A Sad Day

As I was taking this picture, news was breaking of the death of Queen Elizabeth 11. In the words of our prime minister: "In a complicated world, her steady grace and resolve brought comfort and strength to us all. Canada is in mourning." My heartfelt condolences to all who are grieving the passing of this great woman.

A sad day…been watching the news all morning in the USA. May she Rest In Peace with her Prince, reunited again. She worked until the end when her frail body finally gave out…a remarkable dedicated life.

We are devastated, even though we knew it couldn’t be long. She really has held this country, and the Commonwealth together for many decades. Thank you for your kind words and beautiful photo.

Thank you Heather. This wasn’t totally unexpected but I’m not ready for the great changes this will bring. The Queen was always there and represented stability in a turbulent world. An amazing lady. What now?

Pretty seed capture. A sad day for us all she has been Queen for such a long time it will be very strange to have a King.

What a beautiful image and thank you for the words. After this morning's state funeral, am feeling a little tearful.

@boxplayer Yes, it's quite emotional, isn't it? Such a sad and significant time.
