Elizabeth R took the throne when Stalin and Churchill were still in power, before the launch of Sputnik, before the Polio vaccine and before anyone ever heard of Elvis Presley. That's crazy.

I'm from India, and People who disliked, don't know what a great man he was and his kingship saved England as well as allied side.

Today, he would be so proud of his daughter, the Queen!

King George VI did not want to be king yet he took up the heavy burden of kingship to serve as God had ordained for him.

Heartbreaking at the end. He was waving goodbye to his daughter and that was the last time he ever saw her. He was an honerable man with strong inner strength and good principles.

The days when people removed their hats out of respect. I'm not a monarchist but there's no denying the emotion of this piece and the adults in the film who'd lived through the dark days of WW2. My mum who was 28 years old in 1952 told me that for days after his death the only music you could hear on the radio was funereal. I suspect for that generation it must've been as if God had died.

Now Queen Elizabeth II has passed away she will be remembered for being a wonderful woman, who held the uk as an iron fist even after the collapse of the British Empire, the uk were still strong because they had her majesty the Queen alongside them

In Geelong, Australia, I remember my mother bringing in the morning paper. She unfolded it and leaned back against the door:The King is dead, she said softly.

'I declare before you all, that my whole life, whether it be long or short...' It was 96 years long, and we thank you for your Service, Your Late Majesty. God is good.

Few remember these days that HMQ missed the chance to say goodbye to her father because she was doing her duty and was on a official tour at the time of his unexpected passing .. She ended her reign as she had started it doing her best to serve the British people .
