In 1947, I remember being at school when the Queen and her family drove past. I vividly remember seeing her wave at us – she had grace and valor as a young lady, and that remained throughout her tenure as Her Majesty. She was a fine leader and even finer woman. Rest In Peace. pic.twitter.com/K0ebAkWm8x
