Phillip came to me today, and said it was time to go. I looked at him and smiled,as I whispered that "I know"
I then turned and looked behind me, and seen I was asleep. All my Family were around me, and I could hear them weep.
I gently touched each shoulder, with Phillip by my side. Then I turned and walked, away with Phillip as my guide.

RIP

Literally the end of an era, RIP

She was a Monarch, an inspiration and to more than 1 generation of the Armed Forces, the Boss.
A world much poorer for her passing, God bless the Queen

Long Live The King

RIP Your Majesty, you served your country and your people well throughout your reign.



This now means I born under the reign of a King, lived most of my life during the the reign of the Queen and die with another King on the throne.

She came to the throne when I was 4 and has been my Queen ever since.
May she Rest in Peace.
God Save the King

I met and spoke with her three times ... firstly as a young Officer-Under-Training at Dartmouth, as one of two "commanding" an indoor parade of around 150. Then, in command of one half of a parade in the Quadrangle at Windsor Castle. And finally a few years later, playing cricket on the estate at Windsor against the Royal Household team - fielding on the boundary when a land rover pulled up with the Queen and Prince Philip and a few words exchanged whilst they watched.

She was my Queen; the only Monarch I have ever known in my lifetime, as she came to accession just a year after I was born. She was the head of state who appointed 15 Prime Ministers, including Winston Churchill, and has seen the election of 14 US Presidents and actually met 13 of them
She was head of state over 32 countries and 54 members of The Commonwealth representing over 2 BILLION people; almost a third of the world's population.
We will never see the likes of her again.

God bless her.
