Silvia cried the hole time!
ReplyDeleteCan’t blame her any.
DeleteDid she? A soft heart. This sort of violence is so terrifying, the deaths so unnecessary and shocking. It is extraordinarily sad that similar events have become so frequent in the USA that through media there has been some normalisation and therefore a possibility in others’ minds. Absolutely inhuman.
DeleteSo glad the Royal couple were in attendance. My most sincere condolences to the families. Prayers to the victims. 🙏
ReplyDeleteVery caring sovereign. The queens black coat is a perfect fit.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sad, tragic event--and the pain is etched on Queen Silvia's face. Prayers for the victims , their families, and other loved ones.
