King Charles III is my third monarch too. There are plenty of us around. RIP Queen Elizabeth II - we'll never see her like again.

It's a sad day.
I'm no Royalist but respected the Queen. My lifelong Labour-voting Nana from the South Yorkshire coalfields loved her very much. I must have been 5 or 6 and will never forget when she showed me a piece of China with a picture of the Queen on it and how deeply she expressed her love for the Queen.
When racists were more emboldened to spout their filth, the Queen remained constantly inclusive and that helped shut racists up for a little while at least. As a person of mixed race I have always appreciated that.
Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth.

Rest in peace, after losing both Grandparents last year within a day of each other I can only hope she is also now at peace with her beloved Husband, I've always seen her as a great figurehead of Our Country, it really is quite surreal for her to be gone, it feels like everything has changed over the last few Years and I think it's just getting older and realising nothing lasts forever, you don't really think about it when you are younger.

Sounds odd when you hear it, I've only ever known the Queen. You're right though, can't imagine there will ever be anyone like her again.King Charles III is my third monarch too. There are plenty of us around. RIP Queen Elizabeth II - we'll never see her like again.

Worth saying the reaction from the French has been equally sympathetic. Not only have we lost our queen, we have lost the worlds greatest diplomat today.
I’m not particularly a royalist but I really believe that she has done more for our country, and cared more deeply for all the people within it, than any elected politician during her reign. I doubt we’ll ever get as lucky again.
God bless her.

Can’t agree on Johnson.Fucking hell, that's some statement from Boris?
Starmer and him have put Truss to shame.
He is, was and always will be a self-serving narcissistic tw*t of the highest order.
Trying to steal the limelight from people who actually have an official responsibility to comment today.
Fuc* him and his Greek Phrasebook
agree on Starmer, really well chosen words
