THREAD: In a time of turmoil, she was a source of constancy
In a time of grief, she was a source of comfort
In a time of confusion, she was a source of wisdom
In a time of despair, she inspired faith, hope, love & trust

It is extremely difficult to find the right words.
A truly remarkable, extraordinary, irreplaceable person, who epitomised duty, dignity, service, courage and wisdom, is no longer with us.
Rest in peace Your Majesty. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-615858…
