At the age of 10, whilst at swimming lessons, Elizabeth unexpectedly became the heir apparent.
With no brothers born thereafter, she was Queen.
At a time long before gender issues presented at work, she was a fierce, calm, gracious leader.

And, finally, she gets to rest.
Don’t be frightened Ma’am. The entire World will be holding your hand.
