The mourning, the sense of loss, the sadness and the appreciative 'thank you' in millions of hearts were spontaneous - not orchestrated and managed in a Chinese or North Korean manner.

Nonsense.

The spontaneous outpouring of grief and sadness , the appreciation and gratitude for her service, the thank you for her decency, sense of duty - they all mark the recognition of her extraordinary public presence and the loss millions felt in their hearts.

People felt it from republican France to Britain and Australia. There will be nothing like this again for a long time, not when Keating or Howard passes. Or Charles, Biden, Obama, Xi Jin Ping, Boys Kim or Assad or indeed anyone else now left living.

They tried to add 'the good' to her father's name after he died.

'George the good' - How did that work out?

Victoria is not known as the great and an age was named after her.

But 'Great' means something else and a constitutional monarch is unable to do anything great. Charles will do great job if he shuts up, salutes and doesn't get cranky at leaking pens.
