Exactly 2 weeks ago, and I just made it just in time. My Dad in this case. We're currently planning his funeral, and I was wondering about how he'd feel about his event being overshadowed by Her Majesty passing. He'd probably think she timed it deliberately just to spite him. He'll be winking though, just as ever.
