RIP Lizzy. x

I feel amazingly upset. I think as someone else said, she’s been the queen for as long as I’ve been alive, it’s an odd confusing feeling.

RIP QEII.

Long live the King 👑?

RIP. Its very odd, not a royalist, but I really do feel strangely emotional. End of an ara

I still remember the little street party I attended as a kid for the Silver Jubilee.

Me too, I’m sad,it’s gonna be weird her not being around.

RIP Your Maj.
There’ll be some happy bastids on here now.

Not happy, just indifferent.

Duty done. RIP.

All stamps and money now obsolete

I wonder how much it will cost us to change all the banknotes and stamps, crests/badges on public and state institutions etc? Perhaps Charlie can go on Cash in the Attic see if he can raise a few quid from all her nick-nacks etc.

A sad day, the country will be very different without her.

All stamps and money now obsolete

i just said that to my daughter, she believed me for a moment. But then we thought….. I guess there are many things like that which will need changing. Postboxes for example….

Surprisingly dusty in our house at the moment….

This^^
It is a strange feeling. RIP Liz

Agree very odd feeling.

RIP.
Hope her family were with her when she died.
All external noise stopped where I am when the news was broadcast and it’s still absolutely silent.

All stamps and money now obsolete

Stevextc is going to be even more annoyed.

This is so sad. As others have said, I remember the street party for the Silver Jubilee. My thoughts are with her Children & Family

RIP – nice to have had her as a backdrop to our lives.

Yes it’s quite quiet out there

It is sad imo but because it represents the end of an era, from now on things will look and sound a bit different – postage stamps will look different, news bulletins will be mentioning someone different. It will seem strange because it will be different.

Although I am strongly supportive of a society were the people hold political and economic power I have never felt any animosity towards QE2. She did the job which she was born into, and pressurised into doing, well imo. The UK could easily have had a worse monarch, and her dedication was unquestionable. RIP

I’m a bit sad.

I’m 70.
She’s been doing her job before I was born.

configuration – that’s a charmless and ignorant post for a new member; or are you a returnee with another new name?

Rip

I am not an ardent royalist, nor a staunch republican (as in someone who does not want a monarchy as opposed to GOP) however Lizzy was unique in her ability to transcend all of that and demand respect as a person outside of her role as Head of State in the UK. She also kept up with such massive changes across the years and did so with grace and ease. yes a little sad and the end of an era for sure…

It’s like the nations Nan has died

A sad day, not a surprise of course but I’m caught off guard by how affected I am by the news.  RIP.

Long live the King 👑?

Indeed.
HRH King Charles and the Queen Consort.

It’s like the nations Nan has died

No royalist, but she did her job well and was probably the last of her kind. There’s not much “British” stuff I respect but she’s definitely one that deserved it

Rip Lizzie. A constant now gone.

I didn’t think it would bother me but have to admit the news has left me feeling very sad, even if it was inevitable.

For all her palaces and luxuries, a life like the one she led would have been very difficult, constantly in the public eye. Yet she carried out her duties without a word of complaint, even if her heart must have sank every time she heard the phrase “And now Ma’am, a display of traditional dancing”. (-:

RIP.

It’s like the nations Nan has died

Exactly my thoughts, and a similar feeling too.

Just come back from walking the dog and seen the news. Even though I’ve been expecting it all day I’m welling up a bit now.

RIP Queenie. You’ll be missed. 🙁🙁

Just to be known as ‘The Queen’ worldwide shows her reach and influence. Say The Queen anywhere and they’d know who you meant.

Just home from a ride and was told the news as I entered the house. Very strange but I could sense something was not right, it was if the world went quiet.
RIP Liz.

The other (inferior) Liz just named him Charles III

RIP Ma’am

How many lucky breaks are the conservatives going to get, that distract the peasants from what they’ve done.
Truss can’t believe her luck!

I think that after everything she led a good life filled with service and duty. It’s a marked contrast to most of what we see today, and I think that people identified with that.

Unfortunately the world is a shite place filled with horrible people. Which is why the daily mail will run a story in less that a week suggesting that the Harry & Meghan situation ‘hastened’ her passing
