The Queen of the United Kingdom of GB and NI, Elizabeth II, has died.

I'm reading that all BBC programming is interrupted and all the news anchors are wearing black but no official report.

Very very sad day if she has passed.

EDIT: The Queen of England has passed away.

Sad news, but that was one hell of a life. The things she's seen and done. Wow.

May she Rest In Peace. Hell of a life indeed.

I work for a UK based company that has won a few awards where we can send members to meet her at a reception at the palace. If we ever win again I'm next to go, always wanted it to be with the Queen.

She looked very frail in the pictures from yesterday with PM Truss, but I didn't think she would be gone today. God Bless her, she worked until the day before she passed.

Very sad news today. Doesn’t seem real to be honest and can’t say I’m looking forwards to King Charles’s reign as I don’t like the guy!

RIP Queen Elizabeth. You were incredible!

Rip Queen Elizabeth II.

One of my favorite car-related quotes about her:
Quote:
Originally Posted by Lisa's History Room
In 1998, Queen Elizabeth had a great “Gotcha” moment. Prince Abdullah — then the crown prince and de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia — was visiting Balmoral, the Queen’s estate in Scotland.

After lunch, the Queen had asked her royal guest whether he would like a tour of the estate. Abdullah agreed. The royal Land Rovers were pulled up in front of the castle. The Crown Prince climbed into the front seat of the front Land Rover. His interpreter sat in the seat behind.

To Abdullah’s surprise, the Queen climbed into the driving seat, turned the ignition, and drove off. Women, at the time, were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, and Abdullah was not used to being driven by a woman, let alone a queen. Evidently, the Queen drove like the wind, navigating the narrow Scottish estate roads, talking all the while, and accelerating. Abdullah was terrified. He begged the Queen to slow down and concentrate on the road ahead.

Not bad as such, just not likeable in the way his mother was. I think Prince William will make a far better King.

Maybe if you lot stopped finding inventive ways to engage in corruption, shoddy construction work, and siphoning money from the Feds the Queen would have been more apt to visit.

But by all means, protect that language, that's the key thing for Quebec to focus on...the thing that needs fixing most of all.

Indeed, very sad news, especially when she was just seen a couple of days ago

In case anyone wanted to see it, here is BBC News announcing the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II.

I knew this morning <canadia time EST> it was going to happen, the first announcements of her health and her children going to visit her bedside was a dead giveaway. I SMS'd my other half to say as much, sure enough was SMS'd that t had happened this afternoon again EST.

TBH not an overall fan, but still have to respect another human being and a families loss, I wouldnt say I'm a royalist, but I do fly a UK flag at home I never did in the UK, lol weird, maybe thats not so much royalist but patriot ?

She had the best of everything, food, doctors, treatment, didnt have to work, so it's really no surprise she lived that long, I think the average mortality age in the UK is about 80.

Latest pics I saw were pretty bad, she went down hill pretty fast.

All that crap with megan and fanboy didn't help.

If your rich and have everything and live in the lap of luxury with servants to dress and wash you, do I feel sad ?

A poor man/woman struggling to live and leaving nothing for there familly and maybe going to a paupers grave.

One thing for sure, we come into this world with nothing and we take nothing, we gotta stand before God to answer for everything we have done.. THAT is all that counts
