Queen Elizabeth II dies at 96

Seventy years on the throne, having been crowned in 1953.
Now Charles is king.

May God have mercy. And bring comfort to all who grieve.

 

[JohnPaul]

God save the Queen, May she Rest In Peace, condolences to her family and the Motherland England for which her Daughter America also mourns her passing.

I personally liked her, not her kids, especially one of them or her husband. Notice, there was no king, just a queen and for good reasons.

Wonder what happens now.

King Charles releases first statement in the wake of Queen Elizabeth's death: 'The death of my beloved Mother is a moment of the greatest sadness'

Rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth II. Remember seeing her at the Olympics and admiring her. She will be missed world wide.

The short version of her coronation in 1953.

Charles assumes the throne.

Please let us keep this as a memorial thread and not politicize her passing.

If someone is of a mind to do that please make your own thread.
Imsgine how we'd feel if someone published their personal issues to attach to one of our family members obituary.

We are Christians. So too was she. If not respect let us at least respect ourselves enough to either not post, or at least show compassion.
There are babies who are grieving the loss of their grandma, not long after losing their grandpa, Prince Phillip.

Please start your own thread. This is a news/memorial thread. Not to be politicized.Thank you for understanding babies are grieving the loss of their grandma right now.
Compassion requested please.

Exactly, and we don’t need this thread being locked as well, there should be a thread commemorating the Queen’s passing.

Hopefully the mods keep it open and just delete the negative posts .

My condolences to the citizens of the UK for the loss of their beloved Queen. There is no doubt she lead a life of dedication to her nation with the utmost grace, passion and dignity in times of wars, scandals and peace.

May she Rest In Peace in the Loving arms of our Great God.

With Respect and Love,
Taken

You have been warned. Please keep your personal opinions to yourself. As said above - this is a tribute to the Queen....

I am moving this thread to the appropriate forum. [Memorial]

Her last public appearance. She looks very frail there. But not at deaths door.

Prayers to her family and all in the realm who mourn.
Her funeral is going to be quite an event I'm sure.

I have never been alive for a monarchs passing, well today I had a phone call saying my dads funeral may be cancelled as it’s on the same day and all crematoriums will close………as it turns out they have since been given permission for it to go ahead. Back in the day every where would shut for ten days.
I went to Costa this morning, they are not allowed to play music for ten days , no sports events will take place, no comedy shows on tv and radio are only allowed to play the right kind of music.
I have to say it’s kind of weird !!
