London Bridge Is Down (2024) 

4:10 This was 2 days before the Queen's death and she must have known she was at the end of her earthly life, and yet look at that smile on her face. Absolutely radiant. Does that look like someone who is afraid of death, or someone who knows she has made good use of her life and awaits what comes next in joyful anticipation? Her humble and simple Christian faith is inspiring.

As an American, the passing of the Queen affected me so greatly because she was the last world leader of the early 20th century. She served in WWII. Worked with Churchill. She met with JFK. Saw man land on the moon. The rise and fall of the Soviet Union. All the way through the largest pandemic in history. She had unparalleled wisdom from this breadth of experience. Her loss is a loss to all of humanity.

A truly and remarkable woman, even though I'm not a British citizen, I've always looked at Her Majesty with the utmost respect. Sometimes I miss this feelings with our Royal family. A salute from a Royal Dutch Marine.

Even after nearly 2 years of her passing, her loss is still hard to accept. God Bless The King

This is truly lovely. The way she glanced at George W Bush before she spoke cracked me up. I had never seen that before. We had a lovely monarch and I honestly thought she would never die, which sounds silly because everyone dies eventually but I think like other people, I took it for granted she was there and always would be. 8th September 2022 was certainly a weird day and a jolt to realise nobody is immortal. Even Queen Elizabeth II. Thank you ma'am for your wonderful and long service as our Queen. You will never be forgotten

A beautiful and moving tribute to our late Queen. Thank you.

Queen Elizabeth had so much wisdom. She ascended the throne at a time when women were not world leaders anywhere. She bravely took the reins and never looked back. She was a dignified example of female leadership and benevolent authority. She was a wonderful woman and I miss her presence in this world.

Got me the most when i saw her corgis sat waiting for her at the end,not knowing that she's never coming back..💔😭 RIP Your Majesty QE ll 💜

Her entry into Buckingham Palace was one of the most touching moments of the those mournful days. The police escorts bowing their heads and the crowds lighting her way with their “torches” are images I’ll never forget.

We're all mortal. The great leveller of Kings and paupers, Lords and commoners, Republicans, Anarchists, Socialists, everyone: death. We all knew she wouldn't live forever, no matter the singing we did for her as we sang the Anthem of the United Kingdom. No matter the words of her coronation, "May the Queen live forever"... we knew she would not. But she was a fixture of all our lives, whether we were supporters of the Crown or detractors. She was always there, always putting the best face of the People of Britain to the world. On every coin, bank-note, post-box, stamp. Her title engraved on all ships, and attached in some way to all serving Military personnel. The UK for just over 70 years had the same head of state: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Losing her, whilst I never met her nor knew her personally, was like losing a part of my childhood and youth and early middle-age. The world changed in an instant, yet remained the same. The same thing happened that has happened to all who came before us and will happen to us and to all who follow us. Yet, for that moment, things were... odd. Gone. A fixture of all our lives simply removed. In an instant, we were no longer subjects to a Queen, but to a King - whether we personally accept it or no, the truth remains. I miss seeing her or hearing about her, or listening to her Christmas messages. It's so strange to instead listen to the now King Charles. I still think of him as Prince of Wales. He was that for longer than I have lived, before I was born he was Prince of my little section of the UK. Now he is King, and the young lad William is now my Prince. So strange. So moving, even though I never thought such happening would move me as much. God rest you, your Majesty. Thank you for your service. Your job is done. Farewell.

When I heard the news in Colorado, I was preparing to fly to London that evening for a vacation planned months before. I can't express what it felt like to be there during that time. I'm an avid royal watcher and always admired Queen Elizabeth's grace and dignity.

A wonderful tribute. Still find it difficult to believe she is no longer with us.

She will always be remembered as one of the best monarchs of the kingdom

The Queen's funeral helped me see the beautiful landscape of Scotland and England as well as the traditional finery. Thanks to all the television channels for telecasting each and every detail.

