Queen Elizabeth II

She genuinely did create a ripple here. The significance of her visit and her actions and speeches was not wasted on the general
public.

I think she impressed all but the insignificant few who will never progress.

Honestly. I like the rest of the Republic am not into monarchy but I actually got slightly emotional watching her speech in Dublin Castle. Over here it is being described as probably the most important and impressive speeches of her reign. I don’t know if it would be viewed that way universally but that’s how it was perceived here.

She did as much to change minds over here as any other British diplomat I can think of.

Interesting that you should say that. Victoria's one visit to Ireland was hugely popular, she was acclaimed in the streets. Despite the fact that the Famine was within living memory.

Yes, not sure why some people keep bringing up Liverpool but there is a separate thread for that.

It’s pretty obvious why, unless you’re not actually aware.. but I agree they can be slated in their own thread.

I think many on here are surprised with their feelings on this and its nice that they admit it..
Me for one.

Me being another mate, neither here nor there with much of the monarchy, wouldn’t say I’m particularly patriotic anyway (yet I am about being a Mancunian) but Queen Elizabeth II I had a real genuine affection and respect for.

When I saw the footage of her the other day I genuinely feared the worst over the coming days, I was actually shocked by how sad I was about seeing her that way, in many ways, as daft as it sounds, I think I always saw her as indestructible, she’s been an absolutely incredible ruler.

R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II .
