Vigil

The Queen’s four children standing vigil around her coffin this evening in Edinburgh. What he and his siblings are having to do, so soon after their mother's death, would quite simply have been beyond me with my parents.

So humbling .makes you feel so proud. I'm so tearful at all these moments..what an emotional time Phil ,and they too need to grieve,yet they have all these duties to do

[Carole Sandford]

It’s a lot for them to have to do. With all these church services it’s like attending more than one funeral.

[Babs]

What an ordeal for all of them. Like Groundhog Day, living the day their mother died over and over again. It will be some time before they are able to grieve.

I can’t even imagine how hard this is for them, it’s certainly bringing me to tears
