My daughter’s sixth form college, inevitably, is closed for the day. Last week however, she was perturbed to rock up at 9am on Monday morning to be informed that her one-on-one tutorial had been cancelled summarily “because of the current sad events”. She was not happy, I can tell you. We tried to work out just how distraught by the death of a 96-year-old monarch five days earlier did a sixth-form teacher really have to be in order to require the morning off work.
If they were, however, and we received a cursory appointment cancellation text for this morning - as is the NHS way these days - I would be livid. Anyone who has even nursed or supported a terminally-ill person knows that Bank Holidays and weekends mean nothing; every day is like another, and another one closer to the inevitable.
The church service was an hour long, filled with poignant readings and performances from her family members. The wake afterwards was a life-affirming event, bringing together all the generations in a welcoming hotel.
