"DOUBLE SHIFT ICU"

As the UK plunged into the depths of where the unknown virus was taking the citizenry Her Royal Highness chose to, in her role as leader to her people use that beautiful song phrase to create a hope. WE WILL MEET AGAIN. The Crown Jewels are of course not personal treasure of an individual but representations of the intent of office, hence the changing of the necklace, for example, to a stethoscope and the placement of Nightingales in the Crown. The diamond encrusted presentation of the medical equipment serves to exaggerate and push forward the place of front line medical staff in importance rather than to aggrandise the Queen's individual position. There is play in the brooch which is based on one honouring Florence Nightingale's service in the Crimea. The graphic depiction of the marks and bruises experienced by Nightingale staff are specific to recognise service, not minimised and blatant for all to see. As they mark HRH here they marked a nation. In her last years Elizabeth faced some brutal familial truths including sitting alone at her beloved husband's funeral and the question of all her values as her grandson reassessed his life allegiances. These "wounds of work also recognise those difficulties. Thanks to those who serve. We now know that Elizabeth Windsor walked into several brutal storms at the end of her life with courage, strength and dignity. They were a tough last stanza of what will always be remembered as a glorious poem of dedication. God Bless her.
