“Can you keep me alive for that”

“Because next year is my Platinum Jubilee year and I’d quite like to have seen that,” Queen Elizabeth continued, asking the doctors if they could help her to fulfill her last request: Being with the public at the Platinum Jubilee, which was just months away.”

“Can you keep me alive for that?” Burrell claimed Queen Elizabeth asked.

He explained: “”She endured blood transfusions and scrupulously followed doctors’ orders, giving up her much-loved gin and tonics, gin and Dubonnets and martinis, and instead having apple juice (and tomato juice on a Sunday as a treat) to help extend her life… They kept her alive to witness this landmark (Platinum Jubilee) in her reign, but she knew through it all that she was dying.”

Queen Elizabeth was truly a remarkable person and monarch. Please share this article on Facebook with friends and family and share us your best memory of her in the comment section.
