My only connection with the Queen was as a Brownie and Guide. Thereafter I have listened to the Queen's speech at Christmas and sang, or at least tried to sing, the national anthem at football matches. Probably about the same as most others I know.
I don't understand the wall-to-wall press coverage, outpouring of grief, teddies and flowers, and queuing for hours to see the Queen lying-in-state which in reality is a platform with a flag draped over it.
What exactly has the Queen done to deserve this level of admiration? How exactly has she enhanced the lives of her subjects during her reign?
