So sorry. She was a great lady. It’s the end of an era. Condolences.

What a lovely message.

She wasn’t just Queen of the United Kingdom but some say she was Queen of the World.

Although she had an amazing life I wouldn’t have wanted it.

Duty before self.

A characteristic seldom seem nowadays.

Yes, She became Queen the year I was born, and I am old now. My mother always loved her. DW and I loved her too.

I dont think we have people like her anymore.

Being a francophone from the province of Quebec, I cannot call myself a fan of the British Monarchy.

 

This said, Queen Elizabeth II really set the highest possible standard about what it means to be a Head of State.

 

Her service dedication to her country and the Commonwealth was exemplary. Her poise, her class, her attitude, her steadiness even through the most difficult moments deserved the utmost respect and admiration, even from a Frenchie like myself. 
 

Queen Elizabeth II spent most of her long life under the microscope of public scrutiny, and nothing negative was found or reported, on the contrary! Very few celebrities and Heads of State have been able to cope with that constant pressure.


Her courage, attention to details and her ability to show empathy when it mattered were all exceptional.

 

Her departure signals the end of an era. I don't think it will be possible for anyone to emulate such a long and unique leadership!!!

 

R.I.P Queen Elizabeth and my most sincere condolences to you all from the United Kingdom!
