She was exactly that ‘ a comfort’, a safe pair of hands and a level head. I truly think that the vast majority of people will be saddened by her death.Catherine and William moving into that smaller house in Windsor was, in hindsight, just going to be temporary. I think everyone knew that she would not last the year. As the kids have just started a new school in the area, I wonder if they will move to the castle itself?
I feel numb. I am not a fan of the royal family, but I admired the Queen greatly, particularly in the last few years. She was a constant in a country/world that seemed to be moving at a fast pace, often under unsettling circumstances. She was a comfort. We were lucky to have her for so long. An amazing woman, I think it will take a while for her loss to sink in. We genuinely will not see her like again.
God that is awful if true.Allegedly she died before anyone got to see her, that’s the latest reports I’ve been reading
I think that was more a tribute to medical science and her doctors to be honest,I know she was 96 but I still feel in shock at her passing today. It was only 48 hrs ago she was pictured with Liz Truss and although she looked frail, I thought she still looked well and fabulous for her age.
That last shot, on her own, smiling and clutching onto her handbag, just as she always did. Heartbreaking that will be the last we see of her.I know she was 96 but I still feel in shock at her passing today.

Before I forget as I know this thread is fast moving but are there any pictures?
Geroge V died in January 1936 and George VI took his brothers coronation date of May 1937.Apparently it was 16 months until the queen's coronation. Do we think it will be that long until Charles'?
That’s exactly how she’d have wanted it though - doing her duty with a beaming smileThat last shot, on her own, smiling and clutching onto her handbag, just as she always did. Heartbreaking that will be the last we see of her.
I love all these pictures I’m seeing that I’ve never seen before. She looks quite pregnant here as wellLovely picture of the sisters, quite candid too. On a steam engine ride in South Africa, 1947.View attachment 1565364
They mentioned a stroke on the BBC this afternoon but I think that was just speculation.I think that was his choice though. I remember we were told that Queen Mother had died of ‘extreme old age’. Queen Victoria died of a stroke etc. I still think it was sudden and unexpected, in that they didn’t think she’d go today. My Mum says she’s read somewhere that she had a stroke this morning, I don’t know where she saw that though.
I know Margaret was supposed to be The Pretty One, but gosh. The Queen there. knocks her into a cocked hat.Lovely picture of the sisters, quite candid too. On a steam engine ride in South Africa, 1947.View attachment 1565364
I don’t believe she is because Charles was born in November 1958 and this was most likely taken in April 1957. She also made her famous speech where she committed her life to the country and commonwealth. Either way I love seeing candid photos of people, especially when you often only see their polished personas.I love all these pictures I’m seeing that I’ve never seen before.

Nick Whitchell was basically playing OAP ailment roulette.They mentioned a stroke on the BBC this afternoon but I think that was just speculation.

I'm glad I'm not on Twitter. I've had to block a couple of vile individuals on Insta who decided to declare today how they weren't sad about the Queen's passing, as she was a terrible person who was too rich etc whilst others have nothing.I made the mistake of going on twitter. Some people are being vile. Making it all into a joke. It's just so insensitive.
