Today the eyes of the world will be trained on London and especially the abbey as the state funeral of our beloved monarch takes place.
I walked alongside the queue to Westminster Hall last Friday, a stroll that brought home just how much Queen Elizabeth II meant to so many people.
Rest in peace your Royal Highness.
I have admired Queen Elizabeth since I as a child. There will never be another like her, and it makes me sad to know that she is no longer here.
