R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II

[Far Rider]

Sad news from across the pond.

Rest In Power, Your Grace.

Yes what a remarkable lady!

I’d just read that. Classy lady. Really thought she was on her way to out live Charles.

When my wife and I heard that the Royals were on flights out to Scotland, we assumed things were getting close for the Queen.

I'm not much to follow the Monarchy but I feel pretty sad to see this day. I knew I would see it sometime in my life but didn't expect today. Rest in Power Your Grace.

I've always respected her. I feel badly that she had to live out her remaining days with the Royal Family in a bit of chaos, what with Harry, Meghan, and Prince Andrew.

She deserved better.

Condolences to our UK members.

Yeah one could only have hoped...

It’s probably wrong of me….. but I chuckled at that one.

She had one helluva run, longest reigning British monarch and 2nd longest of any sovereign monarch: that is an amazing feat. She had ruled longer than most of us have been walking this Earth and her reign was an institution we all knew. It's going to be very odd not seeing her and not referring to "The Queen". I hope King Charles III carries on a respectful legacy like she did, but it won't even come close honestly.

As a humble and contrite, rebellious ingrate to the crown ( aka all typical Americans by our very existence), I give nothing but the highest respect to her and her reign. Rest In Power

She was the only Queen I’ve ever known. A class act all the way.

Not sure what to make of King Charles now, I thought she was going to out live him.

Friends of ours are over in England for the Cricket matches, which have now all been canceled.

I imagine this will affect a lot of things over there, sorting out the next plan of action, organizing the funeral and procession ( which will be quite frankly, unparalleled) and then setting up the subsequent coronation of Charles ( though he ascended the throne immediately upon her passing, the formal ceremony will be held back quite some time). This is going to be kinda chaotic over there really.

My folks literally just got back from London a week ago actually

R.I.P.

I wonder if someone shouted, "The queen is dead! Long live the queen!"

Or is that only in movies?

Anyway, RIP

Most Americans scoff at the idea of a monarch, but you have to respect the Brits willing to stand in line 20 hours to pay their respects. To me, that's totally amazing.

 

[Sapient]

She was a true woman of honor. RIP.

Monday is officially bank holiday to mark Queens funeral..

Many services are cancelled, schools are off, to pay respect to the queen.

I felt sad about her passing. She was proper a thrasher !!!!

Rip queen

I personally wouldn't give any head of state more than the tip of my hat in passing. I have a very neutral feeling about politicians and royalty. May God bless them, but i felt more loss when EVH passed.
