    Her Majesty was not my queen as I am a Dutch citizen....but to me, her gracious majesty was the world's queen. She was loved throughout the world. I watched her final fatewell and I must have cried all day. Queen Eluzabeth Ii was the queen most of the world grew up with. ❤

      This is still hard to watch, even after all this time, from the Queen’s death to her final resting place at Windsor - there wasn’t a hitch or a mis-step to be seen from start to finish.
      She would have been so proud as we were by the precision of every parting gesture or parade / service.
      The Queen will be impossible to replace such was her contribution to the world.

Perhaps the greatest and most fitting tribute I can offer is this: her mother and her father, who - especially during the darkest days early in World War II - displayed incredible courage, inspirational leadership, self-sacrifice and empathy - are, I am sure, incredibly proud of her performance throughout last several decades.

    Her Majesty was not just the Queen of the United Kingdom. She was a symbol of stability and dignity. She was also a connection between us and the Great Generation. I am not even British but I feel like I lost something important. I lost the connection with the greatest generation, the last generation who understood the true meaning of chivalry, dignity, honour and duty. I am a grown man but even now when I watch the funeral videos of Her Majesty I get teared up. I have never had the chance to visit the UK yet but I plan to do it next year and I will visit the St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle to pay my respects.

  • @alfredroyal3473

    The most wonderful thing is, she was discussing, as she did, her funeral arrangements. She asked “what if I die in Scotland?”. How were they going to get her back to London? What plane? She asked “what plane do they bring my soldiers (and they were HER soldiers) brought back on? They said that big RAF transport one . She said “if that is good enough for my boys it’s good enough for me”. One simply can not make up class like that. We will bugger on, like we always do but it isn’t the same.

      Such a beautiful woman her majesty was, both in person and soul. A beautiful way to pay her final respects for her boys beyond the grave. She may not have been my queen but as an Icelander the United Kingdom is our neighbour and her loss was felt here aswell. My grandfather once had the privilige of accompanying his Majesty King Charles III on one of his many fishing trips to Iceland in the 1970s as he was fishing in a river on the farm I grew up in and he had nothing but positive things to say about him and attributed it to him being raised well. He is 82 now and was born under British occupation in 1942 here in Iceland and he always had much respect for the British. God save the King.

    The Queue was one of the most gruelling and difficult things I've ever put myself through, but it was completely worth it. The moment I stepped into Westminster Hall, all the fatigue, the hunger, the pain in my feet and my aching muscles just...went away. For a moment there was an incredible peace. A sad peace, but still...it's the holiest and most spiritual moment of my life to date.

      Three of the four members of my family made exactly the same journey - round about eighteen hours for us. Words cannot describe my feelings going into that blessed place. Strangely enough, I'd spent much of the time walking expecting to be holding back an ocean of tears when I got in there. Didn't happen; the sense of wonderment overtook all else. I'd also had it fairly clear in my head of what I was going to do when facing her coffin. When the moment came, the most appropriate thing I could think to do was a two or three second bow. It didn't seem a sufficiently adequate show of respect at all considering who it was laid five feet in front of me. You, likewise, have my respect, sir, for finding the strength to endure. And it really did take some strength to do it. I must say, they might have chosen something a little less troublesome than those ghastly plastic walkways in the last mile!

There is something almost beautiful about the ability to capture such a tragic loss within six minutes and it consistently brings me to tears. The weight of history captured in this video is overwhelming and the thought that we are witnessing an end to the monarchy of the old world is so powerful. God Save The Queen. She was a symbol of stability and learning from the past to adapt to this modern world. Regardless of your thoughts on the royal family, this was a woman who had not only witnessed, but had been involved with the vast majority of events and decision making moments of our recent history and we are lesser without her guidance. Truly historic. Sleep well Queen, and thank you.

    I did not expect her death to affect me, but it really did. She represented continuity; a connection to events from earlier in her reign and in her life, and the station of Queen (or King) being a connection going back much farther. This type of continuity is literally the glue that holds civilization / culture together, and in a time when a lot of people want to create a new "year zero" and erase the past, it's more important than ever.

    I'm American and my family came from Scotland almost a hundred years ago, but I hope that the British Royal Family never dies off because the tradition and history of it all really is beautiful and amazing.

    The British and my USA will always have each other's backs. It is like any other family that has a spat here and there....but when it comes helping each other, the USA could not have better brothers and sisters. Her address to the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic is one for the ages. I felt a lot better after her address. From Brook Park, MN.

    I Vow to Thee My Country...there is no better music to reflect her solemn vow that she made to us on her 21st birthday and that she fulfilled so flawlessly until the day she died. May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest, Glorious Majesty.

    A beautiful tribute....nearly a year has gone by and I still find it hard to believe she's gone. She was a truly remarkable lady....She did her duty right to the end and I have always had the utmost respect for her. The greatest Monarch this country has ever had. She will always be missed. Rest in Peace your Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

    The flags at the Cenotaph started to hit me, and seeing Trudeau arrive at the funeral. He met the Queen as a child with his late brother and father, and I think the memories flowed back.

    Thank you ,Micheal. Beautifully done. As I was watching the Queen slowly become more frail her passing started to weigh on my mind. I'm 75 and Queen Elizabeth has always been in my life. In the early 70s the Queen and Prince Phillip were on a visit to Canada. At that time I was doing cardiac surgery at Toronto General Hospital. The cardiac ors were on the top floor of the Private Patients Pavillion over looking University Ave. The great thrill for me was seeing the Queen and Prince Phillip
    going up University Ave to Queen's Park in the open Landeau.
    Having watched all the ceremonies over the past days,it didn't really affect me until the Royal Regalia was removed from Her Majesty's coffin. She was gone. No longer with us. How fortunate we have all been to have had such a wonderful,dedicated, kind example for us to emulate. Thank you, Your Majesty.
