RMweb Gold Popular Post SHMD Posted September 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 I also posted this on "Status Updates"... I have, I'm not afraid to admit it, shed a tear or two here. Not because I knew her personally - (I saw her three times, in passing) - but because of the grandeur of the moment. RIP, Ma'am. 3 6 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Graham_Muz Posted September 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 Upon meeting Her Majesty The Queen at Windsor Castle in 1989, having gained the Queens Scout Award, she noticed I was Venture Sea Scout, and asked what I did for my expedition, after I replied "a hike through the mountains of Corsica", she said with a grin "oh not in a boat then" RIP Your Majesty and God Save The King. 34 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted September 8, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 8, 2022 Like many others I am saddened of the loss of Queen Elizabeth II and like many others brought a few tears.

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted September 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2022 I've always felt mildly republican, but feel curiously affected by this and identify with that horrific rush to the bedside the family had to make. Farewell Your Majesty. All strength to the new King, I have a feeling it will be a very tough act to follow. 4 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It wasn't a shock but still in a state of disbelief. The Queen has always been there and was timeless, RIP your majesty and thank you for your selfless service to our country.

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted September 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2022 I’m not a staunch monarchist by any means but have a huge sense of loss today. I’m 73, she started her reign when I was 2 1/2 so she’s always been there. A sad if inevitable day. RIP Your Majesty. 5 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted September 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2022 Very Sad news, her majesty has always been a constant throughout my life seems very strange to hear the phrase ‘the king’ on the news just watched the paddington jubilee sketch, I’ll admit it bought a lump to my throat, especially the ‘thank you ma’am, for everything’ 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted September 8, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 8, 2022 It was good that she was able to ask Liz Truss to form a government only two days before. Performing her duties right to the end. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Although I'd heard the news earlier, I was taken aback when Liz Truss ended her Downing Street statement this evening with "God Save The King". Its going to be a bit of a wrench to adjust to. A sad day. Edited September 8, 2022 by Hroth Spelling... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 2mmMark Posted September 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2022 It feels strange, I think we all kind of expected her to be almost indestructible. She's been such a constant in a changing world. I'm expecting the Royal Train returning her coffin from Scotland to be a 21st century "Winston Churchill" moment, a chance to pay our respects. 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farewell Your Majesty. All strength to the new King, I have a feeling it will be a very tough act to follow. Likewise a mild republican, although due to the trappings that come with monarchy and the associated gravy train of hangers on below the top tier rather than the actual office of state. She transcended the general morass of leading lights in the governmental arena and has left Charles III a heck of a legacy to live up to. RIP Queen Elizabeth, long live the King.

George VI's real name was Albert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
