RIP, I'm actually quite emotional, she died this morning

Me to. She served the country right until the end.

RIP

A sad day for sure -
RIP

Feeling quite sad and shocked as she’s been there my entire life and completely frames my perception of what the monarchy is … What a time of great transition we are in!

 

[mowlas]

Above all the trappings she was a great leader, an absolute rock for the nation and, above all, an extraordinary human being. May she rest in peace. Feeling very sad.

 

[outrun]

Sad times. We will never see her likes again.

 

[allandwf]

End of an era.

 

[lifes2short]

to the very end she had a sense of duty in having to meet Boris and Liz and just sums up her un-floundering service to the nation and the people, truly the end of an era

My father is astonished that he has outlived her. He’s 6 weeks older than the Queen. He has been telling me about being 2ft from the Queen at a Young Farmers conference at Westminster Hall. She was still a princess then and gave a speech. He said he parked his Vanguard right outside the Houses of Parliament that day.

 

[Oneball]

Very sad, not many 96 year olds still working at the very end.

Changing of the guard in so many ways, a true servant to her country and her role we will never see another - RIP

 

[Wack61]

A sad day for sure

A story I read about her sense of humour
She was out riding at Balmoral with her security officer when they came across an American couple out walking

The Americans asked her if the castle was where the Queen lives

She replied, yes I think it is

Gee have you ever met her

She replied no , pointed at the security officer , but he has

RIP

It's gonna seem very strange without her, and I think the nation will suffer because of her loss.

A little sad in our house tonight now, and even my 5 Yr old daughter just said "daddy, does that say Queen Elizabeth has died on the TV ?"

 

[midlifecrisis]

I suggest the mods change the name of the thread to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Second 1926-2022.

 

[PhillV8S]

I have to agree she was a constant in all our lives and always respected her sense of duty and all she did for us to the very end. A great lady who will leave a big hole in our social fabric. I guess it was a blessing the end came so quick and in her beloved Balmoral. RiP.
Charles has some very large shoes to fill.

 

[ScaldedCat]

Yes, a truly great lady. May she rest in peace.
Much sadness in our house tonight.

 

[Wack61]

I think behind closed doors they had a laugh like the rest of us

The day Philip dressed as a guard , you can tell that laughter is genuine

[RoaryRati]

Yes RIP - and a bit of another shock having just got back from a Celebration of Life for a 94 year old who passed quite suddenly.

 

[conaero]

Announced by the captain during our flight, shared the experience with maybe 300 people in this tin can, a moment I will always remember.

A sad day for us all, thank you Ma’am
