Sad News

To all my friends here from an American-- my sympathy to all who mourn.
Queen Elizabeth came to the throne the year I was born. She was just plain always there. When I was a kid, it was always "Queen Elizabeth" rather than "the President of the United States" who was held up as the model of decorum and proper behaviour under any circumstance. I guess I will not get to have tea with The Queen now.
Well done, thou good and faithful servant.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II - may you and Prince Philip enjoy the rest of eternity together again.

From a fan in the US who can always remember her being a person to look up to as a role model.

Thank you, our friends across the Pond (and many other ponds). Your empathy and good wishes are appreciated.
