When she was born there were less than 2 billion people on Earth. Now there are almost 8 billion of us.

She started with Winston Churchill and ended with Liz Truss.

Born in April, 1926, it's crazy how much the world has changed in her lifetime. May she rest in peace.

It's mind-boggling to me to think about how long 70 years of reign actually is. How many world leaders she has seen come and go. How much the world changed since then.

If I remember correctly, the plan is that UK TV channels cancel all entertainment programs for the next ten days, so I look forward to more people going outside for the end of summer.
