What a sad time. I thought after the announcement yesterday that the Queen was ill and the family were dashing off to see her, it was only a matter of time before her death was announced. Like the majority of people though, it's still a shock that it happened so quickly.
I put the TV on a few times yesterday while the children were here to check for updates. It all seemed a bit surreal.
It got me thinking about all the Jubilee activities we did earlier this year. Even though most of my children were too young to understand the significance of it, they could all recognise a picture of the Queen and they all knew that her favourite dogs were Corgis :) I'm glad I had the chance to do some Royal Family related activities with them and that they've got photos as reminders. The death of the Queen and the crowning of a new King will be a big part of their history, even if they don't know it.
