Zeb Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) RIP to Elizabeth the Great who has been a constant in the lives of so many people in the UK and the Commonwealth. The end of an age. Vale. A very hard act to follow ............................................................................. Britain united in shock and sadness on a dark, cold day The news wasn’t unexpected, but stunned sombre Britons took to WhatsApp or milled about in front of royal palaces as they tried to digest what was happening. Home-made shrines are laid outside royal palaces. Credit - Jessica Sier The country’s grief will blossom into almost overwhelming proportions in coming days. People will be mourning not just a woman, but an icon, an era, an identity. Life will go on, but an anchor has been weighed. The country must somehow sail on without her. https://www.afr.com/world/europe/britain-united-in-shock-and-sadness-on-a-dark-cold-day-20220909-p5bgpj Edited September 9, 2022 by Zeb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lemondropkid Posted September 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 Very sad, has sunk in this morning reading all the tributes. My parents would always sit us down to watch the Queen's speech before we were allowed to have our Christmas dinner. Both proudly Irish and staunchly Catholic, said everything that the Queen was respected across religious and political divides, as truly great figure. Loved her horse racing and owned/bred winners of many classic races, but the Derby remained elusive. My favourite horse of hers was the filly Esimtate and her Ascot Gold Cup win in 2013. Brilliant pictures of her enjoying the win in the stands, as the crowd roared her filly home. And the then Claire Balding, explaining she was meant to present the trophy to the winning owner- which would be herself😀 Happy memories of a life well led. 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob lt Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I felt a sudden chill when I read the news. I explained to my companion it was similar to the loss felt by Thailand six years ago. We sat quietly for some considerable time. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr. Smooth Posted September 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 Watched much of the coverage over here in America, Her Majesty seemed to be a woman from another age. Among the final threads remaining that connected the current generation with the WWII generation. The dignity and grace she maintained for seven decades as Queen, through good times and bad, the devotion so many felt toward her, and now the sadness being felt by so many at her passing, considering the world in which we live now, it's probably safe to say the likes of Queen Elizabeth will not come this way again. Condolences to my UK friends and members here on the board on such a somber occasion. Now she belongs to the ages. 4 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Britboy Posted September 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 I watched it all unfold on Sky News. I thought they covered the whole day very well. She was an inspiration and totally dedicated and committed to her role. So much respect for her from me, I thought she was amazing. Never a bad word and never a screw up. To go 70 years on the throne with an unblemished record is very special. God bless you ma'am, may you rest in peace with your beloved Phillip . . 😪😪😪 4 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Mourning is a time of introspection as well as honouring the deceased. I understand the mass cancellation of public events in the UK, but in honour of Her Majesty I held an impromptu Regimental Dinner tonight with my playmates. For the main meal we dined on 5 baht crepe. When the meal was finished and the mat cleaned, 5 Baht fruit juice was passed around the mat (Only to the left and never leaving the mat) At an appropriate time I called on Mr Vice for the Loyal Toast Mr Vice (A six year old girl) "Gentlemen! The Queen!" ....I have to admit that it took a bit of prompting! Everybody "THE QUEEN"! I am damn sure Her Majesty and Prince Philip would have approved .....even though some may not !!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
