Thought the ceremony at Windsor was achingly emotional.2

I'm trying to remind myself she was 96 and she lived a great life.
It's still a sad time though and this has all happened rather quickly.
I told my amazon alexa to play classical music. It certainly maximises the sorrow by quite a lot!
Edit: I feel a sense of emptiness.
Rest in peace queen elizabeth Ii

Always feel grateful that my various immigrant ancestors ended up here, so I was lucky enough to be born and bred and raise my family in this wonderful country.
After these past few days, and particularly after today's awe-inspiring events, I feel extremely privileged to be part of this great nation.
RIP your Majesty, your people loved you and we always will.

Yes, it is an unexpected sense of emptiness.
I guess it's a feeling of acceptance creeping in.0 -
It's been slightly odd how the media have completely dropped other news for a week, whereas you know from tomorrow they'll revert back to all the other things which were happening before this period0

I coincidentally started watching The Crown on Netflix the week before last.Had been meaning to watch it for a while.Only got 3 episodes in and the news of her majesty’s death broke.Just sat down to episode 5 tonight to watch a young Elizabeth trying on the crown.
Had to stop watching.The last week or so just doesn’t feel real. Kind of surreal, movie like, and I think it’ll take everyone a long time for things to feel normal. Especially as lots of things will be hitting us for a while yet.Over the next few months and years we are gonna face so many changes, changes to things we’ve never given a seconds thought to in our lifetime.God Save The King when England play.A Kings Speech on Christmas Day.New money, New stamps. Each one another reminder.3 -

Been a lot of emotions stirred over the last 10 days. If anyone is struggling in any way, make sure you reach out and talk it out

Apparently there are loads of verses including one about defeating the Scottish and Catholics. Not sure that one would have the same feel.0 -

Not really fair on them to be put through all of this.
It's been very emotional. Beautiful even in places.1 -

Anyone who wants to sing the other verses go to Ibrox park when Celtic are in the away end.0 -

Royal Thoughts:
Charles and William are in a strong position as King and Prince of Wales and Andrew will now have a one way ticket to the Falklands Islands where the sheep will run for the hills.
Harry and Megan will realize that the Monarchy has reclaimed it's status since the death of Diana, plus the reaction to the death of the late Queen and H+M will continue to make money in the states but may well decide to tow the royal line now and not swim against the royal tide.
The timing of the Queen's death this year was sad but it was ideal for Charles and Camilla who are looked upon as soul mates now and not people who cheated on their partners especially to Princess Diana who suffered with mental health issues when her husband was unfaithful from the start.
Hell hath no fury than a Princess scorned in the media age and she did have many lovers in the last chapter of her short life because she wanted to be loved.
What a difference with 26 years ago when Queen Elizabeth upset so many with her initial reaction to Diana's death. When PM Blair had to inform QE2 of the public mood and not listen to her advisors and keep quiet.
I feel really conflicted about yesterday and the last 11 days when it was clear that we can spend a fortune on a Royal funeral but the homeless will return to the streets of London and our relatives or ourselves will lay on trolleys if the ambulances can even get to us in time.
If only we could run the UK like the way we are world leaders in Pomp, Pageantry and Funerals.
The juxtaposition is there to see.

Quite like this selection of photos, although none from the Windsor procession sadly which I thought was more touching/personal.0
