Queen Elizabeth – duty, commitment, loyalty

Peter Brookes: The TimesA trooper to the end, the Queen lived up to her Saturnine Midheaven by swearing in a new Prime Minister two days before she died. An unrelenting sense of old-fashioned duty saw her through seven decades on the throne. She was described as the ‘keystone’ for the UK which gives a pointer to the void she leaves between for a country already in a turmoil of uncertainty.The time of death was given as 2.37pm by Lady Colin Campbell but is yet to be confirmed.
