Not a phrase I ever thought I’d write: it was Billy Idol who put it best.
Amidst the outpouring of grief, he wrote: “The Queen passing made me think of my mum Joan Broad who passed two years ago, both born of the same era and lived their lives with cool, dignity and grace.”
Without us really thinking about it, the Queen was part of all our lives –both centre stage, and quietly, constantly, in the background.
