Maddyone so sorry. ?

glammagran Thu 08-Sept-22 19:45:22

So very, very sad if not entirely unexpected. She has been Queen my whole life and I feel like a rug had been pulled from under me. ?

Noddinggangan your remarks are totally inappropriate for this thread.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II

@Joane123 unnecessarily rude.

I keep crying and crying. My own mother just died too. I feel bereft.

Sorry to hear about your mother Maddy flowers

I never thought I could be so affected by the death of the Queen not ashamed to say I've shed quite a few tears especially seeing the most recent photographs of her. I think we are all going to miss her smiling face

I feel the same. I'm not a massive fan of the monarchy but that final picture of her carrying out her duty to the very end just gets to me. I've also shed tears.

Sar53 Thu 08-Sept-22 19:37:57

RIP Your Majesty, a long life well lived and such devotion to duty. You will be missed xx

So sorry Maddyone God bless your Mum too.

Could not have put it better myself Joane123.
How ignorant and arrogant.

Calendargirl Thu 08-Sept-22 19:35:25

Just listened to Boris’ tribute,

Long, but very profound and meaningful.

BrightandBreezy Thu 08-Sept-22 19:33:39

So sorry for your loss Maddyone ?
RIP Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Respect affection and admiration from me ♥️

Sara1954 Thu 08-Sept-22 19:33:33

I knew I would feel sad, but I feel really upset, can’t believe she’s gone, she’s been there all my life.

Dinahmo Thu 08-Sept-22 19:32:27

Since the announcement earlier today about her health I've just been feeling so sorry that her last few years have been blighted by the situation in the UK and the problems within her own family. I have no doubt that she will at last, be at peace.

She died in the place she loved with her family . She also died with a sound mind and hopefully peacefully with no heroics to try and prolong her life . She deserved that for someone who gave so much to this country. Although I don't have much interest or admiration for most of the Royal Family, I did think she did a good job.

sukie Thu 08-Sept-22 19:30:43

From the US, I send you all my deepest and heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear Queen.

Maddyone my heart goes out to you for the loss of your mother. It's so difficult. flowers

Rosie51 Thu 08-Sept-22 19:29:53

First and foremost a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother has died, and a family is grieving. The Queen was a dedicated woman who kept the promise made at her succession to serve for the whole of her life. God bless, RIP Queen Elizabeth II

Joane123 Thu 08-Sept-22 19:29:41

Oh for gods sake shut up Noddinggran

Luckygirl3 Thu 08-Sept-22 19:29:04

She did her job well - not a job that she chose, but she picked it up and did it seriously and diligently. She had a long life and died peacefully with only a short final illness, so we must be thankful for that.

Blinko Thu 08-Sept-22 19:28:08

I am saddened, though it was inevitable. A momentous day.

karmalady Thu 08-Sept-22 19:26:52

I never had any grandparent, they had all died before I was born and the queen represented everything that my grandmother might have been. I am so very sad.

RIP to a very wonderful person
