The world will miss you, Queen Elizabeth. It took an extraordinary person to command such respect and adoration for so long in the world she lived in.

I hope her family reached Balmoral in time... RIP, Elizabeth. You've earned it.

Long live the King.

Well said, Mdoggie. I don't know if it'll be in my lifetime, but I'll bet there'll be pressure on Charles in coming years to step down in favor of William.

The Queen became so frail after the death of Prince Philip. I know many will scoff but I believe part of the reason she died was from a broken heart.

HM served her country long and well.

May she rest in peace always.

All her children were there, plus William & his wife. Not sure about the other grandchildren.

RIP Queen Elizabeth, you were a good one, and earned your stripes in WW2:

Already happening. Many prefer William.

She must have had a lot of fun doing this:

I have never understood why the people of the US have such affection and interest in the British monarchy, but The UK could have done far worse than Elisabeth and may she rest in peace. That far worse part, well I suspect we are about to see it.

She had an amazing reign and an incredible life. RIP HRH...

However one feels about the monarchy, there’s little doubt that a very great lady passed today.
We shall not look upon her kind again.

Why would Charles abdicate in favor of his son? Just because some people don't like him?

Not gonna happen. You're stuck with him.

Given Charles' age his reign won't be that long anyway, he turns 74 in November.

Well, his mother made 96, and his father made 99. Who knows?

Give it to Prince William

RIP to Queen Elizabeth II. She reigned my entire life.

In 1977 I had the privilege of attending a Queen Silver Jubilee party, celebrating her 25 years as the Queen of England at the British base in Paderborn, Germany. Was given a jubilee coin by the Battalion Warrant Officer 1, which is equal to a Command Sergeant Major. I can tell you this that the Brits do know how to party. May she Rest in Peace.

RIP to Queen Elizabeth II. She reigned my entire life.

Pretty much everyone’s life. I guess that’s where they get the expression “in the everyone’s life a little reign must fall.”

She came to New Haven once, maybe in the 70s? I saw her in a motorcade with crowds of people cheering- on Chapel Street I think

I've only been to the UK once, but the monarchy is big business there. I have a plate commemorating the Queen's visit to NYC in 1957; It was my grandmother's. She had a fondness because her father was born in England in the 1860s.

Well, his mother made 96, and his father made 99. Who knows?

Not to mention his grandmother made it to 101.

By leaps and bounds. Couldn't happen soon enough.......
