Queen now 'welcome at D-Day service'

[Jordy]

I agree with what's in bold below. She's representing the people who risked their lives for us, but she sat on the throne while it was happening.

No it was her father King George VI who was King during World War II. On reflection of my previous post I may of been a bit harsh. She may not of been a wartime leader like her Father or Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, Eisenhouser etc but she did experience World War II. For example she came close to being bombed in Buckingham Palace, participated in the morale building of the Royal Family and at the end of the War saw the troops coming home and joined in the celebrations. And then finally when she became head of state she witnessed the breakup of the empire as a result of World War II.
