She was really Britain’s greatest asset, the real gem in diplomacy that many nations were envious and wish they have.

Even if you hated the Queen, it just made business sense to have her! God Save The King!

The British monarchy in its contemporary form traces its beginning to 1066 CE when William I (William the Comqueror) won Edward the Confessor's throne. It is, therefore, almost a millennia old, making it among the oldest behind Japan. As for the queen, her committment to duty, foresight, dignity, and intelligence made her a formidable leader. As a lifelong head of state she would become one of the finest diplomats in modern history. She does deserve credit for achievements that kept Britain relevant since the end of its empire.

The reason why a monarchy head of state is so good is because you have a head of state that doesn't have to declare their political bias. The problem with presidents, let's take America for example, is you have to meet with either a republican or democrat head of state. That can sometimes make it difficult to build relations. Where as a monarchy, especially Britain's monarchy, can do what the British do very well. Sit on the fence and make light friends rather than enemies.

The ultimate working woman. Queen Elizabeth did her job beautifully. We will miss you. My favourite anecdote is Driving is illegal for women in Saudi The Prince came to visit the UK Our cheeky Queen picked him up from the Airport.. i would loved to have seen his face!

I love the driving history with the Saudis. Amazing!!! A woman really in front of her time. She had with or without intention, an immense control of power.

The world is so used to having the queen. Everywhere in the world, the queen was always a big deal. The UK and the world have indeed lost an icon. And the world is definitely not going to be the same.

A great segment showing the importance of the British Monarchy.

In the small town in northern British Columbia where I grew up, a 50s-era portrait of the Queen still hangs in the curling rink; and one taken for her Golden Jubilee - in Canadian regalia - hangs proudly in the Legion hall. The Queen may not have been in the forefront of our daily lives, but the affection is real.

Fantastic coverage from channel 4. I've been really impressed. Learned a lot about the royal family's state in the world and the history of the queen. And none of it has felt bias or one-sided. All smashing reporting.

Strong women she was deal with country’s leaders, travelling ,preparations ,work after work load of work family A women of steel, there won’t be another equal 🌹rip

This poem is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II may she rest in peace Queenie I love the Queen she was never horrible, never mean She was a wonderful head of state, with all the worlds problems on her plate, Like politicians destroying her country, upholding traditions and all their superstitions She was assiduous to her duties, carried out with Grace and Beauty, she Devoted her life to the service of this Country A dutiful wife, bringing life, bearing the sorrows of her nation! Regal and Sovereign, a Jewel in the Crown Of gods beautiful creation✨❤️‍🩹

Channel 4 has done a really good job covering the death of the Queen.

Aside from being a great tribute, this just shows how important the monarchy still is to modern day Britain. King Charles III may have a bad rep and a state visit with him will probably not have as much weight as it did with the Queen. Just bear with it for a decade or so, and King William V may well get us back on top of the soft power game again.

I remember taking flights with TAROM Romanian airlines around 1993 and being surprised to fly in aging BAE aircraft rather than the Soviet or Boeing planes more common at the time. Now, 29 years later, I have discovered why!

Well if you hold state visits for literally everyone you’re bound to get some calls right eventually

This is making me cry.

The late Queen Elizebeth used her softpower to persuede the commonwealth during a period of decolonization to not fall under the geopolitical and geoeocnomic influance of the Soviet Union. The Queen was quite astute of geopolitics especially the role of the UK in world affairs of international politics. But the queen also knew you cant sustain a facade of so called Brtish dominance and Western dominance of world ....it will backfire one day and we are living in such times. Queen Elizebeth dance with Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of the great nation Ghana helped her to see how she could enjoy great civilizations and cultures in freedom and space without being controlled by the political elite at the time. This where you could see how '' political soft power''' made space for real genuine interest, appreciation and respect especially in a time where people where raised with western supremacy and domination as normative thing.

While we mourn for HM QUEEN ELIZABETH 👸🇬🇧,I request Australia or Newzeland or canada never opt to be republic .This is our real mourning for HM QUEEN ELIZABETH 11 ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼 As a Christian I have love and duty to tell you this. God bless you. God BLESS UK God bless HM IMPERIAL RULE 🇬🇧 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

A great tribute to the Queen. Thank you Channel 4

The most amazing Queen

The Queen is a beautiful soul .She advocates peace in the world. She came to Ireland and asked for forgiveness for wrong doings of old. We forgave ,because of her asking and apologising . PEACE to the whole world

All those complaining about cost of the monarchy should watch this.

The world’s greatest woman

Queen Elizabeth 2 is a great person I have to say

She's the last of her kind! None of the heirs have her charisma & mystique that has sustained the monarchy for decades

‘purely ceremonial’ and ‘soft power’ are completely opposite ends of the scale. Defence of the monarchy because they are purely ceremonial is factually incorrect, otherwise this video would be less than 30 second long. To have any sensible conversation about them requires us to be honest about what they are. Their power is real and constant so the right ‘time and place’ for that conversation is in fact, all the time, despite royalists who want that time and place to be never.

