Nursery gets letter from Queen Elizabeth II day before her death
"The Queen was glad to hear from you and, although unable to reply to you personally, Her Majesty was pleased to hear of the party you were planning to celebrate this special event," the note said.
"Her Majesty hopes you all had a very happy time at the festivities and I am to thank you again for your messages of good wishes to the Queen."Ms Rowles said: "It just gives us a happy memory in what is obviously a very sad time. And makes it personal to us.In their letters to the Queen the children told her they were going to celebrate with a tea party and wished the 96-year-old well.
"They were telling her about their tea party they were going to be having to celebrate and just wishing her well, hoping she had a good time on her celebrations," Ms Rowles added.The children were amazed when they received a reply from Balmoral thanking them for getting in touch"It's been stored safely and ready to get a nice frame to be displayed in the nursery, pride of place," said Ms Rowles.
The nursery owner said death could be a difficult topic to discuss with children but they have been trying to help them understand what has happened."But to be able to link it now to this happy memory that we've got can make it slightly easier."
