Daisy Morton has just watched the third and final programme of Andrew Marr's "The Diamond Queen" on BBC1 television tonight and now, somewhat misty-eyed and rather choked of voice, she's writing this short blog in a vain attempt to put her feelings into coherent speech.
"What an amazing golden jubilee tribute Andrew Marr has produced and covering, in three hour-long programmes, the 60 years Her Majesty has reigned over us, her people and her country; and The Commonwealth.
Her Majesty has carried out an enormous and varied amount of duties and ceremonial occasions and has remained at the centre of all of our lives for all that time.
She is, and has always been, the constant and unwavering presence in our national life and I, for one, am very glad this has been so.
Daisy Morton can personally remember dressing up for their pageant to mark Her Majesty's Coronation with an outfit decorated with red, white and blue crepe paper and wearing a similarly dressed straw hat and still has the photograph of that occasion.
Daisy can remember her own father being presented to Her Majesty and the occasion when she was present at a Royal Garden Party.
"We have a Royal Monarch who is, as our Queen, our National Identity and, our National Treasure and we are most fortunate in claiming Her Majesty for our own Queen".
These are Daisy Morton's own views and opinions which are most dearly held and believed in.
