The Queen is Dead

[ODB]

Long Live the King.

What a reign Queen Elizabeth had. Rest In Peace.

Seems weird for the UK to now have a different monarch as she reigned for 70 years!

RIP

15 PM's, 14 US Presidents and 7 popes...

Only time I ever think about any of those people is on 4th of July.

Boring.

she had grace and class. Something sadly missing in our own crop of politicians

Does the queen actually have any role in politics other than appearances?

Living in the UK for the past year I have more of an appreciation of their love for the Queen. It was fun celebrating the jubilee with our British friends this year.
I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone didn’t have a deep respect for the queen. For sure the royal family but never a negative comment regarding Queen Elizabeth.

You hit the nail on the head. She was unto herself and represented something it seems is no longer present in the Royal family .

And, apparently, some of our members.

RIP

For some reason I find that shocking.

My mother was Irish. Her grandparents came from Galway, Ireland. Growing up, I deer hunted every year with my Uncle(her brother) and one of the things he used to tell me was ......."nothing good ever came from the English". While my mother never said a word, her family were not big fans of the British. England exported food out of Ireland during the Potato Famine and over a million Irish starved to death. Another million left Ireland to escape starvation and then decades of war between the IRA and British occupation. Something the Royal Family never formally apologized for or the Irish Catholics of prior generations forgot.

Things change over time and the US love affair with the Royal Family continues but the Queen and the Royal Family are nothing I've ever celebrated or followed. The Queen is dead....meh.

May she rest in peace, reunited with her beloved husband.

God save the King.

I was just in Galway Wednesday morning. Beautiful city. It’s been interesting talking with the Irish these last couple days and visiting the local sites. Pretty rough history relationally with the English although I think some of those sentiments are changing from talking with the locals.

Gritty but classy woman who was one of the last of a generation who had morals, decency, work-ethic, and made sacrifices that the majority of people today cannot comprehend.

Not when PM's and President's are elected with term limits and Popes appointed in the waning twighlight years of their lives.

 

[Archerichards]

Yes...what a leader she was. I admired her.
