Hearing Charles described as King is making me feel unexpectedly nauseous. This is not an anti-Camilla position, I have no opinion on Camilla, I just... no. Do not want.

I don't follow the royal family, but feel sad reading the news. RIP to her she was committed to her role in life.

What a lady. What an icon. They don’t make them like her anymore. God bless Queen Elizabeth

Will the bank note notes and coins now change to King Charles?

Also the crowns on public servants uniforms , and buildings like police stations?

Id guess it will change quite quick?

No I think in the past they left coins and notes in circulation, and just gradually replaced them as they wore out.

I'm not a royalist but I admired the Queen for her dedication and dignity. End of an era.

Yes, this is how I feel as well.

They must have held the announcement, too, ecause it said she died this afternoon. I imagine that’s what ‘medical supervision’ meant. It seemed an odd phrase at the time.

The announcement would always be made at the evening news. That's common knowledge within MOD and journalism.

The Queen was an incredible woman. She spent her entire life in service to her country with never a single complaint. RIP💐

Pandamumium · 08/09/2022 19:16

Like lots of people here- I wasn’t a monarchist, but I am feeling really sad.

Hard to believe given how well she looked on Tues. Frail but well. Truss must feel odd.

This epitomises her. Obviously wanted to do this one last important duty. On duty to the very end!

RaRaRaspoutine · 08/09/2022 19:20

an incredible part of world history has finished. RIP.

Wearefoooked22 · 08/09/2022 19:20

I can’t believe how upset I am,this has been a rubbish year!

ScarlettnotOHara · 08/09/2022 19:20

Feels too soon doesn't it x

Very sad. RIP 💐💕

RMT has called the next two strike days off out of respect.

NanaNelly · 08/09/2022 19:21

RIP Your Majesty❤️

The sun has finally set on the empire

KitBumbleB · 08/09/2022 19:22

Charles has released a beautiful statement

goody2shooz · 08/09/2022 19:22

We won’t see her like again. I used to be a republican but after seeing the likes of Trump, Bojo, Truss et al, I’d prefer Charles and William. I’m surprised how tearful, and slightly fearful, this expected death has made me. I’ve no doubt this will be the start of even more efforts to divide and destabilise the nation.

Stangerthings · 08/09/2022 19:23

R.I.P your majesty. You can be with Phillip now.

UndertheCedartree · 08/09/2022 19:23

I have had a little cry. She seemed like a lovely lady and a constant my whole life. She dedicated herself to our country for her whole life which I found very impressive. She'll be a hard act to follow, no doubt. Thoughts with her family. Rest in Peace, your Majesty.

Kellie45 · 08/09/2022 19:24

She has always been a part of my life. I shed a few tears when I heard the sad news. Of course you know she’s not gonna live forever but you just hope she would. A tremendous woman of duty and an example to us all. RIP Ma’am.

Saw this on Instagram by an account called Murphys_sketches and it really got me it made me think of my Nan and grandad.

The Queen has passed away.

She was the epitome of professionalism, an amazing woman.
