Tina Brown on the Queen's mystique

By her temperament, and her reassuring presence in the lives of her subjects, Queen Elizabeth II was the very model of a modern monarch. CBS News contributor Tina Brown, author of "The Palace Papers," talks with correspondent Mo Rocca about the Queen's mystique, and how Her Majesty evoked history and familiarity in a turbulent world.

Just a girl, then lifelong servant to her people, we miss her terribly already. Now may she have eternal peace and rest. May I share this quote from a pastor. It truly sums up Elizabeth thru and thru. ' Life is not a journey to the grave with the intent of arriving in a safe well preserved body. Rather it is sliding in to home base, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and wildly exclaiming - Wow! what a ride. ' Yes, just a girl, in the arms of angels now. Thankyou, Your Majesty.

Neither of the Queens Elizabeth were born to be reigning monarchs, but both made it their own, appropriate to their respective eras.

She was a child during the Great Depression and then an adolescent and young married during the WWII rationing years. In Britain the rationing did not end until a decade after the war did, because they were in such dire financial straits from the fight.

Such words as "service" & "duty" have become mostly meaningless today, hopelessly old-fashioned, & something that belongs, rather laughingly now, to another era. Not so! Queen Elizabeth proved for 70 years how relevant these concepts are & remain---and how they must continue to be preserved & valued for all time to come. The western world, especially, needs to follow Elizabeth's sterling, unflagging belief in these concepts!

Reading some comments by people who can not understand why we mourn our Queen reveals that they do not understand her presence in our lives. I British and am 60 and have known no other leader because she was on the throne 10 years before I was born. She came to our school and to our hospital just as she did to many others. Her image was on our money and our stamps. The Armed forces swore an oath of loyalty to her. The Royal Navy ships had her name at the beginning HMS. Her face smiled down at us from the walls of class rooms, Army Barracks, Courts of law, police stations, Hospitals etc. Her face was everywhere from birth to death for 70 years. Very few remember any other Monarch although I did know somebody who saw Queen Victoria in 1897 during her diamond jubilee. My grandmother was 21 years old in January 1901 when Queen Victoria died. Queen Elizabeth II has few others who remember any other Queen Sovereign.

@言行一致 the two princes were asked by their grandfather if they wishes to walk behind their mother's coffin. He said if they did he would walk with them. At a similar age to William Prince Philip walked behind his sister's and the rest of the family when they were killed in a plane crash and he never regretted it.

Reaching our destination To find Heaven’s gate ajar. God made us able to cry Sorrow teaches us to fear. Those days we’re selfish and cruel When life is so short and dear. Time wipes tears from all faces Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow. Those that cry a thousand tears Shall be blessed by tomorrow. It matters not, how long we live More, how well we play our part.

TEARS = 2022 # Tears are the raindrops of the soul And there's one for all who die. They are the silent words of grief As they fall free from the eye. The shortest verse in the Bible Is the one where Jesus wept So, if you hold back tears, shed them When your pain is too harsh to accept. Tears are lovelier than a smile When they come from those you love As they seek relief from sadness When you're summoned from above. Tears are a love-mates humble gift When it's time to say goodbye Though the eyes are wet and swollen With time and patience they dry.
