Hello and welcome to the blog on this very sad day for the UK and for the whole world really.
Today is the funeral of our beloved Queen Elizabeth II. We say goodbye, thank you and farewell to our monarch who's reigned for 70 years and most of us have only know her as the monarch.
Our lives will never quite be the same and it’s almost like losing a family member or close friend.
Here in the UK we are having a very special Bank Holiday, with many places closed and only the people doing necessary jobs actually working. Nearly everyone has been given the opportunity to watch the day’s proceedings for her majesty’s funeral. My son is among the few who will still be working,
He works on the River Thames and will be working for Thames Clippers carrying mourners on the boats so they can watch and feel part of the events. Are you travelling to London to join the thousands of mourners? It's mentioned there could be a million people - staggering!
I’ll be watching on TV and it’s sure to be a sad and somber day.
