Brilliant to hear someone speak with so much intelligence and insight about the Queen. Thank you Simon Schama. RIP Queen Elizabeth 💙💙
Professor Schama it's wonderful to see you.
She worked so long and hard, and will be so missed. 😢
Worked hard, counting her money
The Queen's passing is sad on its own merits but it's especially poignant that we've lost her & Gorbachev in the space of few days; both were political & diplomatic giants who helped peacefully transition huge geopolitical entities through contraction & loss of influence; both being replaced by relative pygmies.
Indeed she was. Rest in Peace. She was a rock for many decades, known to the world, of many generations. It is especially distressing, in light of the barage of related bad news of today.
Rest In Peace and rise in glory.
The commonwealth was not new. Its character changed with the independence of the colonies during the 50s, 60s and 70s. Its spirit remained tied to the idea of fealty to the former empire , which provided the foundation for continous power brokering by the British, both Crown and the state working hand in hand.
RIP
Seville and Andrew nice center.
We really don't need a special relationship. We have little in common.
Only that pesky language meaning that we share vast amounts of culture whether you admit it or not. And that common law system.
@@MackerelCat you have to speak some language
A passing of a Totem. For many a world turned up side down moment. I prefer my head of state, elected.
So sad he did acknowledge the absolute criminal imperialism and colonialist history.
The English are now no longer gravitationally tethered to the earth due to the loss of the queen. Enjoy the endless night of outer space Britons!
Yep Britain was Victor in the war thanks to us the US
I don't care about Queen Elizabeth. I didn't vote for her. #notmyqueen
