Very sad news.

Tragic news. An amazing loss.

The rainbow over the Palace was a nice phenomenon.

Clearly God welcoming her through the gates at the top of the stairs

Long live the King.

Elizabeth the Great.

[Mr Sprue]

I have to add to this thread to say she was a person whom I thought would outlive Charles and myself. A very sad day and may she rest in peace.

[Ossian]

The Queen is Dead.    God Save the King!

RIP Your Majesty.   Thank you for your life of service.

A sad day indeed. I remember watching the coronation in 1953 on TV at a neighbours. The first time I'd watched TV. I was 7 at the time.

In the last 6 months I've lost the two most constant women in my life - my Mother and the Queen, both named Elizabeth.

Will Charles keep the royal train ?

i can remember the street  party outside our house for the coronation. I am a few months older than Charles--same year.

The train was being sent to Scotland -perhaps to carry the coffin ?

[Bealman]

The Queen was crowned the year I was born, so she's the only monarch I've ever known. My mother would most certainly be in tears today, but as she died in 1990, that's a bit academic, I guess.
