So you do care some based on your wording , or are you just a muppet and need another try at that phrase?  I’m betting it’s the latter..

She's missing her true vocation - she speaks the language of Shakespeare....almost literally; not too far off accent wise from his part of the West Midlands
The accent from that area certainly takes some getting used to! Really bosting it is....

Met her when I was around 6yrs old at a function in Dubai, of all places. Notable because I had this little tin cartoon lunchbox that I made my dad carry, while he was among all these dignitaries.

It's funny, not remotely big on Monarchy but I suppose it's part of who I am as a Brit.

Do you understand how the monarchy works? They are Head of State and Commander in Chief of the military, not head of government.

I'm actually sadder about this than I thought I would be.

https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/163640/Queen_Elizabeth_II_jpg-2518895.JPG

As the Queen for 70 years, she was a driving force behind the special relationship between the
United Kingdom and the United States. In one notable example, on September 12, 2001, the
Queen requested that the Star Spangled Banner be played during the changing of the guard at
Buckingham Palace in a show of solidarity with the U.S. after terrorist attacks killed nearly
3,000 innocent people on American soil.

She was a class act and the world is diminished by her passing.

Nobody does state funerals like the Brits, and this one will be epic.

I will probably see it on television and once again ponder what I always do when I see the pomp and circumstance:

Where do the Brits get all those marvelous hats?

As a head of state who truly set the example of Honor, Duty and who also never failed to exhibit the dignified class of a bygone era for her subjects, my sincere condolences to our British cousins.

RIP ol gal.  She was a true shining example of class.


(The folks here who came in this thread to spew BS hatred is a sad example of how our educated society has hit bottom, you should be embarrassed but of course you are not. The Queen served her country valiantly, and she should be commended for her service. So much bitterness and the urge to be "edgy" or different in some negative way will lead you no where, your parents should be ashamed they raised such a fucked up person to end up being like that. Total trash.)
