The Queen is dead, long live the King.

I think it's safe to say that all of us have known her as our Queen our whole lives.. and she has continued to work right up until her death. She had great dignity, empathy and class as well as a strong work ethic and sense of service to her country and she achieved a great deal for our country particularly through her foreign diplomacy etc plus the huge amount of tourism she brought in. The monarchy will never see the likes of her again and she really cannot be replaced... Very sad news.

70 glorious years of duty and service for Britain and the Commonwealth, reunited with her beloved Prince Philip. A peaceful end to a lengthy reign.

Thank you ma'am for everything.

‘We usher in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country exactly as Her Majesty would have wished, by saying the words: God Save the King.’

It was with the heaviest of hearts that we learned of the passing of Canada’s longest-reigning Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She was a constant presence in our lives – and her service to Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country’s history.

Such a sad moment for us Canadians as well.
Sending peace and love to the royal family during this time.

She was the epitome of what it means to be a good human being. May she rest in peace
