As the world mourns Queen Elizabeth II, British citizens living in Tulsa are sharing their stories of growing up in the United Kingdom.
2 News Oklahoma spoke to one man who moved to the Sooner State just a few years ago. Andrew Squance grew up in southwest England but moved to Oklahoma after marrying an American from the Tulsa area.
"Most of the population of England that's like, she's all they've ever known," says Squance.
Squance says while he never met the queen personally, he still has fond memories of her. He says he’ll always remember when she came to town and the entire school went to see her.
"We lined the streets with little flags and we waved the flags and even those moments, you realize how big of a deal she is."
He says he's even brought some of his family traditions involving the Queen to his Oklahoma family.
