For most of my life "The Queen" has only meant one person, Queen Elizabeth.
I can remember vividly the day of her coronation.

I was a 13 year old boy living in North Dakota, just 50 miles from the Canadian border.
We could pick up many Canadian radio stations and I spent the day listening to the BBC coverage of the big event in far away London.
As a self-admitted Royalist though not governed by the Monarchy, I watched through the years as this young woman lived and ruled on and on and on.
And now, finally, she is gone.
Only two days ago she named a new Prime Minister, her 15th.
It's a melancholy day for me and for many others in Britain and throughout the world.
She did well and history will long remember her.
