That Day As I write, a video of The Queen Mother's funeral plays in the background. Although I feel compelled to watch, I find it difficult. I've never been to a funeral in my life -- when my own grandmother's died I was too young, I suppose, so this is something I'm yet to confront. Things are easier in this case, because, understandably, because of who she was, this is being treated as a historic moment -- and in a way this is an opportunity to give younger generations an incling of their past. It's justa shame that a number of the obitumentaries are implying she didn't do anything after the blitz -- which doesn't seem at all fair...
