RIP Queen Elizabeth II

RIP HM The Queen.

Think an In Memoriam thread should be created for her just like Prince Phillip.

RIP Queen Elizabeth.

Truly the end of an era! It is somewhat surreal to think that Her majesty Queen Elizabeth will no longer be seen as the constant, reliable head of state. However, for so many in the media to call it a shock is overstating it.

I and - despite claims to the contrary - the comfortable majority here in this part of the UK, are immensely proud to have been able to welcome her on so many occasions during her royal visits. Despite the 'issues' around how some saw her and the monarchy (still do) and the history of this place that brought sorrow and grief upon her and her family, she held her dignity and her poise when meeting the man (Martin Mcguinness) who - at the very least - was among those who celebrated the death of Louis Mountbatten. It can't have been easy for her at all! I acknowledge the difficulty it gave him too to cross the rubicon he did!

RIP.

Can't believe five monarchs in my lifetime. George V. Edward V111. George V1. Elizabeth 11. Charles 111. The Queen is dead. Long live the King. RIP. Queen Elizabeth 11.

In your lifetime? You're 86+ years old and on the net (looking at the nawty)... Fair play to ya

Born in 1932. I'm 90 years old. But still young at heart. Only follow Lori to chat. Long past sex unfortunately.

Good on you Tommy. I saw your post earlier today and it put a smile on my face in these sad times.

^ Same. Made me feel young also, so I thank you for that Tommy.

What a wonderful heartfelt address to the nation by King Charles III.
