Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Our Times | Sarah Bradford
14 posts
Elizabeth II has lived through the Abdication, the Blitz and World War Two, the sex and spy scandals of the swinging sixties, the Cold War and the nuclear threat and the Fall of the Berlin Wall. She has known 11 US Presidents including JFK and Ronald Reagan, and other world leaders like President Mandela and Pope John XXII. Her Prime Ministers have ranged from Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher to David Cameron, the last only ten years older than her grandson. Her own family experiences, a mixture of happiness and crisis, weddings and divorces, and, in the case of Diana, violent death, have been lived in the glare of tabloid headlines. More than 2 billion people watched the wedding of her grandson Prince William to Catherine Middleton in 2010 shortly before she made the first State Visit to Ireland by a British monarch for 100 years. Our world has changed more in her lifetime than in any of her predecessors': the Queen has remained a calm presence at the centre, earning the respect of monarchists and republicans.

September 9 #IndelibleMoments Loss As a Canadian who only had this Monarch all my life, I am very saddened by her passing. A great Era of her reign has ended.

With the news today 💔 I would love to read a book about Elizabeth or the royals or any related to the British monarchy. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share any recommendations you have with me !!! It is hard for me to read too much nonfiction at one time so I would love to have some ideas of good reads. Thanks in advance 👑

96 & still a horse girl! Buybeck Nightingale & Buybeck Katie are the names of these Fell ponies .

LeahBergen I love this pic. 🥰 3y
Leftcoastzen @LeahBergen I do too! She looks happy.💗last I heard she was on docs orders not to ride & pretty annoyed about it. (edited) 3y
LeahBergen I know! ☹️ I imagine she can‘t remember a time when she wasn‘t a rider. I was thoroughly impressed when I read what an active hand she took in regard to the breeding of her horses and dogs. 3y
Leftcoastzen @LeahBergen Shetland pony at 4! Politically I should not care about the Royals , should actually be on a rant , she wore me down .😁 3y
TheSpineView That so wonderful! I hope I am still riding and going to the barn in my 90s!💜🐎 3y
