The passing of Her Majesty Qyeen Elizabeth II has touched all of us here in the United States, and every freedom loving person in the world.
She was a giant on the world stage starting with her service in the British Army in World War II and continuing to this very day. There will never be another that displayed so much grace, presence, and charm. In short she was one of a kind. God bless her, welcome her, and protect her, and all those she so magnificently served for over three quarters of a century
God Save The King.

I echo QC's sentiments. I deeply regret learning that Her Majesty as passed. She was a world-class lady and shining example for all the world. We will not see her like again.
God save The King.

Thank you all, it is sad at any time but now when the country is in very dire straights it is a massive blow.
She was still working up to Tuesday and had an audience with our PM, Wednesday she cancelled a meeting and today she died.
I found out at work this evening everyone in the medical facility was sad, all the usual smiling faces were gone.
Infact the whole town is in the doldrums you can see and feel it.
It's the end of the second Elizabeth era, I will miss her, we all will.
God save king Charles III

I want to also join others in expression my profound sadness in the passing of the Queen. I almost suspect that her passing will help the UK rally and realizes that all the centuries of traditions is your common bond as it is to us in the US.

Thank you Beth, I am humbled by all the messages I have received, HR and I thank everyone.
To top it off my sister in law died yesterday, my 84 year old brother phoned me, I have never heard him cry before, they got married in 1964, he is going to need our support, he will miss her terribly.

I am beginning to realise that an outpouring of love, respect and thanks, is going to see a half the Country descend on London in a weeks time. A tribute like none ever in history. We didn't know what we had until she left.
It's going to be awesome. A nation grieves.

Well it is really difficult to underestimate the significance of this, I have known no other monach and I am not alone.
The french leader macron said so sweetly "to you she was your queen, to us she was the queen"
Every town in Scotland which the coffin travelled was lined with people, I imagine it will be crazy in London.
She was queen to 100 million all over the world, just listen to the Canadian leader when spoke to his people.

Thank you Beth, they have kept my brother in hospital, all this has hit him hard, his blood pressure dropped which is bad at his age.
