Alan Turing was not alone in cracking the enigma. The Poles and Czechs actually had done much work on solving the code but turned it over to the Brits when they were invaded by the Nazis. There were thousands of people who worked on solving the code. Turing was head of Bletchley Park where approx. 10,000 people worked and 8,000 of those were women. It was certainly tragic what happened to him. I'm glad he got the recognition that he deserved but I doubt the Queen was forced to do anything. Most countries have "stains" of some kind. Why try and take away the beauty and pageantry of the Queen's funeral and all of her positive accomplishments by bringing this up? She was an amazing woman.
