Prince Andrew has sailed home on the Invincible to be met by Her Majesty and 1500 flag wavers. Reminiscent of the return of [Sir Francis] Drake in the 1580s.
The Princess of Wales is to represent the Queen at the state funeral in Monaco tomorrow. They are now saying that Princess Grace suffered a stroke before crashing her car, and that she was on a life support machine until nothing more could be done. Prince Rainier had the agonising experience of having to give permission for the life support machine to be switched off.
Dad and Mum had lunch at the Fox and Hounds yesterday with Jim and Margaret. Hilda and Tony were supposed to be there too. Mabel had a good night, and brought a coffee maker.
TV abysmal. Bed early.
