Following the death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, on the radio, an interviewee called the late queen 'my mum'. This coincided with the sudden ubiquity of portraits of a young queen on the streets in the country. French philosopher Roland Barthes wrote in his book Camera Lucida that he had gone through photographs of his mother after her death to 'find' her in a photograph shot before he had been born. In a way, members of the public responded to the death of the queen similarly: posting portraits of a young queen here and there, which had probably been pictured before they had been born.
