  3. I can think of no individual who has ever served as a Head of State - any State - who could match the grace and dignity with which she carried out her duties for nearly three quarters of a century. Rest in Peace.

  4. For many people in Britain, she was the only monarch they ever knew. Truly this is the end of an era.
    She will be missed in so many places.

    Requiescat in pace, Elizabeth Regina

  7. When I was in the Army, from time to time, there would be military balls where foreign officers would be present. Raising of glasses to toasts would always done in the initial stages of the evening. The British, Canadian and Australian officers always seemed to
    be the first ones to propose a toast. It was as if they were anxiously awaiting the moment, and would seize the opportunity to be first.

    Their toast was always “To her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth!” I always thought it curious that the Canadian and Australian officers were just as eager as the British to propose this toast.

    The American and other foreign officers toasts were boring in comparison. Some would toast the infantry, some for generals and some for Presidents, if they were conservative. But none of them had the enthusiasm rivaling the British ones for the Queen.

    To all of those who toast to the Queen, my condolences.
