Speaking about what her mother had felt about the Platinum Jubilee last June, she said: 'It was a long weekend for her. But when she came at the end, that really made a difference. I think she appreciated it'.

Anne then reflected on the death of her mother in the interview. She was moved by it.

Speaking of the days travelling the country during the mourning period, she said: 'I think we took a lot of it in, partly because we knew the route and I did actually spot people I knew on the way.

'It was such an impressive sight and it was more than that because it was really touching in the way that people responded and how they did things.

'People brought their ponies and horses out, but they not only brought them out, they plaited them, they were properly dressed and well turned out.

'They brought their tractors out, and they parked them tidily, they were all clean.

'If you come from a rural background I was really impressed, it was just an astonishing sight.

'But the sheer numbers of people who turned up in quite extraordinary places. You're never going to miss that and the atmosphere it created.

@Herat are you in London now? Hope you’ve made it over!!
 
Yes, boots on the ground in London. Have been enjoying walking around The Mall from Buckingham Palace to Westminster in the glorious sun with thousands of other happy people. The city is bustling and busy. Security is everwhere, but discrete.

Next goal is to see Big Ben lit up at night, possibly from a boat on The Thames, but I've been too tired, with sore fee, to stay up long enough for the lights to come on.

''The late Queen rarely looked happier than when she had a winning horse at Royal Ascot.

So when her son on Thursday saw one of his runners cross the line victorious for the first time at the race meeting, it would only be natural for his first thought to have been his mother – and for that to bring a tear to his eye.

The King was visibly moved as he watched Desert Hero, an 18-1 shot bred by the late monarch win the King George V Stakes and “keep her dream alive” at her favourite racing event.

An emotional King celebrated his winner in the Royal box alongside Queen Camilla, who wiped away tears next to a smiling Princess Anne in a touching display of solidarity.''

“(The statue) will serve as a lasting symbol of our traditions and values, and we hope it educates and inspires visitors to Queen's Park today and for generations to come.”

The piece has been years in the making, having been first commissioned in 2016 after receiving the Queen’s approval.

Ontario artist Ruth Abernethy told CTV News Toronto in the summer(opens in a new tab) that the statue depicts the Queen as she appeared when she spoke to the Canadian Parliament in 1977. However, she added a cape because “it was less static.”

“And this [being] Canada, you know you want to feel that in the middle of a Canadian winter she could pull that round herself [when] she needs to.”

How heartwarming it is to see the ER insignia plaque and the statue's recognizable and realistic image of The Late Queen Elizabeth II. This is one of the best depictions of her strength and duty to The Crown that I have seen.

It has been knows since her passing that she had a kind of malignant blood neoplasm called myeloma which is a malignant proliferation of plasma cells, usually classified medically classified as a bone marrow neoplasm rather than a bone malignancy. This occurs in the bone marrow and can spread through the bone marrow or metastasize as a solid malignancy where it is called a plasmacytoma.