Responding to "UK in midst of possibly the biggest security operation in its history after death of Queen | 7.30", my prayers are with The Right Honourable Sir Edward Young, KCVO. May God bless Your Majesties and Your Royal Highnesses and Your Majesty's family overseas, may the good Lord bring you peace, and may the Holy Spirit guide you during the turbulent times that lie ahead.

Really. When our Country suffers Mass social and economic problems. Let's not forget our Assyylum seekers.. 40 years of incompetence useless corrupt governments 👎🇬🇧

Have you ever wondered where leaders and monarchy even came from in the first place ??? Like do you honestly think someone just invented it one day ??? It's quite simple in ancient times we studied nature and the stars They did what any respectful doctor would do that observed there patient. Nature is our patient if we look after and heal nature,Nature will look after and heal us in return. Nature provides everything we need to live and heal from sickness and pain. In a sustainable way. Not this destruction of the world for self interest We are the creator's so let's build magnificent cities again like Egypt Or Ankar wat with its beautiful canal systems like beautiful arteries feeding the whole city with the nutrition it needs Or the inca water systems that were like lungs supplying the city's with life giving natural pure water. There was nothing else to do but imagine possibilities in those times hardly any people no TV no phones they looked to the stars and dreamed! How do you think people like the Egyptians found out that putting moldy bread on wounds would help heal Because it had penacilin in thousands of years before penacilin was invented in the so called modern world Anyway back to my point leaders and monarchy came about from studying bees and ants. Probably the greatest species on earth the one without we all die. The queen it's soildgers then it's workers! That's what our system of living was built of there foundation for that was from observing the greatest species we know of bees and ants. Unfortunately bees are dying out because bees also heal humans in a different way they let of some kind of theromone that heals humans. So yea does that make our society system make more sense to you! King/queen/president. Soildgers to protect the king /queen/president. And finally you the workers who die to feed and build for the king/queen/president. Very simple design if you really think about it isn't it !!!!!! We have advanced as a civerlization because of social conditioning. But we have devolved mentality wise because of social conditioning. We no longer have free thinking individuals in society or very few. We have you could say society clones from cultural condioning of the materlistic society we live in. It's time we went back to our roots of nature and evolve as a species again. Then and only then will we be able to make hundreds of thousands of years of progress in the same amount of time of the modern stock market. I know what I would choose! What would you choose??? Follow know one be your only leader in life! Lead from your heart not your minds! Find the courage to loose your self judgement,shame,fears and insecurities. And be beautifuly you in all its glory just like nature

Lovely piece The Queen was the best of the UK.

She was declared a honourably man😂

Longest living monarchy? Denmark's is at least as old and Japan's is much older.

The queen was the greatest salesman the world has ever known. Nobody comes close to the numbers the queen has bought to British coffers.

Channel 4 you have exceeded your great coverage it would be good whilst reporting on these monachs I would like to see footage on the late Queen Elizabeth ii and his emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia 🇪🇹

Not just saying this because the lady has passed but the Queen managed EVERYTHING better than her husband.

Wonderful. RIP HM

Watch these you ignorant anti-monarchies! I am not even British, but I admire Queen Elizabeth II greatly. RIP E•R

Impact of former British colonies Generation feels that return stolen wealth gem & jewelry Which means owe us reparations immediately Royal family = Looting families

"British exports to the region" - which were...?

Isn't Japanese monarchy older?

RIP our queen

This is so sad.

Louie the 14th was the longest monarch for 72 years

What about the Ethiopian Emperor Hilesilase?

Should be presented by Mr Chomondley Warner If this was being ironic it would make good satire but unfortunately it isn’t

02:52. We don't have slaves here anymore, your royal Highness. That's what happened.

Sounds like she was sending exactly the wrong message to the muslim world.

😂 the monarchy being praised for helping rid the world of racism … hahahahhahahahahahahahah amazing

The 101 th Asth'maul Husna is Virgin

We are Great Britain not Britain

王侯将相宁有种乎？

your having a fucking laugh

For Ms Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor as a person, I have such great admiration. I don’t know why. Is it karma? I liked the way she moved her hand. I liked how strong she remained in her position. So much happened in her long life, and through it all, she stood like a mountain. But as a queen? I don’t know. If she had apologized for the genocides, looting, robbery, enslavement, and all the other atrocities committed by the British, around the globe, then I may have liked her as a queen too. But that won’t happen now.

urgent. message from #Allah and #prophetmuhammad about dajjal and syirik in #muhammadqasimdreams

Enough. She was a good figurehead and an awful mother.

No to vaccine passports, mandates or lockdowns

Over it, she had a good run on the Tax payer

Call it luck or whatever but DJ Trump got the last state visit to our Queen and brought his whole family and that's history from now on. I hope to see him in the state funeral of the Queen Elizabeth the second 💪🏽🛐✝️📖🇬🇧🇰🇪🇬🇧✍🏽🙏🏽

UK couldn't comprehend that you should NOT HAVE A 96 YEAR OLD WOMAN, HOLDING A COUNTRIES POWER. That really was a huge mistake that's why she was a weak queen holding power. Too old to hold power. Who doesn't get it still❓

LOL. She started as regnant of 32 sovereign states and left us with only 15.

😁😁😁😁
