Yes, I know Shakespere's birthplace!  Hello all my name is Lorraine.  Been fascinated by Elizabeth I for many years – about 30 to be exact!  I also did O'Level history on Elizabeth and that is when I became even more entrenched about the Tudors.  

Last few years though I haven't really given Elizabeth much room in my head.  Then on Friday night (just gone) I had the most vivid of dreams.  Now my dreams have a bit of a habit coming true and nailing things on the head, but even for me this was beyond all comprehension.  I dreamt I was in Westminster Abbey, I was stood up near the alter to the right side of me I looked and saw a young Pricess Elizabeth being crowned Queen, I saw the crown being placed upon her head, the ointment, the placing of the orb in her hand and her also having a ring on her finger.  I recall I was standing wearing a very heavy brocaded dress, I knew there was a chain around my neck.  I recall the church being mainly of men in finery and wearing doublets with velvet jackets, but that was brief, I was just mesmerised by seeing Elizabeth and watching her being crowned.  Unbelievable really.  So here I am back full circle getting interested in Elizabeth again.

Ultimately that means of course Anne Boleyn who was Elizabeth's mother.  Yet I don't feel I know Anne like I feel I know Elizabeth, yet Anne is instrinsically a part of Elizabeth.  Yes I do think she should be pardoned.  Do I think her body should be moved – I don't know I shall sit out on the fence if you don't mind on that.
