THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN

THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN

 

They called her Elizabeth

The jewel in the crown

She outshone rubies and diamonds 

In her coronation gown

Enriching the common wealth

She glittered on the world stage

A wife, a mother, our monarch and queen

The royal gem of our age

(Michael Charles Ashby, Sidmouth)

In remembrance of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II  1926-2022
