To raise a glass to remember and salute Elizabeth and everyone else who dies today ?

[catwomando]

I'm a republican, and even so, tonight I raise a glass to Elizabeth as she seemed like a nice lady, but I also raise a toast to everyone else who will die today and who deserve to be be marked and remembered too.

Everyone is important, everyone is remarkable, and tonight I'm thinking of all those who have lost someone close to you.

💐🍷I can join you. May her Majesty rest in peace.

RIP 💙 to all who have passed, especially those who have passed alone, in pain and without any comfort.

A true legend
Rip

Yep. I've made myself a G&T and had a little toast to her Maj.

I raise you my glass of wine. I loved you, my dear Queen. You were the best of us.

RIP the queen and RIP my mum 💐

I will join you. That’s an excellent message.

I will also join you.

We're going to do the same. DH is an ardent republican and it was his idea.
She's been a remarkable Queen and had an extraordinary life.
We're certainly living in interesting times.

🥂💐

Lovely post! I raise one too! X

What a nice sentiment. Well done OP. Here's to the departed. Cheers.

Glass raised to your Mum RIP. I lost my Nan today and to be honest it now feels like her death will be overshadowed when she was a wonderful Nan.

@Overshadowed I raise a glass to your Nan. May she RIP. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Lovely sentiment, OP. Hear hear 🥂

@Overshadowed I have just raised a glass to your mum.

I am no monarchist but I have really become to respect her stoicism, sense of duty and all she did as I got older. 70 years of service and putting duty first- like many of her generation. She is a huge part of our history as are those close to us we have lost.

@Overshadowed , apologies. For your Nan 

@Supersad for your mum

I'll join you, I've just raised a glass in toast to a remarkable lady. 7 decades of service to her people.

At peace with her Philip, RIP 💔

Feel like some PP missed the point of the OP:

RIP The Queen and RIP everyone else who died today.

@notonl Spot on.

@Overshadowed username says it all.

I just wanted to make sure that no one is overshadowed, because everyone matters.

I will raise a glass all who died today, especially the mum, the gran and the queen toasted here.

Condolences and much sympathy to all 🥂

🍷💐

Yanbu. DH and I have raised a glass to the Queen but I'm also thinking of all those who passed today and to those they leave behind. So sorry for your losses of your loved ones @Supersad and @Overshadowed 💐 They will forever live in your memories x

Thanks. My Nan was a wonderful woman who suffers greatly with I’ll health for 20+ years. I will miss her terribly but now have to spend the next few weeks seeing people mourn a woman they never met me whilst I’m mourning a woman who was the world to me. I know the Queen was amazing, but so was my Nan. Seems bizarre. And unfair for my Nan and everyone else who passed or lost a family member today.
