R.I.P Our Beloved Queen Elizabeth ... please leave your comments or memories here

[hollydolly]

King Charles III has paid tribute to his 'darling Mama' the Queen and vowed to 'renew' her 'promise of a life of service' as he delivered a deeply revealing and personal first address to the nation.

The monarch, holding back tears, said, 'To my darling Mama, thank you, thank you', as he hailed Elizabeth II as an 'inspiration and an example to me and to all my family' following her death at Balmoral yesterday aged 96.

In a moving speech that was screened at a service of prayer and reflection at St Paul's Cathedral, the King spoke of a 'time of change for my family' while praising his 'darling wife Camilla' who becomes Queen Consort 'in recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago'.

I have to say..Joe Biden, look as old as the Queen.. or maybe the Queen looked 20 years younger.. here she is at 95 in this picture and JB is 78...

The Queen's sense of humour remembered: from off-mic quips to tea with Paddington​

In the original full length Paddington Sketch...filmed in March of this year... I can't believe the Queen would have even though she wouldn't see Christmas in this her Jubilee year... As Paddington Bear says.. .....Thank you- For Everything..

She looks younger than her age. In my experience, most folks in their nineties plus have less wrinkled, saggy skin and their age & appearance seem to freeze around seventy.

I was thinking her dogs will miss her. Of coarse they will be well cared for.

Tears in My eyes from the picture of the corgi’s fallen leash. And my feelings about the appearance of the double rainbow…….opened the door to a very deep place…….

Sung for Diana, relevant for the Queen as well

Had to look up meaning of Queen Consort title

A Queen Consort is the woman who is married to the reigning monarch, with the title of “Queen” being reserved for female rulers that become the monarch through a line of succession, and whose rank, role, and responsibilities are equal to those of a king.​

How did I get a promo for Nigel Farage Live in Sydney?

Don't answer that. I was because I was not logged in.

He's gone now.

The Queen always wore beautiful hats. Perhaps they’ll set up a display of all her hats at some point.

I presume the purple crown will be used for Charles in the official coronation. Wonder who, if anyone, will wear all the other beautiful crowns and tiaras. Maybe some are reserved just for the Queen.
