The Queen

[IanM]

Sad news. A class act.

 

[SatchFan]

Very sad, but certainly set the standard for others to follow.

I'm not a royalist but I have total respect for the Queen and all she has achieved for this country. I think William is in the same mould in terms of duty and responsibility.

Sad, sad day. The greatest monarch of them all.

This in a nutshell!

RIP Elizabeth, thanks for all youve done

Phillip came to me today,
and said it was time to go.
I looked at him and smiled,
as i whispered that "I know"

I then turned and looked behind me,
and seen I was asleep.
All my Family were around me,
and I could hear them weep.

I gently touched each shoulder,
with Phillip by my side.
Then I turned away and walked,
with My Angel guide.

Phillip held my hand,
as he lead the way,
to a world where King's and Queens,
are Monarch's every day.

I was given a crown to wear
or a Halo known by some.
The difference is up here,
they are worn by everyone.

I felt a sense of peace,
my reign had seen its end.
70 years I had served my Country,
as the peoples friend.

Thank you for the years,
for all your time and love.
Now I am one of two again,
in our Palace up above.

I'm so sad but take solace in believing she's home with her beloved Philip.

Just had an online discussion with the other 2 lads who I have planned this years RBL ball in her honour. Obviously we have had to change the proceedings. Whatever the finalised changes are they will be done with utmost respect to the Queen and our future King. We are In uncharted territory but we will do our best.
All that said, quite a few of the branch members who have served are devastated at the loss of our Queen especially women who have served.

Sad news indeed , I vaguely remember waving my wee union jack flag on the day of her coronation. I'll wave one for Charles too, my 3rd monarch.
Sadly, I don't think I'll be around to wave one for King Billy

A very sad day and I'll always remember her Paddington' Bear sketch and smile, what a fantastic lady !

Amazing woman, such a sad and sudden loss

Thanks Phil, that is absolutely brilliant.

Very sad. What a lady, RIP.

For me, the image that epitomised her sense of duty to the country was when she was at on her own at Philip's funeral. Apparently, she was told she could sit with others but she chose not to. For me, that moment spoke volumes.

What struck me more about the funeral was that despite who she was, and who had sadly passed away, there was never any attempt to circumvent the protocols in place regarding funerals. It was reported that despite Downing Street offering to relax the rules, she wanted to set an example rather than be an exception.

We were fortunate to have her service for so long. RIP your Majesty, and thank you.
