A little earlier we heard from royal biographer Robert Hardman, author of Queen of Our Times.

Today's news reminds us of Queen's importance, says royal biographerToday’s news reminds us of Queen’s importance, says royal biographer

He says today’s news about the Queen’s health has reminded us of her importance to the country and our affection for her.

“She is unlike any other monarch in our history – she’s our longest-lived, longest-serving, longest-reigning monarch,” he tells BBC 5 Live.

He adds that her sense of public duty pre-dated her accession to the throne in 1952.

“She just stands for this constancy, this sense of permanence and stability.

“And I think over the years people have probably taken her for granted often.

“Suddenly, at times like this, we all realise… how precious she is.”
