Nothing more to say
What can I add to what has already been written and said? I never met Her late Majesty. I did not know her. I have nothing to contribute; no special insight, no special wisdom. The events of the day are what they are. It’s sad, but there it is. I awoke an Elizabethan and I shall retire a Caroline. So shall we all.
There are, of course, many other things happening in this world, but we shall probably hear little of them, so I can say nothing of those either.
There will be another day tomorrow. Sleep well.
