RIP

I met Her Majesty only once when I attended a civil service awards ceremony hosted by her at Buckingham Palace. We didn’t win but we all enjoyed being part of the occasion and having a very few brief words with her as she moved around the room. (The room being the magnificent Queen’s Gallery!) As has often been said and will no doubt be repeated frequently in the coming days she made an impact.


I posted the bottom half of this certificate on 9 April last year. Tonight the top right seems appropriate as we leave the Elizabethan era.
