Queen Elizabeth 'on good form' and 'perky' in final days
msn.comQueen Elizabeth was “on good form” and “perky” in her final days. The 96-year-old monarch passed away peacefully at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on September 8 and just days before her death, she hosted her Bowes-Lyons cousins for a shooting party.
The Queen also enjoyed watching BBC weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker's weather forecasts, with a source telling the Daily Mail newspaper: "It was like a bit of a crush; she always wanted to watch the forecasts when he was on.
She was amused hearing the cadences when his name was read out but she loved watching him, too. " The Moderator of the Church of Scotland, the Rt Rev Dr Iain Greenshields, dined with her just days before her death and said she was "in good spirits", "engaging" company and "absolutely on the ball".
He added: "She was talking about her past, her love for Balmoral, her father, her mother, Prince Philip, horses, very much engaged with what was happening in the church and what was happening in the nation, too. "Her health was frail, we knew that, but when I left her on Sunday she was very positive, and I'm just finding it very hard to believe that in those few days things had changed so much. " She also spoke via telephone with her horse trainer Clive Cox about the prospects of her filly Love Affairs.
