The Queen is dead. And after such a long life, grief should be balanced by gratitude , sadness measured with thanks. Not all the British are monarchists but almost all of us loved his Queen.
The Queen is the last of a generation who were children at the start of the war and hound adults at the end. Stoic, brave, good humoured. They served - their country, their family. The paid for our freedom and raised is in peace and prosperity. They never whined. Thank you, ma’am
Some may find the outpouring of British shock and grief at this moment quaint or odd, but millions felt affection and respect for the woman who uncomplainingly filled her constitutional role for seventy years. 1/2
