The Queen is dead, Long live the King!

An uncommon person with a common touch.
She made the world a better place and will be remembered as Elizabeth the Great, how fitting is that......

She had a good run.

This is a very political topic to some. Let's keep it at a high level please...

Great bio of her from watching "The Crown." Enjoyed it.

She was indeed a classy lady.

Politics aside, Apparently she had a little experience as a “mechanic“during WW2 and liked to drive, which could warrant mentioning her passing on this forum.

Remembering Queen Elizabeth II, The Gearhead Monarch

On the occasion of the Queen's state funeral at Windsor Castle, we're remembering her lifelong love of driving.

I have found the pictures of her in WWII interesting…

i always found the Queen to be a fashionable icon - impeccably dressed ... i love her hats. family aside, she focused on big picture items. she will be missed in many ways.

The story goes (E&OA) that about 15 years ago she was by herself in the outback of Balmoral when she broke down in her Landrover whilst forwarding a river. In her "wellys" she inspected the vehicle and sent an alert out to rescue her. She instructed to bring a new front half shaft with tools so it could be fixed in the field, so she could carry on her journey.

From all I read she was indeed a great and honorable person fully deserving of her Queen title.

She was a true and true lady.
In 2011 on an official trip to Ireland She showed herself publicly to be a true friend of the Irish people and showed us she had a genuine interest in developing peace across both the Uk and Ireland .
She was definitely a woman of great integrity and someone who definitely deserved the respect that she held.
May she rest in peace.

We won't see her like again. A bulwark.
