Very sad news from Buckingham Palace this evening. A great loss to our country, our commonwealth, and our planet.

Incredibly surreal.
But we are fortunate as a nation to have been served by someone with her steadfast loyalty and passion.

A great example of servant leadership. And as a god botherer myself, a true Christian. She will be missed. She accepted her duty and lived for the country. She can now be at rest.
The Queen is dead, long live the King

This.
Exact same age as my gran (minus a day or two), but has lasted a fair bit longer.
Ever present for basically all of us. Such a surreal event.
I care little for politicians, don’t have a religious bone in my body, but being a part of the Royal Air Force - even though my regular service was brief - was something special because of the connection to The Crown.
The funeral is going to be the last of it’s kind.

I feel I speak for many when I say, I have not been able to concentrate most of this afternoon whilst listening for any news.
Most of us never had the honour of meeting her majesty Queen Elizabeth II, however we will all feel this loss deeply.
Rest in peace, Ma’am.
God save the King.

The Boss.
The most diligent, conscientious monarch.
It was the great honour and pleasure of my life to serve her commission, to wear her uniform and to bear her divice.
A dreadful day. She is irreplaceable.

Does anyone know the protocol for personal conduct during national mourning?
I feel as though I should be conducting myself in a certain manner. But I don’t know how or why or what. It might be because I’m off and pretty isolated from the usual day to day.

You could check Debrett’s, but I doubt outside of uniformed circles that anyone else will know / care / notice.
