Queen Elizabeth II

Iconic photo. Her and Roy Paul there. And coming up the steps to the royal box is Bert, whose meeting with her that day
summed up a special time in our history with its memories of a war in which they served on opposite sides and a promise of a future in which we might all live in peace.
 
What a surprise there’s a club conspicuous by it’s lack of a condolences tweet, surely they will?…
 
She's not just some celebrity, a music star, a movie star, a sporting legend. I'm never bothered by those celebrity deaths, she was our Queen, the leader of our country, for 70 years. She has seen (and overseen) the world change immeasurably. I'm gutted.
 
I’m no royalist but feel sad the image that sticks with me is a heartbroken wife who had to sit on her own away from her family when her husband died, that brought home to me she’s the Queen but today she’s a grieving wife like lots of others when co vid was rife. Rip
Agreed. I am a republican but it's sad. Personal grief transcends opinion on institution.
 
New money definitely. New stamps definitely. New anthem? Just a change of wording.


R.I.P

Whilst I don't agree with the notion of the royal family I do understand the importance of what has happened. She has devoted her life to this country with dignity. Sure the older generation will feel this more, my missus is in bits, but to give your life up, like Phillip did, to serve a country for 70 years demands respect from all people.

I'm off to raise a glass.
Fair play Bimbo and well said shame Sebastian blue can't give it a rest.
