  1. I remember walking through Hyde Park towards the Palace in the evening. As I approached the Canada gate entrance, there was an overwhelming scent of flowers. The royal park service had to clear most of the flowers, but more kept on coming. It was a incredible, surreal moment in time. People came from every direction to lay flowers ….

  2. I'm extremely pleased it disappointed the efforts of the strike and that young man living off the dole most likely. He will pass, unremembered, insignificant, but she will live on in so many memories and in history.

  3. There should be no Queens or Kings anymore. The Uk has 300K homeless people, millions of families are struggling with the cost of living crisis. The UK government says they don't have money for the NHS or schools, but it costs £345M/year to keep the royals living in luxury. The royal family have their own wealth in Billions but don't use it. The Queen had an agreement with the government to keep her wealth secret. They invest overseas to hide it. This is barbaric and has to end.

  4. R.I.P Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the II.
    70 Years Regin on The Throne of The UK and The Commonwealth 1952-2022.
    Elizabeth 1926-2022.
    Final resting place at Windsor Castle, down in the Valut of St George's Chapel.

  5. Granted I'm American and the royals are more of an interesting oddity to me. Had nothing but respect for the Queen and I pray that the new king does right by the country and can help strengthen the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
