YOU could have heard a pin drop as King Charles led Britain in two minutes of sombre remembrance today.
The Monarch appeared to have the troubles of the world on his shoulders as he lay a wreath on the Cenotaph.
Our King cares so deeply for the soldiers who laid down their lives for Britain.
On a sombre Remembrance Sunday…
And he would have been thinking about those he too has lost in recent years, his mother The Queen being one of them.
I too remembered those in my family who lost their lives in World Wars.
My grandfather – my name sake who I never met – was only 36 when he sacrificed his life for our country.
He left five children behind, one of whom was my father. I think of him often.
But the star attraction was the Princess of Wales, and we were thrilled to see her.
Catherine – beautiful as always – looked really well as she shared the balcony with Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.
She cut a sombre figure along with the rest of Britain, during the two minutes of silence to remember fearless heroes who laid down their lives.
But then… a smile. And it was like a clap of thunder through my camera. She is the star attraction.
It is a shame our lovely Queen Camilla wasn’t at her side. She would have loved to be there.
But she felt, of course, that she must stay in the warm, and recover from her chest infection. And a wreath was laid on her behalf.
As the ceremony progressed, we saw Catherine chatting away with Sophie – they are of course, great pals.
The two sung hymns together – with plenty of gusto at that. I’d love to hear Kate sing…
I – like all of us – want to see Catherine fit and well before she gets back to work.
And today showed our Princess well on the road to recovery. I’m looking forward to seeing much more of her in the future.
