God bless her

This makes me sad. I mean, yeah I'm a Yank, but that woman was an institution since before my momma was born

My condolences to the Family. Loosing your matriarch is hard no matter who you are.

 

[Andy131]

I hope that she reunited with Phillip, they have earned it.

Trivia
EIIR became monarch at the age of 21 and was still working (official meeting with Liz Truss two days prior) when she passed away at 96 talk about longest serving !!

King Charles III is the oldest person to become monarch at 73.

Two new top jobs in a country Liz Truss and Charles III in one week.

A few records that won’t be broken for a while; if ever.

Cant say i've ever truly been a Monarchist but a very sad day that was, she's been around since i was born and to me she was a remarkable woman.

RIP your Majesty.

Just waiting on my invite to Balmoral now from King Charles

She's my old boss, ( I swore an oath of allegiance to her 44 years ago ) I'm a monarchist with a small 'm'. I do think it needs to be streamlined, so goodbye Harry and Meghan, Andrew, Fergy and their daughters.
I had a lot of respect for the Queen, I just hope King Chaz can do as good a job.

She could have gone to safety in Canada during the last global unpleasantness. Instead she put on a uniform and served.
Much respect Ma'am.

I think there was one other PM in the '70s who served but I can't think who.

Jim Callaghan - PM '76 to '79. He served as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy and is the only person to have held all four Great Offices of State,

Prince Andrew allegedly saw action as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands war, Prince Phillip was in action during his time in the Royal Navy during WW2. Prince Harry was an Apache helicopter pilot during the Afghan war. King Charles as far as I know did not see action during his time as a commander of the minehunter HMS Bronnington, and also qualified as a Naval helicopter pilot.
Dennis Healy who was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Jim Callahans government had been an officer in the Royal Engineers during ww2.
