorite photos of my father and uncle was taken at a 'public park' in front of a sign that also misspelled the word.
well written well done I remember visiting in the 70ś nice tohavethe continuity these days . The Queen did an outstanding job over the yeas , no easy task ,not sure the new group is up to the task ,not at this time . They need to get their act together first
This is a stunning piece of writing, Tara. Thank you for sharing your memories, and your great gift. Diane

Ha! That's def a good one. Thanks for that, it gave me a chuckle. And thanks everyone, for your generous comments.
This was lovely Tara, thank you. A good cry was had as I read about your Nan and missed mine. Lesley
I am not even British but found this profoundly moving. Thank you.
Ms. Henley, you nourish us with your writing as your Nan fed you