As an a American, Queen Elizabeth II was the only British Monarch I knew of. I was born in 1953. She was a dynamic woman and shall be missed. RIP Elizabeth. Once again you shall be with Philip in a Heavenly countryside. 💐

Prince Philip was definitely the uncrowned king. Once he passed away, Queen Elizabeth was truly heartbroken. You could tell she would join him shortly.

Beautiful tribute to a wonderful Queen, rest in peace your majesty.

Almost 2 years have passed and we all miss her terribly

I so enjoyed hearing King Charles speech again and getting to see video of Queen Elizabeth. I am American but , I really liked Queen Elizabeth as she was such a graceful and wise Lady. She always put her best foot forward in all she done and was such a pleasure to see. I miss her terribly and can only guess how much she is missed in the U.K. . Sending my love to the Royal family and its peoples.❤🇺🇸🙏❤❤❤❤

Had me in tears, Proud to have served in Her Majesties Armed Forces. The Queen was surely Heaven sent

My grandson was born the day Queen Elizabeth passed. What a day it was for sure. Tears of joy tears of saddness...... A day I will never forget.💔❤️

As a Dutch citizen, I knew more about Queen Elizabeth II than I did about the Dutch monarchy. HRH Elizabeth was an iconic person, who was loved the world over. I lived in NZ as a child and I remember seeing her majesty at a distance. I was upset with her passing and watched the funeral. I admired her majesty for her humour, love of animals, dedication to her duties, and most of all her loving smile.

She became Queen the year I was born in America in 1952. I still mourn. She was truly a remarkable woman. There will never be another like her.

Wow. I don't mind admitting, every time I watch something like that, my tears flow throughout. In no small way we have her influence and example to thank for the excellent King that we had now - but, what a loss! In that last scene she is surrounded by royal relatives who were born in the Reign of Queen Victoria (l. to r., Princess Marie Louise, [Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the Queen's uncle, squeezing in front of] The Earl of Athlone and Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone,) and then you begin to appreciate the enormity of royal influence her lifetime spanned - no less than ten generations, with family links to half of Europe!

Even though I am an American, my heart completely broke 💔 when I heard the news. She was such an incredible woman.

Had me in tears. My daughter and l, 72/51 years....were part of the hundreds of thousands of those that waited 15 hours in the queue, that snaked its way through the streets of London to pay respect to our late Queen. We never sat down once, too afraid that we might fall asleep, as we had travelled by train from right up north. David Beckham was a few feet in front. The only celebrity not using his fame to queue jump. We finally got in at 1AM. It was emotional to see the coffin draped in her flag/ her crown & sceptre. R.I.P. ⚘️🇬🇧

I have so much respect for QE, being part of the Commonwealth makes me proud to say that she was our Queen. Rest easy your Royal Highness😢

She was a Great Queen. The years to come will show her strength and compassion. We mourn. She taught us well and so Long live the King.

Such an amazing family. I have always admired them. Prayers for a full recovery for King Charles and Princess Catherine. Love from Texas.

My paternal grandparents immigrated to the US from the UK in the 1920's with their 2 oldest boys. My father - the first born in the US. My Nana followed the RF religously when we were growing up. I feel as though Queen Elizabeth was my Queen as well, the only one I ever knew off ( like many). This still brings tears to my eyes.

Change is becoming constant. Managing it has become an expanding discipline. The way we embrace it defines our future.

Beautiful tribute for a beautiful and most dutiful Queen. From Canada 🇨🇦 🍁♥️

So respectfully presented, so profoundly significant…so painful to watch as saying goodbye throughout this piece was so difficult…thank you for sharing *ERII*

There are many Queens in other royal families. But HMTQE II was the Queen of all Queens... the Queen of the World, being the role model of what a good, pleasing to God human being, and lady ought to be. Like many people from the UK, HMTQE II has been the only Queen the world has known almost all our lives.

