discussion God save the Queen, Long live the King.

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....

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

RIP Ma'am, God save the King.

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

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

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.

Rest in peace boss.

God save the King.

My heartfelt condolences to all UK and Commonwealth people here in the forum.
The affection to your Queen you are showing here is touching.
Queen Elizabeth II will be missed outside UK too; She was a deeply respected monarch and an inspiring person for many women and men.
A small, almost personal (at that time I wasn't existing yet) family story: She was visiting my hometown in 1961, the same day my parents got married and that was the reason why the luxury car they hired for their wedding was available only to the bride for her arrival to the church; at the end of the ceremony they had to leave on a "normal" car as the "limo" was requested for the Queen's visit (for one of the many VIPs attending the event, not for Her, of course).

She was the only boss I've ever had that was an honour and a privilege to work for... Rest In Peace Ma'am, long live the king..

As has been said, a sad occasion and the end of an era. As one of those born after she became Queen she has been a constant throughout my life and that presence will be missed.

It is awful news.

Watching the speeches yesterday in the House of Commons, Boris made his best ever speech in which he described Her Majesty as ‘Elizabeth the Great’. I really hope that catches on as a lasting tribute to her life of duty.

Rest in Peace Your Majesty
Long Live the Kjng
