No great shock considering her age really, however royalist or not I won't argue she served the country with the upmost dignity and pride. That alone should be congratulated, in a modern world where people want to identify as fish fingers and aspire to be moronic celebrities.
Long live the king!
I am a royalist and shed a tear at the news. RIP Elizabeth, and long live King Charles III
Agreed, very sad day. She is the only monarch most people in the UK (and indeed so many parts of the world) have ever known :(
