When I found out she died I feel like a bit of me was lost she was such an icon and an inspiration to many we will miss her

[wayneelliott]

Went about the day as usual with the occasional disconnect as the realisation she's dead intruded. She was a constant in our lives, always there whether we agree with the monarchy or not. RIP.

the Canadian one actually felt genuine to me idk, it made me sad to hear

[christinaking]

I was in a pub down Cornwall when I found out. I sat and cried

[charliecharliewhiskey]

Only thing that made me sad there was that the Aussie said his heart goes out to us in the UK. She was your Queen just as much as ours. My heart goes out to the Australian people for the loss of our shared Monarch.

God Speed my Queen and long live the King.

The amount of pressure that the family has been under, it’s so sad and an unexpected turn in life. Long live her majesty.

May the queen, a prolific and wonderful individual, Rest In Peace.

[jono]

Forever the queen of hearts.. R.I.P❤️🇦🇺

Wow the silence in the Canada one made me cry

[martinconnors]

I'm proud to be a subject of the Commonwealth. Both British and a Canadian. We loved our Queen

[metalcore]

Never known life without her, 48 years old RIP

Man it’s just weird going about the day knowing that the queen has died. She’s been ruling as queen longer than most of us have even been alive.

It’s a weird time that we live in

[stephentaylor]

What I loved about the rest of the world even countries that weren't part of the commonwealth they still regarded our Queen as their own as well.
Thank you to all the countries around the world that gave the UK the support we needed it was much appreciated

*sigh* I respect the Queen with my heart this is a extremely sad day to remember this woman. She didn’t try to rule the world or anything like that but she tried to bring peace and happiness to the world and make it a better world. Maybe that will happen a second chance. The Queen has been in my life and she is the nicest person even though I have not met her. And if I did that would make guilty now.

ROYALTY LAP OF LUXURY WHILE THE POOR SUFFER.THEY ARE PART OF DYNASTY'S VERY WEALTHY AT THAT, WHO CONTROL THE WORLD ECONOMY..

[kovaci]

Love or hate her she was a strong woman, the family is a shambles but can only imagine how much worse it would have been without her as the matriarch

[jasonswift]

So sad she was a wonderful woman who ruled with dignity and grace and composure for 70 years that is remarkable. RIP her majesty Queen Elizabeth II 😥

Ah, I see the comments section is as cancerous as ever.

When I first found out, I could not believe it. Even now the word 'king' feels alien or related to another time.
