It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II who died peacefully at Balmoral castle in Scotland this afternoon at the age of 96.
Her Majesty was the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
The Queen is preceded in death by her husband of more than 70 years, Prince Philip, who died April 9th 2021.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Her Majesty for her long and dedicated service to the United Kingdom.
May she rest in peace.
God save the King.
May the Queen R.I.P thankfully she died peacefully surrounded by family.Shd took the Throne at a time of great change as the Empire was collapsing all around the globe especially the debacle surrounding the Sueze crisis when Britain’s bluff was called and our weak Government merely surrender to Nassars demands.We had a predominantly White Nation not only did she sympathise with the multi culturslist she actively supported them by her open admiration for the Commenwealth idea.Her fanatical zeal for Britain as the Motherland clouded her judgement re the strains put onto our already stretched Housing/ NHS etc.As for her reaching 96 its hardly a surprise best food,medi care ,never had to worry about paying a utility bill and alike .
As a Patriot all l ever wanted was a Monarch who promoted Patriotism instead all we got was internationalism ,sadly the Clown who has took over is of the same ilk.
Wait for the stampede of Nations ,Australia ,Canada etc who now the Queens dead look to cut ties and move onto a Monarchy free Republic as should we in my opinion.
They say that you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Queen Elizabeth II, whom I suspect history will designate as Elizabeth the Great, was taken for granted by most of us who knew no other monarch, no other head of state and no other national figurehead. Her life may have been gilded but it was not always easy. As a constitutional monarch she had to balance her title and position with the realities of democratic government. She had to lead the monarchy through an evolution that kept pace with the changing nature of British politics and social expectations. She had to represent the United Kingdom across the globe, while also winning the affection of her country and her people at home. All this she achieved, quietly, with dignity and with genuine warmth.
Nor was her life entirely happy. She was a queen, yes, but she was also an ordinary woman who suffered family bereavements, problems and sadnesses just like the rest of us. But through it all her high personal standards safeguarded her personal popularity and that of the monarchy as an institution that binds the nation together. And most of all she maintained the pledge she made way back in 1947, on her 21st birthday, when she said: “I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” This is exactly what she did, fulfilling her duties for over 70 years, and just two days ago, though clearly frail, she appointed Liz Truss as prime minister. But now we have a King, and it is the task of King Charles III to leave the monarchy in as good a shape as he inherits it.
