R.I.P

She was an amazing woman.

Let's drink to her memory (with Earl Grey tea of course).

You've been such a rock and support for so many people for so long. Now you can be at rest with your husband, your lifelong partner and your own steadfast rock.

Thank you for the gift that was your life of devotion and duty. You will be a great loss.

RIP.

There are few world leaders, from any country, from any era, who are going to ever be so well revered and remembered.

The account of her driving the Saudi King, to his great displeasure, though it's but once incident in a long life full of many stories, tells you everything you need to know about her character.

When you're so boss, you don't even need a driver's license.

Godspeed from the rebellious colonies.

Though not a fan of the Royals, she has my eternal respect.
London Bridge has Fallen Down.
Fallen Down.
Fallen Down.
London Bridge has Fallen Down.
My Fair Lady.

I moved to the UK 20 years ago from USA.  I wasn’t a Royalist at all but this remarkable woman changed my mind.  I totally am in awe of her.  What a life!  What a woman!  I love here dearly and she will never never be forgotten in hearts and history!  Rest in peace Lizzy you so deserve it.  You did your bit for all the world!

Many condolences to all of those in the UK on their loss.

Many condolences to all of those in the UK on their loss. The World is a sadder place now.

Yessss one less fascist.

While she for sure had her flaws, calling her a fascist might be going a bit (or a lot...) too far...

Nah. Ask any African person. Piece of shit colonialist billionaire, lionised by lifetime of propaganda.

Keep the ugly politics out, please.

I'm of Irish descent and an American that knows some history. There is a lot I'd say about the British at various points in history, including my own lifetime, but fascism isn't on the list. Certainly not regarding Elizabeth.

Perhaps you're confused about what the word means.

Regardless, this is inappropriate on a thread meant to mourn her death. If you want to celebrate the death of another human being, perhaps make your own thread to do so in and leave the mourners to their mourning, like any decent human being would?

Yes, please. The death of a person isn't exactly the thing that should be celebrated, regardless of your views of them.

I ask the same of you. Quit celebrating a colonialist, it's incredibly disrespectful to the millions of victims of the British Empire.

I’ll just report your ugly, inappropriate comments if you can’t be polite. Cheers.
