Girl done good , as it stands she sadly didn't bring the country with her .

A international bereavement , not her crown or station but her service and ability to keep her council .

Undeserved these days I'm glad she dosnt have to live through what comes next .

She was a wonderful queen and was devoted to her commonwealth and as I am part of that it concerns me. Now in time we will have a king.

We have a king right now, the title passes instantly.
O I never knew that. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I better brush up on the song God Save the |{inG. We'll use that sometimes at very special events.

A well deserved rest after 70 years of dedicated service to her People, Nation and the World as a whole. I can’t imagine a World without Her. May she rest in peace knowing she gave her all. May God Bless and Welcome her Home!

On edit: Corrected error in years served. Still a record that may never again be challenged.

I have a huge amount of respect for the way she handled her position, none for the actual position, just how she executed her time in that role.

Let's see how Chas acquits himself.

She was the only head of state most of us ever knew. Change is in the wind now.
I'm not as old as some here and yes she is all I've known as the head of our state. |{inG Charles will make a public announcement soon and I look forward to that very much.

She became Queen when I was one year old, so I don't remember the old King. I thought she'd outlive me actually.

Not everyone in the UK likes the monarchy but almost everyone I know has had great respect for the Queen. RIP.

It is a bittersweet moment for him. He gets the crown but loses his mother.

Same here in Canada. I expect a republican push now but that is best debated another day.
