Watching the funeral of Prince Philip this morning reminded me that he and the Queen have been in the news for most my life. Now just short of 100, he's past leaving the Queen to continue on alone.
I was surprised how sad it made me to watch her walk to the chapel alone, clad in black and stooped over. Yes, eyes were misty.
I've mentioned here before that the first time I saw television was Queen Elizabeth's coronation. I was a first grader and a classmate lived across the street from the school. Our class trooped over and squeezed into their living room to see the pomp of a coronation as only the British can do.
That was nearly 70 years ago, so yeah, damn I'm old.
