I remember the day of Princess Diana's funeral, when I went for a cycle ride. I was standing at the top of Breedon Hill, looking at the view, and I noticed someone else doing the same. We briefly looked at each other, without saying a word, but we knew what each other were thinking.
Fully agree with all of the sentiment expressed here. A group of us have also arranged to meet up and spend the bank holiday hacking out and cantering across the fells. Horse riding was one of the Queen's passions, and it's our way of honouring and remembering Her Majesty.
