Queen Elizabeth
I just read that the Queen of England just passed away. She was 96 I believe. A very determined Queen and dedicated to her Country.

She was a class act, for sure. May she RIP.

A class act indeed! She seemed as someone who would live forever.
|
Even though she was queen she has a family who
loved her and will miss her |
Heard there will be 10 of "celebration of her life". That's a long time to start private grieving.

I was sad to hear of her passing even at 96. Prime example of the greatest generation and we will not see their like again.

I have been listening to BBC coverage and it has been so interesting and informative. All honoring the person even if they don't support the monarchy. It has been lovely to hear snippets of her many speeches over time from age 14 to just this June at her Jubilee Celebration. Of course many have mentioned her father, uncle, children, Prince Philip and her fun with Paddington Bear. I think I should raise a marmalade sandwich and a cuppa tea to her memory.

Yes, even tho she was 96 I was still shocked. I just assumed she would keep going and going, like the Energizer Bunny.
My daughter lived in England for 8 years, met her British husband and became a dual citizen before they moved back to America. She once was visiting at Buckingham Palace when the Queen's cars came back with the Prime Minister of Korea and his wife. My daughter and her friends got to see the Queen and yelled, "Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen." She was pretty amazing. England won't seem the same without a reigning queen. |
