Thank you for the memories
On a recent low‐key trip to Scotland, the Queen met some American tourists while walking. When the tourists asked if she lived locally, she mentioned that she had a house near by, and when asked if she’d ever met the Queen she simply pointed at her security guard and said, “No, but he has!”

Moore on Facebook re calls: “First real memory of the Queen was the 1977 Silver Ju bilee, yet she’s been a large part of my (and most people’s) lives. Taught us decency, strength, honour and a work ethic second to none. Truly a momentous loss to not just the UK and the Commonwealth, but the world as a whole and I think that in the decades to come that this day will be regarded as the day the world became a darker and more insular world. The Queen united large parts of the world and defied all her critics and without that ‘glue’ holding and uniting us, I fear for the future . RIP Queen Elizabeth the Sec ond and Long Live the King!”
THE Queen’s funeral will be held on Monday, September 19. The public will not be able to attend but it will be broadcast on television. Here is the schedule for the day: When is the funeral?
When the people of Wales gifted her a house in the grounds of Windsor’s Royal Lodge. It was named Y Bwthyn Bach, which means ‘little cottage’.
Sam Fintz, who owns the Torrox Busi ness Hub with his partner Colin, saw the Queen in South Africa: “I was working in the harbour at a restaurant in 1995 and the Queen was doing a walk around and meeting people and was just a few feet away from me. I have never forgotten that moment and it is an experience that has stuck with me.”
Her actual birthday ‐ 21 April ‐ and her official birthday, which was held on a Saturday in June ‐ when the weather’s better.
Here the Euro Weekly News has put together a tribute to commemorate the Queen and her glorious reign.
He added: “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has undoubtedly witnessed, written and shaped many of the most relevant chapters in the history of our world during the last seven decades.“Hersense of duty, commitment and a whole life devoted to serving the people of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland set an example for all of us and will remain as a sold and valuable legacy for future generations.”

As King, already Charles and the Queen Consort have travelled to the Houses of Parliament to receive their condolences for the passing of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. This was the first visit on their national tour of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II.

KING CHARLES is the late Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest son of four chil dren, and father to William, Prince of Wales, and Harry, Duke of Sus sex.He was born at Buckingham Palace, London on November 14, 1948, making him 73 years old now. He attended schools in London, Hamp shire and Scotland before carrying out a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Cambridge.

Crowds gathered around Buckingham Palace.
King Charles and the Queen Consort.
Much like Queen Elizabeth reigned alongside her loving hus band Philip, Charles’ intention to work with his wife in order to serve the country was obvious in his first address, in which he declared that he will “count on the loving help of my darling wife Camilla.”
Camilla reportedly has “a wicked sense of humour,” and is “great” to work for, so no doubt she’ll make an excellent Queen Consort alongside King Charles.
Following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Thursday, September 8, 73‐year‐old Charles became the UK’s new monarch, heralding a new Carolean era. The new King had been heir apparent since the age of three, when his mother took to the throne in 1952. An ardent advocate for environmental protection during his time as the Prince of Wales, Charles III is now expected to take a more neutral stance in his new role as monarch.

As an observant critic of modernist architecture, Charles worked on the construction of Poundbury in Dorset, a town of low‐rise streetscapes built to hu man scale, which is home to some 4,200 people.
Many EWN readers have expressed how Camilla’s subse quent accession is what the queen would have wanted. One commenter is Helen Winslade, who writes that “It was actu ally Her Majesty the Queen herself who stated it was her wish that Camilla become Queen Consort when Charles be comes King to thank Camilla for all her hard work and loyalty.”

Next, Charles led a procession of his mother’s coffin at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, where he also attended a prayer service at St Giles Cathedral, before re turning to the place for an audience with SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon.
AS Charles becomes king following the death of his beloved mother, his faithful wife of 17 years Camilla, will stand by his side as Queen Consort.
As an environmentalist, Charles has also supported organic farming and other ac tion to reduce the impact of climate change, delivering his first official speech on the issue 52 years ago in 1970.
After completing his studies, Charles served his country in the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy between the years 1971‐1976.

The rise will, it is hoped, result in more people saving and less people bor rowing.Many economists still believe that slowing down spending and increas ing saving will go a long way in slow ing down the rate of inflation. How ever it remains to be seen whether the current hike proves that theory or whether it pushes the bloc into re cession, with much of the inflation across all sectors due to the crisis in Ukraine and the steep rise in energy costs.
Inflation is at record levels in Eu rope and the hike represents the largest ever by the ECB, bringing to an end the so‐called zero interest rate policy that the bloc had followed more nearly 11 years.

Personally, my age means that I re call her Coronation fairly well. Of course, we had very few televisions and at 13 years of age, school books were rather more prevalent than newspapers.Asapupil however, I do recollect being taught a song entitled ‘Let’s all be good Elizabethans’, a refrain which I do still remember, and also receiving a book on the Coronation (which I even now have in my posses sion). This of course means that I have witnessed her complete reign of 70 years, and although some of my early days were lived through a World War and saw the resignation of one monarch and the crowning of her father King George VI, it is she who has been the most prevalent in my lifetime, and I will miss her.

This means borrowing and spending more but for pen sioners, especially those in Spain who haven’t benefited from the energy support, the matter of the triple lock promise is looming in many minds.
The percentage increase that pensioners can expect to re ceive in April of next year will, in theory, be based on UK in flation and should reflect the standing of this September’s Consumer Price Index which is expected to be in excess of 10 per Problemcent.is of course that it was exceptionally suspended last year in order to help Britain recover some of its pandem ic spend and it is suggested that Liz Truss’s economic advi sors are convinced that she simply can’t afford to allow it to be reinstated now to benefit pensioners in 2023/24.
So, with the WASPI women still receiving no compensa tion from the lack of advance notice of the increase in pen sion age from the Department and Works and Pensions as confirmed by the Ombudsman and now the threat of no triple lock safety, it rather looks as if the so-called levellingup policy is going to miss a significant percentage of the population.
