    Before he passed away, my uncle was close protection for the royal family. He told me a story once about how he (about 6 foot 7) had to lift and carry Her Majesty in a training exercise. Every time he did, she was making silly jokes like "ooh, I can see my house from here!" and "The air does get a bit thinner, doesn't it?". Always stuck with me. Rest in Peace

Coming from a country where it’s illegal for women to drive, he didn’t expect the Queen herself to get on the driver’s seat and use her wartime skills as an army driver to basically Vin Diesel her way through the Scottish countryside, all the while constantly talking to him. To say the prince was *shooketh* is an understatement.

    She was a truly amazing woman and I can't believe she has gone. She had a wonderful sense of humour, but also she kept to her vows and gave our nation 70 great years of service and kept going right to the end. But she was not only our queen, she was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother to her sons and her grandchildren. My sincere condolences and love to the royal family at this time of mourning. Thank you ma'am for a long and dedicated service to the nation. You will be sadly missed but your life will never be forgotten ❤

    Paddington's quiet, "Thank you for everything" about broke me. It's almost like they knew this day was coming. RIP, your royal highness. I hope you're now resting in peace wherever you are because you more than deserve it.

      They probably did, and also knew that this would be a perfect farewell to her for when eventually this day came. That doesn’t mean they were cynical, but they certainly thought ahead. And honestly for me, they succeeded very well in doing so 😞

    I think it's kinda sweet to see moments of her with her family cause she's so separate from most of society that it's easy to forget that at least 20 children have looked up at her and called her "Gran."

    I, of course, always knew she would die one day but it still caught me off guard. She almost seemed like a representation of everything British, purely timeless, it’s hard to see her as mortal as the rest of us. May she rest in peace, there won’t be anyone like her for a long time.
