My prayers are with all the UK. I am an American but broke into tears. The Queen was a true gift to the world and will be missed world wide.

I am a Brit in the UK. I didn't really have much interest in the Royal Family, but I almost gave way to tears and got goosebumps when I heard this and the PM's speech. The most famous lady on Earth has just passed. It was a day we knew was going to happen, but wierdly also thought would never really happen. RIP to her

When Philip died and I saw the Queen sitting alone at Windsor, I thought to myself that she would not live long without him. She fell in love with him when she was 13 and he was in her heart for 82 years. Now, hopefully, they are reunited. Rest in peace, Your Majesty.

In my country, we had a beautiful belief that if you were given an honor to die a peaceful death, it means you're incredibly kind and had brought nothing but goodness in this world. Same thing with my grandma and grandpa. Both died on their sleep. Not once did we brought or had they suffered in the hospital. Simple, kind-hearted old folks who went to church everyday and help their fellow humans despite their social status.
When prince Philip passed away, we know its only a matter of time. For such an extremely long marriage and partnership, the other half will definitely miss and would want to be with that other half of her. You're ready to let go of this life to be with your soulmate, the other half of you.
RIP the Queen. What an extraordinary legacy!🙏🏽
