Mark Dolan – “What can you say about her Majesty the Queen? I mean doing something successfully for seven years is impressive. But 70? Years? Do me a favour. This shy humble woman was thrust into the spotlight at the age of 25. Incredibly, first prime minister who reported to her as monarch was Winston Churchill. It was 1952 and this young Princess was now being briefed on a weekly basis by a giant of British politics and public life, Churchill himself…You would need a heart of stone and the absence of a pulse, to not have been moved by that now famous photograph of her sitting all by herself in Westminster Abbey at her husband’s funeral…Around the world, most countries have to muddle along with elected heads of state who are normally clapped out ex-politicians, or tired public figures. The person representing the UK is one of the most globally recognised people on the planet…So, happy jubilee ma’am. There are no words. Actually, there are two. Thank you.”
Feb 2022. Her Majesty, The Queen
