Tribute To The Queen

The world in mourning after Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday 8th September and I want to post my own tribute to  her. It will just be a short one.  Photo from Instagram @theroyalfamily "I declare before you all that my life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong."  Princess Elizabeth said this in the speech she gave on her 21st birthday in 1947 and she definitely stayed true to those words, from the day of her coronation as Queen in 1953 right up to this year.

As well as her dedication to duty, the unconditional love for her family was so lovely and inspiring to see. The Royal Family have experienced their share of tragedy, loss and scandal and have had many happy and fun moments together. No matter what each of them we...

Justin Bieber diagnosed with rare disorder

Justin Bieber has been diagnosed with a rare disorder which has paralysed half his face. The 28-year-old singer revealed the news to his fans in an emotional video posted to Instagram. “I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on. Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is from this virus that attacks the nerves in my ear and my facial nerves and has cased my face to have paralysis,” he explained. Ramsay Hunt syndrome is marked by a painful rash around the ear, on the face or on the mouth. It manifests when the varicella-zoster virus infects a nerve in the head, sometimes causing paralysis. “As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face.

This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this ...