Charles absolutley looked so stunned, it must have been so incredibly painful yet it was shared with the world. I do hope that both King Charles and Princess Catherine recover well from their cancer diagnoses. ❤❤

I was born in Jamaica so the royal family has always been of great interest to me. I have always had a great respect for the late Queen Elizabeth. I love her fine example of true courage and devotion. She was real. May God bless and comfort all her family members and all who mourn her passing. My respect and prayers for King Charles, William, and their wives especially. Very touching narrative.

Aww shes with her Philip now. I think she died of a broken heart. R.i.p your late Majesty 🙏 🤲 🕍 🕌

I remember the day vividly I was at school in the USA and it was during lunch that I got a text by the Royal family channel and it said the queens health was deteriorating and so after lunch when we got to our English class we prayed for her since I go to a private school and we thought she would be fine but during the last hour of school at 3:00 pm my history teacher comes in and says that the queen died and then the next minute I get a text from the Royal family page on Facebook saying that the queen died and at that moment I was frozen in my seat I couldn’t move I couldn’t speak I just stepped out of the classroom so I could be alone.

I deeply admired the queen

Our Queen R.I.P FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺

Didn’t intend to cry like a little baby tonight. Can’t be helped! There will never be another Queen Elizabeth.

As just a rude American, I have to say, this touched me more deeply than I can truly understand. Yes, for me, too, Elizabeth II was the only royal I had ever known, an eternal constant. The woman was a font of wisdom, grace, and humor, a shining example of faith, honor, and duty. I'm not ashamed to say I was in tears for most of this tribute, and I can't even tell you for sure why. Except for this: the world is a diminished place without this grand lady in it. God save King Charles III, may he rule with half the grace and wisdom of his mother, he'll be remembered as a good king and an honorable man. This was a beautiful tribute to the longest reigning British monarch, may she rest in peace, reunited with her beloved Prince Phillip.

She showed us how to be better human beings. Wonderful tribute God bless her❤

I wish they would have included the vigil by the Queen's 8 grandchildren on the day following the Vigil of the Princes. Seeing William, Harry, Beatrice, Eugenie, James, Louise, Peter and Zara together paying tribute to their grandmother was a profoundly moving sight.

I'm from Louisiana, live in DC - and just called Balmoral Gift Shoppe as soon as I heard The Queen was ill. It was the only number I could find in Scotland and all I could think to say was We Love You. I would have stood in the line, too! 💜💛💜

One of the Greatest Queens ever existed! ❤️

London Bridge is Down Words I always dreaded The finality of the loss such a great Woman and Monarch. Irreplaceable.Thank you, Your Majesty.

King CharlesIII your final speech on the occasion was absolutely impeccable and you said it all with a great depth of feeling. God bless you. Amen.

A woman who totally understood her role & honoured it to the best of her ability. Stoic, polite & with humour. RIP Elizabeth 2nd.

As an American, I do feel like she was also “one of us” as so many Americans are of British descent. I was actually in England the day she died and was able to watch the many shows on TV about her and see how devastated the citizens were. RIP good and faithful servant.

Als Nederlandse zit ik dit na 2jaar weer te bekijken en weer moet ik huilen.

Thank you for posting this tribute to Her Majesty.

Great video for a great Queen. She is missed from Florida

As a French admirer of Her Majesty, I came from Paris to join the great queue on the first night and I will for ever feel inside my heart the wonderful unity of the British people on this historical occasion.

I miss Queen Elizabeth 2nd very much

I don't know how Charles made that first address to us all without tears rolling down his face. I'm sitting here two years later in a flood of tears as I watch this. I almost didn't watch it because I knew it would be so upsetting to relive.

I really feel her loss , I grew up with HRH Queen Elizabeth II 🕊🦋 May she rest in peace

I believe it takes special people to be a member of monarchy. They are being scrutinized and criticized and yet stand loyal to their birthrights. They make UK 🇬🇧 stand out in the world as true royal. God bless the King and his kingdom.

😢😢😢😢I THINK WE ALL SHED TEARS THAT DAY..EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS 96 IT WAS STILL HARD NEWS TO HEAR..REST IN PEACE YOUR MAJESTY..

