An Australian city councilman who met Britain's Queen Elizabeth on her final trip to his country in 2011 remembered a warm and engaging monarch who showed a genuine interest in his life.
"She chatted to us, and I’m sure she had conversations like that a thousand times a day but, when you spoke to her, it felt one-on-one and genuine," said Ben Mitchell, as he recalled his encounter in Perth with the queen, who died last week, aged 96.
