The Court had been very much looking forward to receiving a local singer, a lady who has enjoyed considerable success during her career. The mood of the day, however, had changed progressively as the Nation was waiting anxiously to hear about HRH Queen Elizabeth II, as her health had been declining over the last few hours.
It was just as Rachel More was about to begin her repertoire, at 6.30pm, when the announcement came from Buckingham Palace that Her Majesty had passed away. In a moment of reflection, we paid our respects to our late, Great Queen, giving thanks for her wonderful 70 years of Reign and it was decided that we would celebrate her life, her legacy, by going ahead with the evening. We were so glad to have made that decision.
Rachel sang most beautifully, it was a pleasure just to sit back and listen to her voice. The choice of songs that she made was perfect, considering the very poignant time that we were experiencing. The Owners were able to contemplate what our Nation was about to experience and witness, the historical end of an era, taking stock of the many memories that they had of Her Majesty. The tone of the evening was kept most respectful and many felt grateful to enjoy the musicality of Rachel’s voice… soothing and pitch perfect. We thank Rachel for making the evening memorable.
With thanks to Suzie and Nicola for ensuring that the evening went as well as could be expected.
The Staff at Brompton wish to take this opportunity to convey our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family. May HRH Queen Elizabeth II now Rest in Peace.
