Dr. Trudy Lin, of Adelaide, Australia is one of 10 Australians invited to Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.
"It means so much," Dr. Lin gushed."I don't know if there's any words that can adequately describe just how humbling and how much of an honor it is to be here, especially because the Queen was such a personal role model for me, because she was such a great example of commitment to the community and service and dedication over so many decades of her life, starting from a really young age, all the way until her last days.
"Not only does oral health affect people's quality of life, but also the length of their life, because Australians with an intellectual disability -- they die 20 years younger than the general population," Dr. Lin explained."And the leading cause of their premature death is a lung disease caused by inhaling dental plaque."
Dr. Lin, who was named 2022's South Australia's Young Australian of the Year, told ET that she got the invite to the Queen's funeral following a conference in Paris. She admittedly questioned if the invite was real before accepting, adding that after processing it a bit, she marveled at the magnitude of the honor, and the Queen's inclusion of everyday Australians in her funeral proceedings.
