It was a honour to be guest of my friend and co author @angburger27 in receiving her MBE from King Charles today for her contribution to cultural history. Angie is hard working and talented historian and hopefully this will be start of more recognition.

Interesting contrast from @ppvernon He says Black Britain esp the first post-Windrush generation felt a particular link to the Queen that put her beyond criticism for many. The challenge for King Charles of needing to build relationships and earn respect https://t.co/BtgN5W1RhL

[Miranda Grell @MirandaGrell]

"To many Black Britons, the Queen could do no wrong. King Charles must earn that respect".

Good article from my friend @ppvernon encapsulating how many people feel.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II.
