In a world where chaos often ruled, there was one who stood apart.

 

RIP Queen Elizabeth II

Technically, no, he's already King Charles III (not Philip, Arthur or George).

He hasn’t stated what his regnal name will be. He could still be George

Apparently, it was the first decision of his reign...

Condolences to the Royal Family near and far.

 

Being Ex military I polished Her brass Crown on my buttons, belt buckle and hat badge for 11 years. Just after I retired they changed all of these to plastic. This is not going to be a cheap exercise through out the military & emergency services and throughout the Commonwealth.

 




Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

I have greatly admired the Queen and am sad to hear of her passing. Nevertheless I am not looking forward to unrelenting and repetitive news on this one story over the next week or so.




Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

The end of an era without doubt. She belonged to a more civilised time.

Long live the King.

Very upsetting news this morning. She held a certain grace in all her appearances. King Charles will have some big shoes to fill

She may have started in somewhat more civilised times but I believe she brought that civilisation with her throughout her reign. She alone stood out and above the rest of the world leaders. She personified the motto Keep calm, and carry on.
