Andy135 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Whatever your views on the monarchy, its fair to say she personified service to the nation with her dedication to her role and long tenure. I for one am feeling a little sombre tonight. Rest in peace. Malc and Geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 70 years she has lived through 2nd world war, dealt with her fathers death when she was young, stuck on the throne at a young age with the world watching her every move and lived through some pretty momentous moments of the 20th century all remaining politically neutral which must of been a bit of a challenge…. Then losing her husband after 73 years and sittitng alone in the funeral…. She had a tough gig… I know she had money etc but she never had much privacy…. So yes, I respected.

Geoff Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 A very said day, I personally think that our country has lost the best monarch that we have ever (or are likely to get) had. Having said that - "Long live the King". King. I know that King Charles 3rd. has had the longest apprenticeship ever. Geoff. Bon voyage Queen Elizabeth 2nd. RIP. Geoff.

suzook12 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Tomorrow dawns a very new day where so much but so little has changed. There are very few people who can remember a time when Elizabeth was not our queen. She had been on the throne 25 years when I was 11, I still have the mug that every kid was given....... She spanned a life that encompassed so much change that the country is unrecognisable in many ways, yet she was a constant. The Queen is dead, long live the Queen Andy135 and captin slows old outlaw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
