Announced minute ago. RIP.

If you're not moved then just scroll on

Not until you show me your official thread police badge.

Would you go to Buckingham Palace and gloat? Somehow I doubt it.

Well no. I couldn't be arsed and it'd be the equivalent of shouting at clouds considering how close I'd get but I doubt that the Royal Family are reading here so they're unlikely to be upset by my remarks. I do feel for them btw as human beings because they've lost a family member but I'm not going to pretend to join in with the fawning.

Sad and upset here too. Do we get told the time and cause of death or is it kept private? I admired her and her work ethic. R.I.P your majesty

I was surprised by the mass hysteria when Diana died as I felt none of it...did I broadcast my opinion or just keep my mouth shut out of respect?

I neither know nor care.

I love this. She was a phenomenonal role model - truly dedicated but also with a gentle touch and much smarter than some of those she was surrounded by. I hope she gave Liz Truss a bit of meaningful advice about service and duty.

She was a constant,always there even in the background with all the uncertainty we face in the UK and in the world.

She was greeting the new pm two day's ago.
It's shocking.

Some beautiful pictures of the queen there.
No

"The Queen is Dead, long live the king."
The sovereign never dies.

She was the world's greatest diplomat, who had a very good understanding of people, according to ITV.

I was doing okay until I saw all the taxis lined up on The Mall... 💔 💔 💔

I've been in tears all afternoon. Its so weird. I don't cry when singers, actors die but this - its like someone I've known for a very long time has died.

I'm not a royalist but I am so sad that the last few years of her life) were such tumultuous quite unhappy ones, a PM who lied to her face, covid, death of Philip, Andrew, Harry and Meghan etc .

she was a very dedicated public servant and from someone I know who worked in the household a very sharp cookie and a good judge of character . Apparently she was very fond of labour PMs !

RIP

Been crying all evening, totally heartbroken. What a lady so much Digidentity Grace and kindness , no one has given so much service to there county and I don’t we will never have a monarch like her every again.

It's strange isn't it?
I think we remember those that have died too
It is sad .

I'm Irish, born & bred in Galway& I've been crying on & off all day. It's so sad, she was a wonderful lady & was just fabulous when she visited Dublin in 2011.

I bet Angela Kelly is devastated.

So sad words can't say😢

RIP

Proper job, ma'am. You personified dignity for 70 years, rode all the waves. RIP. You will be missed, not least for the marmelade sandwiches.

And the Bond gig.

It’s sad, yet dying at home and not lingering with no dignity in a hospital at 96 is what most of us would want. Such a strong, proud woman.

RIP.

“Thank you your majesty….for everything”. Well said Paddington!

Did she wear a blue and yellow dress in support of Ukraine?

I didn’t expect to cry.

What a queen.

Thank you ma’am.

My mother and I have never seen eye to eye on the monarchy. But even we can agree that this is a lovely photo.

It is a nice photo!
It's funny