What a beautiful tribute to the late Monarch Queen Elizabeth.

I’m from South Africa but I’ve been in the UK for 7 years and after tons and tons of royal videos I’ve watched, let me tell you this was such a surreal thing to see. I never thought I’d ever witness having two monarchs reign in my lifetime.

Not, just the UK. But the states as well. ❤ God Bless and God speed.❤

As a five year old I watched the coronation on television, a television purchased expressly for that purpose. For as long as I can remember the Queen has always been there and the reality of never seeing that amazing smile again is heartbreaking. She gave so much to so many. God bless our new King and Queen. May they enjoy a long and happy reign.

Thank you for doing this. The Queen will live in our hearts for ever

The original plan was to fly Her Majesty's coffin from Edinburgh to London but the plans were changed so that the country could better pay their respects as Princess Anne, the Princess Royal and her husband Sir Timothy Lawrence accompanied Her late Majesty by road. There were mounted riders and farm machinery lined up beside parts of the route back to our capital, as marks of respect, and silent crowds also lined the route through towns and cities as the cortege passed. It was nighttime when HM Queen Elizabeth II was driven through the gates of Buckingham Palace for the second to last time, as London waited to bow their heads to her as the cars passed through. Rest In Peace, Queen Elizabeth II, with Philip, Margaret, Mama & Papa... Together again.🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧

This tears my heart out as she really was a Queen to the World stage. I truly miss her grand motherly face smiling at her people as she walks among them.❤💔🇺🇸

The melody of london bridge is falling down playing over videos of the young Queen made me so teary.

No words can describe how this person served this country and commonwealth ,from start to finish, she will never be forgotten RIP my Queen. God save the King .

When they were making her funeral plans in the beginning, she joked about she can’t pass away in Scotland at Balmoral. She was in her 20-30’s at that time.

The footage of people at the mall holding up their phone torches to "Light her way home" was very powerful. Reminded me of the wands raised scene in Harry Potter

This was a beautiful, thoughtful & respectful take on this huge change that happened in our country. Thank you to all that worked so hard on producing it. I don't mind sharing that many tears filled my eyes throughout as I watched. Our wonderful Queen Elizabeth II gave us all here in the UK so much. Much more than I think she realised. I'll quote HMQ when she spoke about Prince Phillip, that in fact & indeed she, has been our "strength & stay" for the entirety of our lives. We will miss her & she'll never, ever be forgotten! 🇬🇧

What a wonderful show and tribute. Thank you for posting it.

You know I still can’t really believe her Majesty has gone. Being in my mid sixties, she has always being there. RIP

Very sad but loved her my only queen I knew and will sadly miss truely,.

Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth II We LOVE You and Will Forever Honor and Remember You

King Charles, say what you like, is a fine orator. He does speak eloquently, like a Shakespearian actor like he was in his youth.

Thank you Ma'am, for everything.

A beautiful tribute ❤❤❤

It was history in the making , only people born before 1952 had seen a state funeral of a monarch.

15:41 watching The Princess Royal Princess Anne deep curtsey to her Mother just makes you even more tearful 🤍🕊️

A very fitting tribute to a modern day legend in British history by millions of people. Vale Elizabeth R.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this tribute and cried all the way through it. RIP Queen Elizabeth II.

The death of queen margaret was brought sadness to the Philippines coz she loved filipinos❤❤❤❤❤❤

Still makes me so sad. Only sovereign I’ve ever known; as an American I have always been interested in the royal family. I’d have loved to have met and talked to her; she lived and participated in so much history.

The Queen passed away on my 21st birthday, this day was surreal and almost didn't feel real, even today I do believe the country has not recovered. Her majesty was a beacon of light throughout the nation, a grandmother to us all.

Beautifully and respectfully put together. God bless her in rest.

There was an ominous sinking feeling that smothered the nation.

