She was 96. https://apnews.com/article/queen-elizabeth-ii-health-update-b2578aa91c3fef9c5d6ad4a557bf63e4? phkrause 1 Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Moderators Kevin H Posted September 19, 2022 Moderators Posted September 19, 2022 The funeral is now over. On the news they kept mentioning how great this event was and wondering if there was anything else in history that can compare. You could tell how young the reporters are, because some of us remember a program that can be compared to; the funeral of John Kennedy. But these intense events are few and far between, and TV has played a big part to include so much of the rest of the world. President Kennedy for those who loved him and the tragic way we lost him, and Queen Elizabeth for her long and beloved reign. A CNN reporter last week was reading some of the cards and notes left at Buckingham Palace; and I loved what one of these cards said: Rest in Peace Arise in Glory! Quote
