People now who are over 60 years old have only ever known her as head of state and all the time she's been gracious, steadfast, dutiful, good humoured etc etc in her role. Compare that to our last few PMs who have all been forced to quit in disarray after only a few years. She's a million times more popular than any of our recent leaders so I'm not sorry that she was our head of state and not them.

I get that, most of our leaders were awful too, I suppose my point is how could people ever have a negative opinion of her or any opinion at all , if they never really knew her or what her actual opinions were on any of the real big issues of the last 70 years?
