A warm goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II
She meant so much for so many people, not only in England or the CommonWealth, but to other nations! An Example, a Servant of her peoples, a Leader, a Mechanic, a Mother and Grandmother, and above all, the symbol of union!
Never heard anything bad or criticism about her! With many friends from the UK and Commonwealth countries, have lived and travelled and experienced the culture, one person - or shall I say - a Legacy stands out above all: the example of the longest living monarch in Britain ever.
Her long reign became not only something to copy, but a comparison or casual meme over short-living elements, showing the resilience she endured: surviving Wars, Economic Crisis and even pandemics! She has been served by 15 UK Prime Ministers and more than 170 Prime Ministers across her realms!!!
Today, something historic has happened: the UK and the CommonWealth realms have bid farewell to HM Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied to a worldwide assembly of people on broadcast, social media and radio, that has been predicted to top 4 Billion people.
I have sensed this not only at the house, where my wife careful set the Alarm to accompany the funeral ceremony at the Westminster Abbey, packed with leaders from all around the world. But also, it has shocked me that people were watching at the subway on the way to work! The Uber driver has been watching it on youtube live, while driving across town.
My family watched with sadness such historic moment. My little girls surprised by the rituals, dedication, devotion and respect that all people has shown. An example to be followed!!!
In devoted memory,
Bruno Lima & Family.
