Journalist Pádraig Belton posted an “flashback” photo of Queen Elizabeth and asserted, “God save her.”
“Just a flashback to when Queen Elizabeth became the first UK monarch in 100 years to visit Ireland, laid a wreath in the Garden of Remembrance, wore green, visited Croke Park, chatted with fishmongers, spoke Irish,” Belton said. “Her very best ever state visit, said Mary McAleese. God save her.”
