Queen Elizabeth II has died RIP

[hagjohn]

That's sad. RIP. Strangely enough, I just recently found out we are distant cousins. I think our common ancestor was around 1582.

My wife just happened to blurt this out. I hadn't heard about it yet. Was on news 10 minutes after she said it.

 

Totally sad 😭

Oh god...

 

You guys could always treat Charlie III same as the other two ☠️

She had a long rule, no doubt about it. Such an inspiration! At least she's in a better place, now though, to be honest. RIP your highness! You'll forever be a true queen!

I wonder if people outside of the UK really understand her role here.

 

I'm not a royalist but I do like having a Royal Family. The pageantry brings people together and allows us to celebrate being British. Not many things are celebrated these days. Christmas has become an eating and booze fest, New Year's is similar but Royalty is in our roots.

 

Disappointing some (on that hole that is Twitter) are cursing her... for things that happened way before the Queen was even born, but then perhaps they are applying how royalty is done in their country to how it is in the UK.

 

Not sure Clinton, Bush or Biden will get this level of sadness from around the world. Perhaps some sort of resemblance within the US.

 

I can't think of a person alive today that holds more respect from world leaders than the Queen has. That's some feat.

I find the easiest way to explain it to Americans is to give them a comparison with something closer to home.  We (in general) think of our royal family much like most American's think of their Founding Fathers.  Respected, revered in many ways, and much loved.  Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is to us what Abraham Lincoln is to many Americans.

The Queen when Meghan Markle comes to say her goodbyes

bahwahahahahahahahah .... That had me laughing out loud.

The Queen was a class act and will be tough to follow.

 

A couple days late but somethings are worth waiting for - 

 

[FloatingFatMan]

Ladies and gents, I present to you... The most British thing EVER!

 

 

 

None of your random Do It Yourself queuing around here, thank for very much! Organisation! Efficiency!

stay classy. 

in other news this hasn't been commented on since September. I don't think it needs to stay pinned.
