Barati Palshigar
A British writer who describes how some people across the Continent took shelter in ancient castles. The castles’ high walls and other fortifications, which had been built for protection against invaders in medieval times, proved to be excellent protection against the zombies since they could not climb. Forbes himself took shelter in Windsor Castle, which the Queen had opened up to the public. Forbes speaks reverently of the Queen’s decision to stay in Windsor Castle and serve her people.

What did she say?
“The highest of distinctions is service to others.” […] Their task, their mandate, is to personify all that is great in our national spirit. They must forever be an example to the rest of us, the strongest, and bravest, and absolute best of us.
