Howard Jacobson reflects on his experience of the life and reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Novelist Howard Jacobson is the latest of eight major British writers to reflection on their experience of, and relation , the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

He writes of his youthful awareness of the Queen as seen from a Mancunian and Jewish perspective, and he recalls the Jewish heritage of much of the language of her coronation, and how that mattered to a young northern boy. And he talks about the Queen's negotiation with the limelight that she was obliged to occupy for so many years.
