Funny story:
My grandfather was born in Cyprus in 1944 when it was still a British colony. In school, they had to rally beneath a Union Jack flag pole every morning and sing the anthem

And till this day, even though he doesn't speak any English, he still knows the lyrics to the anthem.

I'm 53 years old, we used to sing this every morning in elementary school. Now we're not going to hear it for a long time. You were like a mother to us. RIP my queen

Directly came here after the passing of his royal highness, prince Philip. Rest in peace 💔

The fact that this song will never be heard again until the next century at least sent chills down the spine.

God Save the Queen.

"I declare before you all, that for my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service."
"I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice; but I can give you my heart, and my devotion to these old islands, and to all the people of our brotherhood of nations."
"I believe in our strengths and our qualities. I believe that together we can set an example to the world."

-Her Majesty The Queen, 1947

Everyone: “God save the Queen!”
God: Sure thing!

[nicolaplaca]

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen;
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.

Whether you're a monarchist or republican, you have to admire the Queen as a person. She has been an excellent head of state and public servant for many decades. God Save the Queen.

[raczinger]

That's actually sweet of Prince Philip to sing "God Save The Queen, " knowing that the Queen is his wife and the mother of his children. It's like he's saying "God Save My Wife."

I visited London less than a month ago. I would have never imagined this was going to happen so quickly after I was there. It seemed so peaceful at the time. God save the queen. 🇺🇸

[borpleterski]

That's so british my drink turned to tea.

[Shaggysballs]

As a American we truly send our deepest condolences towards the Queen and all of you. Much love, Long live the Queen! Rip 1926 - 2022, She made a deep impact to the world with many more centuries following in her legacy!

[El_Imperator_Del_Territorio]

I am from the United States, but God bless your country and God save the Queen! Happy Birthday to the Queen!

[remymartel]

September 8, 2022, a date that will mark the end of an era, of elegance but above all of one of the greatest women in the history of humanity. Strong emotions seeing these images from 11 years ago only…

RIP