No KING or queen in the world will be as well respected and loved as Queen Elizabeth

This was a very good documentary , tastefully presented . However , as one who had attended a briefing some time before on plans for this inevitable event , and knowing that it had been Her majesty's wish to end her days in Scotland , and particularly at Balmoral , she herself had drawn up meticulous and specific plans for operations Unicorn and London Bridge . Most of her wishes were carried out , but there was one significant departure . It had been Her Majesty's express wish that her final journey , from Edinburgh to London should have been on The Royal Train , steam hauled , down the East Coast Main Line , and with her coffin on view in the observation car at the rear of the train to allow as many of her subjects as possible to see her as she passed . I was saddened that this wish was not carried out , probably due to security , or merely safety , concerns with many thousands of mourners most likely lining the route and getting too close to the tracks . However , instead of the bland grey transport plane that was used , given Her majesty's wartime service and her pride in it , it would have been far more fitting to have transported her to London in the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster Bomber , flanked by an honour guard of Spitfires and Hurricanes , which could have taken Her Majesty on a final tour over her Realm , and giving her subjects a chance to see her fly by and say farewell . the Spitfires could have even been flown by some of the Royal family , most of whom are qualified pilots , and this would have been a sight many people would have been inspired by and filled with pride at , and something I'm sure Her Majesty would have approved of .

GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS!...😊

Service over self.... rest in peace... I am proud to have served in your armed forces

Im an American and considered her our Queen as well

I was born in 1966 and Queen Elizabeth II was the only monarch I ever knew. She was such a caring and gracious lady and fulfilled her promise wonderfully and she never put a foot wrong. This was a beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady and she would be so proud of King Charles , he learnt from the best. RIP your majesty, you are still greatly missed and thank you for watching over our ancient land for 70 years.❤❤❤

What a great tribute to the Her ROYAL HIGHNESS Queen Elizabeth II and may God bless her family ...

She Served her Country with Honnor & Grace !!

She was a trust gift and an example to the world. I pray future leaders study her reign and principles.

I'll say this. Her passing was indeed tragic, but not unexpected. We all knew it was coming. I understand that many mourn her, but you should also celebrate the long span of time she was The Queen, as well as her service before she took the throne. There were obviously ups and downs in her reign, but she carried on with that indomitable British Spirit. An active and spirited woman to the end as noted by the photo a short few days before she passed. My Mother was born November 18, 1939 in Newfoundland. At that time they were a British Commonwealth, which meant they entered into war with much of the rest of the world. She always loved any news of The Queen, even after she moved to Florida with my Father in 1961 when he was discharged from the United States Air Force. I never told her she passed. In the waning months of her Alzheimer's she would not have remembered. Mom died March 8, 2023. I like to imagine her reunion with the friends and family we've lost over many years, including her two daughters. I also imagine them introducing her to Elizabeth II.

This was beautifully done. With coming to terms with the death of the Queen, I had no idea how busy King Charles and Queen Camilla were. All of his speeches were heart felt and lovey.

The passing of the Queen affected me because I believe she was one of the greatest leaders of the United Kingdom. It isn't easy to lose such a wonderful human being that served during WWII as a young teen to provide aid and bring medical needs to the Blue Cross. It made me aware how wonderful she was when they tried to get her to leave London Princess Elizabeth refused but to stay to help her country in any capacity. At that time Princess Elizabeth would drive a jeep to provide aids everywhere she was needed. Even as she got older, she still drove her jeep in certain rough areas when she had to go through rough terrain. I loved that she enjoyed all the presidents especially JFK, which I believe JFK held special bond with her after meeting him and discussing politics. So much she has been through, but the worse part was having to deal with Royal drama at home when she should have been going easy due to her age. I learned she was very ill but never knew until she passed away. No one should have to go through hardship at her later years as she did in her 90s but met with the last prime minister before her death. Always doing her duty no matter what the course of her life dictates. To me she will be a woman of strength and courage which she brought in the next 21st Century during her time. May Queen Elizabeth II, be at God's embrace and may she RIP.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second. Your legacy shall ever remain. Thank you for your service of 70 years! Signed, your many American friends!
