Although we have no loyalty to any monarch, she was a remarkable woman. Rest In Peace.

Last head of state who was a World War 2 veteran.

The Queen ordered the band at Buckingham Palace to play the Star Spangled Banner after 9/11.

I consider myself as much of a red blooded American as the next guy but for some reason this makes me sad.

So sudden!

I know she was very old, but never heard about any problems with her - except this morning someone mentioned it on radio that she “wasn’t well”.

Too bad. Class act.

And there goes the classiness. This will not help how international affairs go.

Yes, a written statement was just placed on the gate at Buckingham Palace stating that the king and queen will return to London tomorrow.
