The footage is fascinating. The last bit on the plane back from Africa has just made my eyes leak a little bit.

Must have been devastating to lose your father and gain so much responsibility at the same time.

Kim, out of interest, would you say people in the army dump their children when they go on tour for 6 months? Or away for training etc.

And didn't she look so sad and alone in that footage from the flight back when her father had died? Heartbreaking.

Grr, bloody DH has vetoed the ITV show on account of 'being all queened out'. Off with his head!

Dh is out. Mind you makes no odds as he would be hanging on every word.

roundtable I don't think that's a fair comparison. She could have taken them with her - not an option open to anyone in the army. But I guess that was a different era and she has always been known for her devotion to duty and it seems as though her sense of duty sometimes gets in the way of the immediate emotional needs of her family.

Feeling ridiculously proud to be British at the mo - having a wonderful example of such a strong woman at the helm of our country, who has reigned through such a phenomenal period of change - I'm so looking forward to celebrating this weekend Smile
