I’ve been looking at videos from when she visited Ireland and came to Cork. Such a wonderful historical moment for us.
You can bow to the past but not be bound by it.

We will be going to Balmoral Castle tomorrow morning for the moving of the Queen to Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh.
It's just a 1 hr and 47 min drive from our house.
Believe her coffin will at Holyrood Palace for 24 hrs so the public can file past whilst the Vigil of the Princes by the coffin is held.
After that, Operation OVERSTUDY flies the coffin to London.

About 10.20am, Her Majesty's coffin and cortege passed us in the village of Ballater - first stop in the journey.
Was a lot more emotional than I expected, tbh. Everyone was stoic yet feeling the emotion.
At 12pm, we're getting the bus up to Balmoral Castle as that's the only way there today.

A couple of images I took yesterday. Our simple floral tribute is bottom right (square card): River Dee - you walk over the bridge towards Balmoral Castle gates. The weather was great:

As a black woman from America the royal family does have a history of racism and colonialism 😏😏😏 and it's still happening today as we speak that's not to say that America and the rest of the world doesn't have this problem either.
now i wanna start off by saying Queen Elizabeth II did not ask to be born into this family. some of her family was a fan Hitler and we all know what that terrible man did to people especially the Jews.
i believe life after death and judgment she wasn't perfect, i'm not perfect, and most people on this earth not either.
even though i didn't know her personally i'm gonna miss seeing her and her outfits. i see it as an end of an era. people saw and known her from generations.
she lived a long life and seen alot of things.
what also makes me sad is the fact Princess Diana isn't alive. if she stayed with Charles she could have been Queen today. i always thought Charles wasn't never gonna be King. not because the divorce but his age.
but anyway i feel people should be respectful. she was someone mom, sister, daughter, grandmother etc.
i'm not into the royal family that much but have few people in my family who into it alittle. i'm also a person who loves history. i wouldn't call myself an historian though.
some people feel royal families are outdated which in my opinion i agree.
may she rest in peace my prayers and goes to the family and the UK.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
