Tim Kinsella: What I remember about meeting Queen Elizabeth in 1994
The Queen was talking to a trainer of her horse in the upcoming race. She was not interested in talking with him. He was surprised by her presence. He considers the Queen's reign a source of inspiration for many people. His feelings about the Royal Family are nuanced. The Queen took the throne with a profound sense of duty, honor and service. TV shows and books have been made about her. Her offspring and in-laws have helped to shape our culture. They are the inspiration. For him, the focus is on the efforts of a single woman to lead a commonwealth of nations.
