A lovely tribute to our much missed monarch Rob. She was a truly remarkable woman and should be renamed along with Alfred as the Great due to her exceptional and long reign. My wife and I will be paying our respects this weekend with her lying in state in the magnificent and historical Westminster Hall.
Every since I can remember I’ve admired her majesty’s commitment to her country. No other head of state of the last hundred years led a nation so elegantly and poised like she did. I only hope that the monarchs that will proceed her will look up to her example of humility and devotion. May Her Majesty rest in eternal peace.
Rest assured, I think finally, King Charlie understands the importance of his position and will be a great King of reform. With his work in Burnley, he has look out for the impoverish and weak. He will not follow the same path as his mother, she was unique! William and Katie are now in a fantastic position to blossom and influence the the world. I'm optimistic
Great video! As a Canadian, I was interested to see that Queen Elizabeth II's first TV appearance was to welcome her parents back to London after their historic tour of Canada and the U.S.! Anyway, thank you for a beautiful tribute to a great Queen!
Thanks Rob, an excellent tribute to our wonderful, beloved Queen showing how much of her is woven into the fabric of everyday life in London. Well researched and delivered from another Rob. 😊
Rob - walking the streets of London so we with bad hips don't have to. Another superbly crafted, informative and interesting video. Thank you. I was born in coronation year and so found the day of the Queen's passing very strange indeed. I don't think the 21st century is turning out quite like us 20th century folk hoped it might but the Queen was a direct link to a better time when politicians were by and large honest and upright, people weren't famous just for being famous and there was one fatal shooting a year at most. I was remembering the sweet shop too, in maybe 1960, when you could get 4 sweets for 1d. Imagine that... 960 sweets for £1. Happy days. I don't have particularly strong views on the subject but it seems to me that Trafalgar Square is too busy already statuary-wise and a bit grubby too. I could imagine an embankment statue, maybe outside the Queen Elizabeth Hall or maybe on a nice new, high plinth in the middle of a permanently pedestrianised Exhibition Road. Not my decision to make thankfully 🙂
Lovely comment Paul, thank you. Yes, the 21st century certainly isn't going well is it... one of the main icons I associate with that era is Concorde, which doesn't exist now of course; let alone have anything more advanced than that. Oh well! Stay well.
@@Robslondon I remember Concorde flanked by English Electric Lightnings flying slowish and lowish over London before going into service and right to the end my Ma got very excited seeing Concorde flying high over her Fulham flat 🙂
Another magnificent one Rob, and a fitting tribute to Her Majesty. She is, of course, the only Queen we have known, and she was a shining example of selfless giving. Forget the naysayers, the overwhelming feeling of most of us is one of great sadness and loss. Even our very young grandchildren, having laid flowers at Windsor Castle will remember her passing and I hope will learn more about her in the future if history is kind to her. God rest her soul and long live The King
Once again Rob I Thank you. a wonderful piece dedicated to her late Majesty. My she Rest In Peace. I was very lucky to heve seen her a number of times, first being at the age of 7 in Wimbledon during the 1977 Silver Jubilee celebrations. a Lady who will and is sadly missed by millions.
Rob a wonderful video tribute. How she will be missed. I am a distant cousin to the Queen we share Edward I as our ancestor. We visited Westminster Abby on our 25th anniversary and they had a photo exhibition and one was the of Queen and Prince Philip who shown visiting Westminster Abbey on their 25th anniversary. I have a picture that my grandmother of then Prince Charles boarding their plane that they where on going to London in 1970. Thanks again for a wonderful video. Take Care Chris and Sandra of Canada.
Absolutely brilliant video Rob. So impressed that you put together so much information, including images etc, in the short time since The Queen passed away. You have created a wonderful tribute to her memory. It gave me a lump in my throat when it ended silently, without your usual sign off. A massive thank you my friend.
Sorry to be pedantic but the Elizabeth tower is where the clock is sited, it's actually called the Great Clock of Westminster, Big Ben being it's bell.
She will always be my queen. I'm an American (Irish-American family). Once coming back from summer vacation the teacher hung news clippings on the wall. Asked us to write what we knew about them. I knew no one in the photos. He brought me up to one and said "who is this?!". I said I had no idea. He said it was the US president and I should know him. I said, it's not like it's the queen. Really liked the movie The King's Speech. I stammered as a child.
I hope the crown and the government allow for a suitable monument to QEII in London. It should be on par with the Victoria monument outside Buckingham Palace.
It seems kind of appropriate that the Crosrail Elizabeth line finally opened during the queen's final year. I don't really think there's much doubt what will be constructed atop the fourth plinth. Everyone knew all along what it was there for; they were just too polite to say it out loud. Those in charge of such things were obviously keeping it free until "something" happened. We will, very soon, be told what that "something" was.😁

Thanks for such a gentle and respectful video at this time Rob. I agree with the use of the 4th plinth. Be safe. Cheers. Lance.
70 years of public service. Has to be used for the Queen.
It’s a pleasure Lance, many thanks.
Agreed.
Well done Rob. The old bird will be sorely missed down my local pub, everyone always said she was the best score keeper on darts nights.

The 4th plinth show Her Majesty mounted on a horse. 🔱🏳🌈
One day hopefully....
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ruled the world when it was still a male dominated era back ages. Rip!
ps - Upon looking at street view I'm thinking the South Bank is not appropriate so I am putting all my worthless eggs in the Exhibition Road basket.
☹️🇬🇧
Very poignant, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Stephen.
To His Majesty King Charles the III.
