At any rate, I have a large collection of commemoratives and portraits of Queen Elizabeth and other royals of course. I am very fortunate to own two items signed by the Queen and Philip, their 1955 and 1965 Christmas cards. The 1965 card is quite special as she signed it "Lilibet", so we know this card was sent to someone VERY close and special to Her Majesty to be signed in such a manner. Last night I took the 1955 card off the wall and put it next to me and stared at it until I fell asleep......It's just hard to grasp we no longer have "our Queen".
