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

This is and will always be the queen.

I was very inspired to see William and Kate and Harry and Meghan walking together. I hope the brothers and their wives can truly find acceptance in a changing world.

I think that is unlikely to happen unfortunately..

Remember like was yesterday children's Coronation party at our (UK) local church hall,I was about 10 yrs old ?

I think that is unlikely to happen unfortunately..

Like her mother-in-law, Harry's mother, Megan is unlikely to miss such a photo opportunity, even on such a sad occasion.

The Queen leaves Balmoral Castle for the last time on her way to Aberdeen, before finally being flown back here to London... so sad.. it's like suddenly it's reality... I can hardly believe it's possible she's in that coffin

I also thought about how long it would take Megan to make the funeral all about her somehow.

Look what came up on my FB memories today ….

today's rain and wind reminds me of Queen Elizabeth's visit to Washington state in (I think) the 80's. It rained torrentially the whole time she was there. She quipped at a dinner party, "I knew the United States and Great Britain had a lot in common but I had no idea the weather was one of them." lolol

I've been watching the Queen's final journey as the coffin arrives in Edinburgh, the outpouring of crowds and respect is absolutely stunning.

The Queen's coffin has arrived at the Palace of Hollyroodhouse in Edinburgh, to remain overnight before making the journey back donw here to London to lie in State..

the hearse was met By princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Edward and her d-i-l Sophie...to whom the Queen was particularly close

 

[hollydolly]

There's so many flowers been placed outside Buckingham Palace.. that the public are now helping move them into Nearby Green Park...

People continue to flood into Green Park beside Buckingham Palace to pay their respects to The Queen this morning. The Queen's body is still in Scotland, I can't imagine what the crowds will be like when her body is lying in state for 4 days

 

[hollydolly]

Further to the crowds in London at Buckingham Palace.. there are crowds also at Windsor castle In Berkshire hoping to pay their respects..

I ran across this piece of "royal memorabilia" and found it amusing. It seems to be little Charles' invitation to his mother's coronation....

(Click twice to enlarge) Notice those soldiers or marching band members all have a set of wings attached to them !

I noticed the unicorn on the right; the national animal of Scotland, with the thistle growing above it. Also, the English lion on the left with the rose bush above it.

Who knows why such an importance given to Scotland?

She'll find a way...ugh!

Thank you Hollydolly for the link, and for the wonderful photos . This just goes to show how much she was loved and IMO although Queen Elizabeth will be a very hard act to follow King Charles will make a fine King.

I have to wonder, after looking at the pictures, how the florists are keeping up with the demand for flowers.

Remembering not just a Monarch, but a wife and mum

An Aboriginal elder has wiped away tears speaking about how Queen Elizabeth II treated Indigenous leaders with dignity and respect 'for the first time in our lives' during a meeting at Buckingham Palace.

Patrick Lionel Djargun Dodson, an elder of the Yawuru people, and an Aboriginal delegation met the Queen in 1999 as Australia prepared to vote on whether or not to become a republic.

During the ABC documentary, The Queen and Us, Mr Dodson - who is now a federal Labor senator - said: 'We got in there and we were totally disarmed.

'It's a funny thing, to feel a bit emotional about it, because she was so welcoming.

'And she thanked us for coming. And, she ... I think for the first time in our lives, we were treated properly.'

'She treated us as human beings.'
