    Having heard the news of Gill’s passing today, I echo the same words given in respect of the Queen:
    “Thank you, m’am… for everything.”
    Rest in peace, Gill. Thank you sharing your personal story and perspective of history… and for your gift of English education for so many.

    I was born in Leicester a month after the coronation, and I still have the memorial coronation crown (5 shillings) my Dad bought all his children. I now live in Canada. Every Christmas I would tune in to the Queen’s message and make my family watch with me.

    Even for me, a person who's never lived in the UK, it was such a sorrowful, heartbreaking news. Her Majesty's portrait has always been hanging in the English class along with the map of England and portraits of other distinguished British people. Since very little I used to perceive The Queen as an irreplaceable symbol of British culture.
    Also, even though I'm a child of the 2000s, I've heard a lot about the efforts Her Majesty put towards building diplomatic relations between Russia and Britain, especially in a tough period for Russia after the Soviet Union. Many people who were lucky enough to have a talk with her note how courteous and attentive she was. She is definitely remembered here for her immaculate manners, amiability and truly British sense of humour.

      Queen Elizabeth visited Russia in October 1994, met President Yeltsin, attended state reception at Kremlin and then spent a day or two in St Petersburg, including The Hermitage. Chatted to Russian schoolchildren studying English. This was the first ever visit of any British monarch to Russia. Previously she met Gorbachev (who died just a week before the Queen did) in London. Prince Philip went to USSR (Kiev) in 1973, first ever royal visit to Soviet Union. He called communists ‘the bastards that killed half of my family’ (in 1918). Anglo-Russian relations were the best in 1890-1917 when Nicholas II paid many visits to Britain and British royals to Russia, then in 1941-1945 when we had one common enemy, and finally in 1985 during Gorbachev/Thatcher and Yeltsin era. Putin came with state visit to UK in 2003 and it looks like he genuinely liked everything including the Queen. I doubt the Queen ever liked him. Or Russia. Or Germany. As many Brits she thought that Russians cannot be trusted. Despite sincere anglophilia many Russians had then and some still have now.

    I bring my sincerest and deepest condolences for you and for all the people of the United Kingdom.
    I have so many words and epithets to describe my current emotions. But it is hard to express them fully. The last days have been really hard to me too. In some moments when I recall the image of Queen Elizabeth my heart was getting broken. Her Majesty will be missed for the rest of our life. I remember when I've heard about her the very first time. It was my 2nd year of the ground school here - in faraway Russia. My English teacher told us about the Queen. It was about 17 years ago. Since then I observed news about the Royal Family and listened to Queen's statements many times. I wasn't able to imagine this world without Her Majesty. She inspired us so much just only by her presence. She was beautiful woman and remained her beauty all her life💔🥀

    I was Cónsul of Perú in London many years ago and had the opportunity to visit Her and get yo know Her. Really very simple and charming person.
    I also had to grant "Paddington Bear Passports" that British children ask me to do so when they travelled with "him" to the European Continent.!!
    What a beautiful and remarkable Time !
    Thanks you Gill you are a great Teacher ! We love you very much!.

    Thank you , Jill. What a sweet memorial to your Queen. ❤️ As an American , I too , watched her funeral. And am sorry for your loss. The sketch with Paddington was awesome ! I always enjoyed the Michael Bond series , as a little girl. It is a shame that people have to protest the monarchy at such a sad time. I think the royal family is important , as a representative of living British history. It is true , that their family was not perfect. But , I hope I will live to see Catherine on the throne --- She will be a very beautiful and kind hearted Queen. 🌹

I’d like to share that she was an inspiration for me in those days that I felt sad because her powerful figure makes me chills and understand that I could be like them even though I wouldn’t.

    @devjanichakraborty6204 2 года назад +1

    Dear Ma'am Gill,
    I have watched and lisented to your speech on the Late Queen Elizabeth,the second,who has passed away very recently.She was one of the oldest monarchs,and had reigned for such a long period,and was like a mother to the entire nation ! It was very nice to hear your childhood memories with your mother,having gone to see the Queen !
    Though,as a child,when we read fairy tales and know about Kings and Queens our mind creates a picture that fascinates us so much but as we grow older,we feel that being the King and Queen is not an easy job ! It requires a lot of courage,a great deal of patience and a sense of responsibilty to shoulder this tough job !
    Though these qualities are necessary for all those people as well,who want to be successful in any field they choose for themselves !
    Ma'am Gill,i am very much inspired by the way you have shaped your life as a professor !
    Thank you very much !😃

    • @devjanichakraborty6204
      @devjanichakraborty6204 2 года назад +1

      Ma'am Gill,
      I have misspelled the word 'responsibility' in the above text by mistake.l feel,i should correct it,if i am aware of it and all the more when i am writing to a person,who is a Professor of English ! 😃

    • @devjanichakraborty6204
      @devjanichakraborty6204 2 года назад +1

      Sorry Ma'am Gill,for another spelling mistake.It should be 'listened' in the very first sentence !
      Sometimes,while writing errors do happen by mistake.Hope,you will be kind enough to bear with it and excuse me ! 😃

I was born and live in a republic and I am actually far from the idea of having a king or a queen, but I do appreciate your moving love for the institution and the person, and have a profound respect for the different view you all have about monarchy. It is the beauty of being different, isn't it? Thank you for sharing.😘

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts teacher. Above everything, her positive rule during the II World War is incontestable and her support to her Prime Minister Churchill, crucial to the victory of the allies. It was touching the video with extracts of her whole life and her concerns (on her own voice) about our existence in this world. It was posted by the former Brazilian President, who rendered her formal honours too.
    Happy to have discovered you at internet!

    Dear Gill, my deepest condolences to all the UK people on the death of the Queen. She is truly the legend! During my school years I have learned a lot about the Royal Family, we had it in our English language class program as the key feature of the UK culture, the heritage. I visited UK (London and Scotland) in 1999 but unfortunately had no chance to see Her Majesty, so sorry I never will. Indeed, she was the only Queen we all had, I personally felt like she would live forever. What I would like to say, here abroad we know very little bit about the people of this family as persons. With great pleasure I watched "The Crown" series in original language, digging out compatibilities in the internet, between the series and reality. The overall impression of the Royal Family, gained from the series, makes fall in love and deepest respect to Her as a person and as a leader.

    I'm definitely against monarchy but I always respected and even adored Elizabeth as a person because she took her job very very seriously and without bitterness although - I'm sure - she would have preferred another sort of life... very much like her father who didn't want to be king, either. Just imagine: never being alone, never doing just what you want... so sad

    Good evening teacher!
    How are you? I spend most of my time watching videos from you. My only prayer is that the Lord God be with you all the time.
