No, people like her don't break. Of course at her age her time is limited, but I won't speculate about that sad day. It will come when it comes. It will seem strange having a King again though - I've kind of got used to Her Majesty being on the throne!

Absolutely - me too. That's why I reacted to what I wrongly perceived to be a mocking post.

Exactly. And I am.

Glad that it wasn't posted in a nasty and derogatory way after all.
