We were all floored by the sad news yesterday of the Queen's passing. She was not well and it was not, perhaps, a surprise: that does not mean it was not a shock.
The closest I ever got to the Queen was about 20ft. The occasion was the distribution of Maundy money in the 1970s when ex-cathedral choristers were drafted in to assist recipients who needs pushing in their wheelchairs.
I had a phone call earlier this morning to play for a service so I have had to brush up the organ part to Fauré's "In Paradisum"
Queen Elizabeth has been a stabilizing force for the country in my lifetime. Let's hope Charles carries on the good work.
