I know this has nothing to do with Coeliac disease but as a British contributor to this forum I hope you don't mind if I mark the passing of the Queen.   A very sad day.

I found this sweet image on the internet, reminding me of the video she made with Paddington The Bear to mark her Platinum Jubilee only three months ago.   I wanted to post that video but it won't let me, but if you haven't seen it, it is on youtube.   It is entitled "Ma’amalade sandwich Your Majesty?"

Yes, as very sad day indeed! What an amazing reign, and life!! 96, that's amazing!

King Charles has some big shoes to fill, and he seems to have grown up quite a lot since his days with Princess Dianna. I hope he can live up to his new role!

Condolences, @cristiana.  

Wonderful video!  I always wondered what she carried in her purse.  She will be greatly missed.

Thank you both.

What the Queen actually carried in her handbag was hotly debated!   That was a real coup, trust Paddington the Bear to find out!  I am not sure if it was a gluten free sandwich, though...

She was so loved, and even people who didn't think themselves as Royalists are saying how surprised they are at how upset they find themselves at her passing.   

My own family, like so many others in this country, had her as a guest every Christmas - in a manner of speaking - when everything stopped at 3pm on Christmas Day for the annual Christmas "Queen's Speech" on TV.   She was on TV all the time, visiting hospitals, welcoming Heads of State, etc and was the patron of so many charities. 

It feels very disorientating that someone who has been there for seventy years has gone.

So very sorry for your loss.  She was so graceful and gracious. A true example of service in action. May she rest in peace reunited with the love of her life.   Best wishes to King Charles III and long live the King!

I am so sorry for your loss...what a remarkable person she was!  I've been to England twice...I remember standing outside of Buckingham Palace hoping to somehow get a glimpse of her.  I loved visiting Windsor Castle and all of it's rich history.  Queen Elizabeth will be dearly missed by people through out the world, including myself.

And the bit with Paddington was amazing!

Thank you @icelandgirl, for your kind words, she will be greatly missed.  I just cannot get the images of the past few days out of my mind, scenes I am sure I will never forget - whether it was the mile long parade down Pall Mall or the scene where her corgis were sitting outside Windsor Castle, waiting for her return....

I was privileged enough to attend her Golden Jubilee Party (along with thousands of others, mind you!) at Buckingham Palace 20 years ago.   You could apply for free tickets, it was a sort of lottery, and ours were chosen.  All the Royal family were there, the Prime Minister, too, and - bizarrely - Mr Bean (or if you prefer, Johnny English).  It was the most incredible experience.   We were all given mini hampers for a picnic which I have kept, including a bottle of champagne which probably has passed its best by now, but I don't want to open it.

Now are thoughts and prayers are with our King, of course.  We think the Coronation will be in the Spring.  Maybe you could come over for that?!👑

Yes!  Then we'd have to figure out a way to meet up for tea!

      An early incubation and inoculation

      I forgot to add a status update on my health. I've had no issues. Been staying away from the foods I know cause GI problems: alcohol, peanuts and mayo. Stools are well-formed and of normal frequency. Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:
