My wee granny hung on until I’d been to see her. She squeezed my hand, and that was that last reaction she had to anything
I am not a royalist but she was my final link with my parents and grandparents etc. There are so many memories that I have of her eg my Mother insisting on watching The Queen Speech every single Christmas,the pomp and fuss during weddings and jubilees. Charles has huge shoes to fill.
A bit off topic but what you said has grabbed me. So could you just be walking around Windsor and see her in the castle?? I'm assuming she wouldn't come out of the grounds or anything.
If so that's absolutely lovely.
King Charles just won't ever be held in the same affection as the Queen. He has big shoes to fill. The Queen had a backbone of steel, working to the end. Commitment. Dedication. Duty. So many could look to her example.
Yeah, I’ve seen her a couple of times too, just going about her business
We went for a walk along Blackpool seafront last night and they had switched off all the illuminations as a sign of respect. Was odd not to see the tower all lit up.
We did see the Royal Navy vintage tram pass by, seemed appropriate somehow.

Look out for the video footage of The Queen from a baby to current days. . Its very cleverly done and just shows her blossom from a bonny baby to the true beauty that she was. . Its amazing!!
I work in Windsor on Fridays . .
Today is going to seem very strange
I think we are so used to seeing her face it will be strange seeing Charles as King but I guess he has waited for his turn!

There’s been some lovely words about The Queen, and I feel we’ve really lost something wonderful in her death.
I’m of an age where my formative years were littered with Royal events - jubilees, weddings, births, and tours all before social media & fed through traditional news - we had street parties & celebrated - ladybird book on a Royal event anyone? I feel sad about her death and also the end of that era. Hugs to anyone feeling sad too xx

Woken up and want to cry already. I can't help but feel like a feeling of 'safety' has disappeared. I can't explain it. A person who you just believed would always be there. I didn't know I'd feel such grief and sadness whilst also recognising this would be hard.
I hope that doesn't sound selfish. I'm just expressing how I feel about the loss of our Queen.

I understand. The Queen has been a constant in so many of our lives. It feels odd to have a King but that's how it goes. I remember her speech during Covid when she said we'd all meet again. It gave me comfort. It was needed. She did a remarkable job for 70 years; committed to her duty to the end. Incredible.
There’s some vile people about, you know you’re messed up when even Putin can give a nice heartfelt statement about the Queen. Russian people laying flowers at the British embassy in Moscow too, and yet some of our fellow countrymen can’t even be quiet if they have nothing nice to say!!
I wonder if they'll do it around May or June, and add it on the the bank holidays like the Jubilee
Some people are horrible, what ever wrongdoings people believe the Queen or Royals are responsible for , dying of old age is completely no consequence of that.
So true for me too ! Some of my happiest memories Street parties and the silver jubilee,
I had a Royal scrap book as a child filled with pictures of the Royals and especially princess Diana.Was definitely an important part of my
Child hood.I’m so incredibly sad today
What a sad start to the day waking up and realising for the first time in our lives the Queen is no longer the Queen.
Have they said when the funeral is? I would really like to watch it but think I’ll be at work
I think you might have quoted the wrong post because I completely agree with you!Although it’s still a better job that Boris would have done. He wouldn’t even have brushed his hair. I’m glad he didn’t get to do it; he would have loved to have been part of the history books given his ego. He gives me the rage
I'm glad I didn't have to see or hear Boris last night.
I'm stood in the kitchen this morning out of eye and earshot of my kiddo.
Their only 3 and it's not their burden to hold that I'm really quite grief stricken.
But it's not even 8am and I'm already crumbling.
It feels like I'm being dramatic or silly to be so hurt.
Selfish even.
But I can't help it.
If we are in such heartache, it doesn't bare to think how her great grandchildren, grandchildren and her children are feeling.
I've tried to keep reading this thread to a minimum as I'm not in the best place to read anything negative about Her Majesty if there is anything.
But from what I've read, I offer you all my sincere condolences, we appear to be in the same boat that's floating from our tears

Maybe she was waiting for Boris to finally piss off?!!!! If so, I have even more respect for her.
