JB has some tender thoughts to share.
I wrote this on Monday, and now it’s Friday, and wondered whether to share. it. Obviously, I decided to.
As a British subject, living on the other side of the world far from Queen and country, I have always been totally in awe of The Queen. I remember when we watched her marry her prince; when we learned of her accession to the throne; a day off from school for the coronation. So many memories over 70 years. And yes I am a Monarchist. But…
9/11 passed by here with hardly a murmur. 21 years and have we forgotten? There was little coverage in our news media, and I read no comments about the day on WordPress. Maybe there were posts on blogs I don’t read.
Most of the news here was about the Queen‘s passing. I agree she was a very good Monarch and somebody to look up to, but I wonder if we should be spending so much time on this 1 person’s death almost ignoring the 2996 who died because of 9/11.
Just a Brit, thinking on the other side of the world

the coverage is relentless; it is now day eight; time to let it rest; remember other lost souls —
I agree
Well said
