Q. How many children do you have SmileyRose?
A. I have just two grown-up daughters. Neither are married, nor do they have children of their own, therefore I am not a grandparent yet!

Q. How do you want to retire?
A. I would like to retire gracefully. I do not want a huge fuss. I would just like to say “See you all and please take good care of yourselves”…..then I would like to sail off into the sunset.
I want to be like Nanny McPhee, she said: “There is something you should understand about the way I work. When you need me but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me but no longer need me, then I have to go.“
I loved the film, Nanny McPhee. Of course, the baby was named Agnes, which is my middle name. I was given the same name as my grandmother because I was her eldest grandchild. My grandmother was named Dorothy Agnes, my Name is Frances Agnes. She was the only grandparent I ever knew. -
Hehe I enjoyed singing this song 🙂

I’ve always been a huge fan of The Carpenters. I often used to song along to their songs. 😀”I Need To Be In Love”

Such a lovely evening at the Tavan. The food was very delicious. Afterwards, we visited Italian friends. They were particularly happy because Italy had just won the UEFA Nations League football match 2-1

How wonderful to see the Royal Family at the Trooping the Colour. A huge event for the British, to feel proud of. The day is to mark the King’s official birthday.
It was lovely to see Princess Kate and The King on the balcony, especially after what they have both been through recently.
Trooping the Colour is a ceremonial military parade in the United Kingdom that marks the official birthday of the British Sovereign. Held annually in June on Horse Guards Parade in London, it features the regiments of the British and Commonwealth armies.
Here are the key elements of the ceremony:
- Historical Significance: The tradition dates back to at least the 17th century. “Trooping the Colour” refers to the practice of regiments parading their flags (“colours”) so soldiers could recognize them in battle.
- Participants: The parade involves over 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians. The Household Division, comprising the Foot Guards and the Household Cavalry, plays a central role.
- The Ceremony:
- The parade begins with the regiments marching onto Horse Guards Parade.
- The Colour (regimental flag) is then “trooped” through the ranks.
- The King (or Queen) arrives and takes the salute from the troops.
- Royal Presence: The monarch inspects the troops from a carriage or horseback. Other members of the Royal Family also attend, often riding in carriages.
- Flypast: The event concludes with a flypast by the Royal Air Force, watched by the Royal Family from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
- Public and Military Spectacle: The event is a significant public spectacle and a major ceremonial occasion for the British Army, emphasizing discipline, precision, and military tradition.
Trooping the Colour is not only a display of military prowess but also a celebration of the monarchy’s role in the UK’s history and culture.
