This is probably the only death of a public figure that has really hit me hard. The Queen was a constant all of my life, all of my parents' lives and, indeed, a good deal of my grandparents' lives. The comfort she could bring to many is not to be underestimated in my view. When Covid-19 was kicking off in the UK, and our lives were changing in ways we couldn't predict, I remember being immensely comforted by her speech.

Indeed, it felt like a safe, reassuring voice in a sea of panic. A voice that had been heard for decades and for me at least, represented that “keep calm and carry on” mentality. RIP
