Queen Elizabeth 11 has been a constant throughout my life. I was two years old when she ascended the throne so, she has always been there. A constant presence and a woman who dedicated her life to the service of her country which she did with grace and humility for 70 years. She pledged herself to our service and she fulfilled that pledge.
She understood the assignment.
RIP Queen Elizabeth 11 and God save the King.

Yeah …so sad …🍀🙏🍀🙏🍀….love Ria 💋
ReplyDeleteSo sad Ria. XXXX
DeleteRIP Queen Elizabeth II. You will be greatly missed. The world always felt her presence and she led with great strength and skill. Her words always meant so much and her grace, charm and wisdom carried all people. A truly remarkable woman. Today is a sad day.
ReplyDeleteShe dedicated her life to her country for 70 years so, it will be very different to have a King but, I think Charles has begun his reign very well. His speech was excellent and, he has had so much experience and has been taught by the master ..... I wish him well. XXXX
DeleteSuch a sad day to hear that Queen Elizabeth II. is dead. She was such an adorable woman, and will be missed very much. RIP Queen Elizabeth II.
ReplyDeleteIt was a day that had to come wasn't it Britta but, that doesn't make it any less sad. We now enter a new era and, I think Charles will do well. XXXX
DeleteMy thoughts exactly. I'll miss her.
ReplyDeleteI will miss her as well Cro ..... she has always been there but, I think Charles will do well. He has learnt from the best. XXXX
DeleteWell said Jackie xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad time ..... she did her job beautifully and now it's Charles' time ..... I think he will make a good King and I wish him well. XXXX
DeleteAbsolutely spot on there....so sad although not unexpected.
ReplyDeleteI think we all knew it was coming didn't we Libby? Since The Duke of Edinburgh died, she seemed to get more and more frail which was understandable. I think Charles will do well..... he has been working towards this day for so many years and has had so much experience..... I wish him a glorious reign. XXXX
DeleteSo very sad, like you Jackie I recall that wonderful Coronation day in 1953 when we were little girls (I was 9!), and then growing up knowing she was always there and so very special. An amazing woman.
ReplyDeleteHoping King Charles will carry on in her footsteps - he's had good training. Just watched the coverage of him arriving at Buckingham Palace - wonderful that he walked about and greeted the people despite grieving his huge loss.
Your words are so true, thank you for sharing with us.
Sadly the end of the great second Elizabethan era.

I was two so, I don't remember it really. I remember having My sister was six so she has memories of the Coronation along with my cousin and they both remember the street party { and there are photographs ! } She reigned supremely and I doubt anyone else will reign for so long but, I think Charles will do well ..... he has learnt from the best and has had a lifetime to prepare.
DeleteI think it will be called the Carolean age which is Latin for Charles. Sending love from a sad UK. XXXX
We could not have asked for a better monarch these past seventy years. In a ,manner of speaking she was the glue that held our country together so what now?
ReplyDeleteOh YP ..... thanks so much for commenting on my blog. I always enjoy reading your comments ..... you always make me laugh. There's nothing better than a good laugh !!!
DeleteElizabeth 11 was a wonderful Queen. She dedicated her life to our country and we couldn't have asked for more. I actually like Charles and I think he will do a great job. He has learnt from the best and has had a lifetime to prepare. His speech was excellent ..... I wish him well. XXXX
