Actually shocked at how upset this has made me.
RIP.

Awful news. RIP

Radio not switched coverage or announced yet but it is on Twitter - odd

RIP. I’m not a fan of the royal family but she did a good job.

End of an era.

💙 😢 the end of an era

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 08/09/2022 18:36

I’m not a royalist but I liked her a lot. I feel strangely sad. RIP.

DontKeepTheFaith · 08/09/2022 18:36

I feel a little emotional actually, even though I entirely expected it. RIP. I hope she had a peaceful end.

I don’t think life will ever be the same again. Ever.

Enko · 08/09/2022 18:37

Rest in Peace

RIP. Quite jarring, the way the BBC immediately talked about 'The King', although I know that's the tradition and what she would have wanted.

The radio has just broken away from normal programming to announce it.
She's the only monarch most of us have ever known.

Pinkandpurplehairedlady · 08/09/2022 18:38

I surprised by how upset this has made me. RIP.

BattenburgSlice · 08/09/2022 18:38

I’m not a royalist but am sad at her passing…

ffsnotagainandagain · 08/09/2022 18:38

God bless her

BBC stuffed that up. After all that…
Very poignant moment in British history.

ScottishBeth · 08/09/2022 18:38

Weirdly watching BBC it isn't announced on here yet. I'm wondering if there's a delay on our Internet!

I am not a fan of the Royal family, but am quite anxious about what's coming.

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 08/09/2022 18:38

I saw the flag before the announcement and my heart sank. It's made me really emotional Sad

Piccalino3 · 08/09/2022 18:39

I am so so sad. I wish she could have lived forever. Incredible lady

SunflowerSmith · 08/09/2022 18:39

It was very odd hearing the newsreader say the King will remain at Balmoral.

Muminabun · 08/09/2022 18:39

Devastating. She’s gone.
