I am sending my heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family during this sad time. Queen Elizabeth first'came into my life' in February 1952 when my primary school teacher solemnly announced that King George Vi had died and that we now had a beautiful young queen on the throne. The queen has been a part of my life for 70 years. I can't believe that she's gone. I will miss her. What a wonderful exemplar she is to all of us!
