The Queen Remembers
I first saw this story in The Times, but it’s also here in the Daily Mail. This is the first few paragraphs.
The Queen will honour the bodyguard who protected her when she was a princess during the war by attending a chapel built in his memory next month.
Lieutenant Robin Tudsbery was one of the selected few members of the Royal Horse Guards assigned to guard the King, Queen and their daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, during World War II.
The teenage princesses grew very fond of him, but tragically he was killed aged just 25 in Germany days before the conflict ended in 1945
It says in The Times, that the Queen,will be the only person at the service, who actually knew Lieutenant Tudsbury.
Come to think of it, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, must be almost the only world leaders, who experienced the Second World War first hand and still have their marbles about them!
