May God Save the King ….

Sadly , today the words of the British National Anthem have changed from  God Save the Queen  to  God Save the King as the inevitable happened with the passing of Queen Elizabeth . In mark of it I will ask you reread a recent post of mine  of her most recent milestone ….

{  So far …. all my life

The Queens Jubilee occurred today to mark her 70 years of unrelenting service to her British subjects and I do truly love her for it .

Should you ever hold a conversation with me you might immediately think that I’m as “American as Apple Pie” and truth be told … you’d be correct . But that doesn’t change past history or the fact that I arrived here with my Mother from some place else to indulge that piece of American pie . Through no fault of my own I was born in England and transported here .

My Grandparents adored this Queen right up to the day they died as did my Mother . In fact her brother served as a soldier in The Queens Horse Guard regiment outside Buckingham Palace when I was a child..

As American as I may now be England is my nation of birth and Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor forever my Queen . So forgive me if I’m not a direct descendant of a sailor on the Mayflower or that I think this day of the Queens Jubilee to just slightly be one up over Cinco de Mayo .  }

No one on earth had such grace or class and I will always be proud to say that …
