Death of Queen Elizabeth 1 24 March

Today is the anniversary of the Death of Queen Elizabeth 1. who, in 1603 ‘mildly like a lamb, easily like a ripe apple from the tree’. passed away. The crown passed to the Protestant King James VI of Scotland who became King James I of England. Spookily, only 350 years later in 1953, Her Majesty Queen Mary, while sleeping peacefully, died at twenty minutes past ten o’clock."
