Never been a monarchist myself, but I've always been quite happy to abide with the definite fact that most people in this country are. I still see this as a very sad day. She has been Head of State all my life and will leave an un-fillable void. Amazingly she has kept, in this modern day, an institution alive which would have perished in lesser hands.
I was born with a king as monarch it now looks certain i will die with a king as monarch, up to maybe 6 month ago i wouldnt have put money on it. I thought she would have lasted as her mother did. Not a royalist but sad all the same.
Not a monarchist myself but they certainly broke the mould with her. RIP your Majesty and thank you for 70 years of magnificent service.
Yeah I agree. Don’t think there’ll ever be another monarch like her. Definitely won’t be one to reign as long
Godspeed Your Majesty. You have served your country well, with grace, compassion and the utmost dignity. Absolutely gutted.
I’m a 50 yr old bloke, can’t believe how up set I am with this news. She always reminds me of my mother, R.I.P
Great innings from her majesty, absolutely impeccable service to the Country. RIP. I hope the family made it to see her while she was still with us but I do fear she had already passed this afternoon listening to the media.
Think a lot of us feel the same fella. I’m 47 and she is the only monarch I’ve known in my lifetime, my mother is not yet 70 so she has literally spanned two generations of my family to date from birth….a truly remarkable achievement and one which is never like to be repeated I would have thought. A sad day for our nation.
God bless Queen Elizabeth the Second. I've tried to do a post here for almost an hour, but I just can't find the words. Your though have done it all for me.
BoJo has summed it up quite eloquently and perfectly for me in his statement, lengthy as it is…it’s bang on. A truly remarkable woman who gave her life to serve her country and us all. It’s mind boggling and frightening thinking about how much will have to change. National anthem, stamps, coins, banknotes probably just the tip of the iceberg. It really is a truly sad day.
She's certainly been great herself as Queen. However, can we now perhaps get rid of the monarchy, before the rest of them muck it up?
