Dame Kelly Holmes has recalled the moment she discovered that Queen Elizabeth had passed away this day last year.
Appearing on the Loose Women panel on Friday, Dame Kelly revealed that she was at a red carpet event when the news broke of the Queen’s death. Having heard ‘whispers’ that her Majesty was unwell, Kelly was completely shocked when she was finally told that the Queen ‘was gone’.
The athlete, 53, said that by the time she made it to the end of the red carpet, she was in floods of tears after breaking down over the sad news. Elsewhere, during the Loose Women panel chat about where they all were when they discovered the news, Kaye Adams revealed that she was out to dinner with fellow Loose lady, Nadia Sawalha.
Kaye explained that she and Nadia were sitting in a busy London restaurant surrounded by people who had not yet heard the news, and as the laughter and conversation continued among others, they felt ‘helpless’. Nadia even felt the urge to stand up and make a speech in a bid to try and let everyone know that the Queen had passed.
