God save the Queen, Long live the King.

[Dave Ward]

A new Era, for the majority of us who have never known another Monarch. A lifetime of service to the nation has finally come to an end
God Save the King

God save the King

My partner, who served in the RAF in the 'eighties, was almost in tears when I told him, and then couldn't explain just why
I said 'Oaths have meaning '

I feel so sad hearing this news. It is the end of an era. I am proud to say that I served in her armed forces for many years but that was a drop in the ocean compared to her life of total dedication and service to the country and Commonwealth.

Rest in peace, Your Majesty. Long live King Charles III.

It's a truly sad day, not only for England, but the whole world too. I don't think people can realize or fathom what she has seen, lived through and done, in her lifetime before and during her reign as Queen, myself included. Rest in peace your Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II....

[spanner570]

...a sad day indeed. We've not only lost our Queen, but a mighty fine lady too!

[Tworrs]

RIP Ma'am, God save the King.

[minitnkr]

A day of sadness to be sure. A remarkable woman, her life of service is an example for all.

RIP Her Majesty

R.I.P Your Majesty, thank you for your amazing service.

"I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong."

Her Majesty The Queen

Long live the King

[JayCee]

I fully agree with all the previous sentiments. It just remains to say the Royal Salute I remember as a child, GOD SAVE THE KING.

I just assumed she would live forever, like a fairy tale, but alas not to be. I knew it wasnt going to end good when they said 'she is under medical supervision but comfortable', as my wife works for a Hospice.
Wont ever be the same, no disrespect to Charles

[colin m]

I'm not being disrespectful when I say this, but she looked like so many people's favorite grandmother, that smile of hers is something I'll never forget.
I never met her, but I just know she was a lovely person. R.I.P.
