The Queen has passed away.

Announced minute ago. RIP.

I think it's a shock because on Tuesday she was working and being photographed on her feet
It's so quick

Sad here but a good death. In a place she loved with her family around and busy and smiling up to the last few days.
RIP Your Majesty.

It feels like the end of an era 😭. On a practical note, is tomorrow a holiday?

I'm unexpectedly sad too. RIP to a special lady.

It's the tradition but it was a shock to hear. I am genuinely upset - its such a big thing in historical terms.

Truly the most inspirational woman ever.
None could match her dedication to her duty for the 70 years she was Monarch.

Her addresses at all the most difficult moments Britain has faced over the decades have been wonderfully uplifting and comforting.

I am so sad.

I am also surprised at how sad this has made me; crying real tears.

Actually shocked at how upset this has made me.

RIP.

Yes, same here. It has unexpectedly really saddened me; I’ve cried in front of the children.

I liked her whole story. The relationship that she had with her parents and sister, her traditions, the fact that she was well travelled and loved Scotland and horses. I liked her stoic attitude and the fact she genuinely was a stable for this country. It is a massive loss. I’m not sure that will ever be replicated again.

Very emotional, a good woman.

Agreed a great stateswoman.
The longest monarch and she saw in our new female prime minister. Perhaps she thought, job done.
Rest in peace your majesty. You were an inspiration.

God bless the queen, it is devastating , she was amazing.

Gutted.

In shock

RIP

So sad. She's been a constant in my life. Feels like the end of an era 😓

I am a lifelong Republican, but I had enormous personal respect for the Queen. My thoughts are with her family and friends. Having lost my own grandmothers, I know how they are feeling.

So sad🥺🤍

I saw about ten swans this afternoon around 1.30pm. I was surprised because I've only ever seen two in that spot and never that many anywhere on a river. It felt like they were coming out for something very important and then half an hour I got home and saw the news that she was ill.

A dreadfully sad day. She has shown such loyalty and dedication to her role and to this country.

This feels so odd. Odd she's gone. More odd that our monarch is King Charles

I'm really glad for her that she was still on the go on Tuesday and died peacefully (I hope) less than 48 hours later. RIP.

The Queen is dead. Long live the King!

Its sad news but not entirely unexpected given the last released photo of her meeting Liz Truss.

Hopefully the media will allow our new King space to mourn before they begin the ghoulish picking over of every word, expression and movement.

I'm strangely upset and tearful. Which is silly. But we will never see the like of Elizabeth II again. Only people like my uncle (who is 80) remember a time when there was a different monach before her. 😢

I'm much sadder than I thought I'd be.

King Charles
It sounds weird.
Have to get used to that one
