Truly an end of an era. She was a remarkable woman living in remarkable times navigating a country that went through much. She has and always will have my utmost respect. Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth.

Sad, but not unexpected news.
I had a bad feeling reading the morning reports on her health.

Shocked, even though it must have been anticipated - just as it was with my own mother who shared the same birthday and just a year older than HRH

Sadly it comes to all of us.
In a volatile and "interesting times" world she was the rock of tradition. Ruling monarch of the British Commonwealth for our entire lives. She carried out her duties with dignity and grace, often in the face of vicious Press campaigns against her Family. All the flags are at half mast down here. Her chapter in History is closed, and she is now at rest with her predecessors. The Queen is Dead, Long Live The King.

Best of the lot of them. RIP to the Queen and the WW2 generation along with her. Profound sadness over what is lost, maybe forever.

This is very sad news, indeed. She was truly one of a kind.
My condolences to our friends across the pond. May god rest the soul of Queen Elizabeth II.

I offer my most profound and deepest sympathies to the people of the United Kingdom and the nations of the Commonweath on the lost of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the II. As an American this is about as shocking and tragic to you as the loss of Lincoln, FDR and JFK where to us. When I had heard this morning on the news that most of the royal family was headed to Balmoral Castle to be by Her side I thought that the worst was coming but hoped for the best, sadly my thought was more correct then my hope was. It will be I think for some a difficult time to morn the loss of such a figure as HRH considering how many different generations of people have known and loved her.

Just came back from St Andrew's Cathedral here in Sydney. Special Service for Her Late Majesty The Queen......it was PACKED. At least 1000 people from all walks of life and cultures/races.
A very moving Service....the Archbishop broke down and cried. The main Services in the near future look to be standing room only. The new Royal Anthem was sung, after all these years it's now "God Save The King". Lot of affection for The Late Queen Elizabeth being manifested probably around the whole British Commonwealth.
