    Obama himself gave the Queen a great present. Her Majesty collected things of her father, who died very young and whom she loved very much. Obama found letters of him in the White House archives written to Roosevelt during WW2. He gave them to her. I read somewhere that when he did this and she saw her fathers handwriting she kept silent for quit a bit, and then she said: "We are very grateful for this". Oh my - how touching.

      My grandmother was the same age as the Queen and to her dying day her father was always 'daddy'. I know some have a poor relationship with their parents and I grieve for them because that relationship is irreplaceable. I can imagine that was quite special for Her Majesty.

    My favourite Barack Obama and Elizabeth II moment is when he gave a toast at this big banquet unintentionally initiating the band to play national anthem. He didn’t know he had to be silent for the anthem and kept giving his speech in honour of the Queen, only realising his mistake when he finished. It actually complimented the speech really well, and when the band finished the Queen raised her glass in thanks and gave him a big smile. 😊

      There was never any doubt that Her Majesty enjoyed the company of the Obamas. We saw her - even at a distance - in the presence of countless heads of state from the entire globe. And it was always possible, despite her adhering to convention and protocol to the letter with everyone, just whom she was happiest being around. She clearly adored the Obama family (I've never heard of other children getting to effectively play in the state coach!) - I think it's because as parents, she could recognise the devotion to their children as she was devoted to hers. As you say, #45 was nothing like that!
      President Obama is the President Kennedy of our generation. We looked to him to make things better and he certainly improved relations between the countries. He's still the most popular president you've had since Kennedy - possibly more so! We miss him too!

    Yes, the perfect summary of a genuine human being, born to her unexpected role as Queen, who retained her promise of duty every day for a lifetime of service with a super human diligence. She had a keen sense of who was behind her giving her the strength and determination along with a sense of wonder and joy. Loved my Queen with all my heart and love President Obama for the embodiment of manhood he represents to this day.

      @@MarkHawkins-ju7xc Good morning Mark, I’m an old lady living in a remote part of south western England next door to my daughter. My dog and I walk the hills, valleys, river banks and seashore of this area every day. A quiet gentle life after a busy time living at home and away. I read President Obamas books long before he became President so was not surprised to find his public speeches set so many Americans on fire for a different way of life. Civility and family life, the value of multi cultural heredity, as experienced by so many around the world and throughout history, became more understood. Those values my Queen valued. We are, as a world, the product of history. We learn from history, if we are wise.

      Queen Elizabeth II was not born to the role she carried so well for 70 years. Her father King George VI was the spare to the heir. King Edward’s abdication put Queen Elizabeth in the direct line of succession. She was the finest example of a woman and a leader but, she was not born to be Queen.
