Guests stepped out of the elevator to have their pictures taken in front of the centenary façade and then walked ...

“KING CHARLES lll” – by Des Kelly So now, after 70 years and the longest ‘Reign’ in history of the late, great, Majesty, Queen Elizabeth ll, e’Lanka is proud to proclaim our new King Charles lll, with the hope that he will carry out his Royal duties, as his Mother would want him to. If ever the British Royal Family needed an expert tutor, there she was!. Queen Elizabeth ll was indeed a walking enclyopedia on all matters Royal. She was, without a doubt, the greatest ruling Monarch in history, following the also great Queen Victoria, Empress of India and the Commonwealth of that particular era. I have always been very interested in British History, having owned and read several books on the subject. Like everything in life, there are the good and the bad, to consider. Where England has boasted some Excellent Kings & Queens, there have also been ...

“A tribute in poetry” – by Des Kelly Much has been said/written recently, regards the passing of our longest reigning Monarch of all time, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, and, in passing, I noticed this sad, but relevant tribute to her. However, this beautiful ‘piece’ was sent to me by our good friend Charles Schokman, and I think it should be published in it’s entirety for e’Lanka. Please read it folks, it’s a beautiful tribute to a beautiful person. May she now rest in peace. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. Vale—Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth11 on 8.9.2022 Phillip came to me today, and said it was time to go. I looked at him and smiled, as I whispered that “I know” I then turned and looked behind me, and saw I was asleep. All my Family were around me, and I could hear them weep. I gently touched each shoulder, with ...

“PRECIOUS MEMORIES” – by Des Kelly I remember her so well. It was 1954, one day prior to her 28th birthday, when the most beautiful Queen of the Commonwealth of Nations set foot in Ceylon, with her Prince Consort, Phillip, to review her “troops” before heading on to Aden. Being in The Royal Ceylon Navy at the time, I was lucky enough to get just a glimpse of one of the most beautiful women on Earth, (and she was, believe me), being 18 years old, and in HER ‘Senior Royal Service’, I, like so many others in the Navy, could not take our eyes off her. Queen Elizabeth ll was a veritable picture, outside a golden frame. I was PROUD of her then, going on, to be prouder still, of this very young Queen, going on & on through life, keeping the promise she made to her people, come what ...

A KELLY-KLASSIC – I’ll break out again, tonight – by Des Kelly My “Cover” of a song about a prisoner who feels that he should be home again, tonight, written by Whitey Shafer and A.L. (Doodle) Owens, The late, great, Merle Haggard turned it into a hit, & hopefully, our e’Lanka members will enjoy my version, together with self-backing on my Technics keyboard. Its a great song, well suited to “the Hag”, who, in real life, actually broke out of various prisons about 17 times, before he recorded the song. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. ...

“Willie Nelson – It’s Hard to Be Humble” – by Des Kelly Another Kelly-Klassic. Willie Nelson (will he or won’t he)?, one of the last remaining Country Greats, sings a song that proves he is not only good at what he does, he provides a much needed chuckle from those who are backing him, as he sings & plays his old, beat-up acoustic guitar which he named Trigger, and stores, in a well guarded bank, because, believe it or not, it was bought in 1969 for $450, but is presently worth close to $10.000, being the personal property of the great Willie Nelson, himself. Willie Nelson is the only Vocalist I know, that can sing, completely out of musical cadence, and yet correct this, to finish his song in perfect rhythm. He is also a superb guutarist, and I feel sure that our e’Lanka members will love this one. He ...
