Now I'm very much NOT in favour of the monarchy...but...the Queen has, I think, served the country very well despite what you may think about her privileged life and I was surprised at how sad I felt when I heard the news.
End of an era.

Aye. RIP your majesty.
Can't really believe it myself - as you said, complete end of an era.
God Save The King - feels very weird.
Agreed with both of the above posts and I think the Queen will be the last monarch to benefit from such respect.
RIP
Charles will be the fifth monarch to hold the throne in my lifetime.
RIP
IT / The games will probably be off this weekend?

Friday's games postponed but Saturday as normal up to now.
Monarchy is a living museum, harmless relic with no power or authority. A tourist attraction.
No-one can possibly feel threatened by it and the Queen conducted herself impeccably throughout she'll be missed. RIP.
Her comment to the US President after 9/11:
“Grief is the price you pay for love.”
I was paying my respects at the Menin Gate Last Post in Ypres last night. At the end of the ceremony the crowd burst into “God Save The King”. I don’t know her highness had passed away
She seemed quite nice, but her sister was a party on legs! RIP to them both.
