"Quietly grim" is just right. The radio playing all sad songs, the photos of the Queen everywhere, it's been fairly inescapable. Interesting to read about your grandmother, and your saying she was defined by the times she lived in. The Queen's death made me think of my dad, and a very similar feeling - and another real step away from the 20th century.
