I'm sat alone in my small flat. It's cold. And I'm emotional. Before me is the march of the cortege from the Cathedral to the Palace. And spectacle of colour on a difficult day.
Later our Queen will be laid to rest alongside her husband at Windsor Castle. The streets are packed as we witness history.
My thoughts are jumbled, I feel empty and I feel sad. We all pass one day but it is hard to fathom what is going on today.
Although I never met her the Queen was the one enduring constant in my at times troubled life. A great Monarch. A great leader. And a great woman.
Who would have thought back in 1952 when accession to the throne that a single woman in a political world dominated by men could do so well?
The coffin is approaching the Palace now. With that I will leave you. Farewell to you and goodbye to her Majesty.
I Heard a Voice
