JUST STUFF IT

Today Queen Elizabeth joined her ancestors. Which was not entirely unexpected. On Facebook a number of people are posting comments that, at the very least, can be considered opportunistic and snide.

They should shut up. Now is not the time. Stop being ungracious.

The British monarchy is a symbol of continuity and endurance quite as much as it is a vestige of the middle ages, and as such represents much that is bright and good in modern England. And that is a lot.


Queen Elizabeth fulfilled her assigned roles admirably.
Britain and the Commonwealth were blessed.
As were their allies.
