Queen Elizabeth II has died Buckingham Palace announces  

It is crazy that she’s gone she’s been Queen since before phones, moon landings, hell even colour on TV there was a time where I thought she was immortal

As I heard on the radio today: “We knew she was 96, but we didn’t think she could actually die.” Truly, how could anyone imagine a world without Queen Elizabeth II? As an American, I cannot fully understand how difficult this must be for those in the UK, but it’s incredibly heartbreaking. She was a force to be reckoned with and an amazing woman. RIP 💔

I watched this live in Australia at 3am. The moment that picture of the queen came on I started crying. The BBC delivered the news in such a dignified way. The picture was perfect. The reporter was so elegant. Thank you.

"This is BBC News from London." Just hearing that phrase gives me chills. Sincerest condolences to the royal family, as well as the British people. The only consolation is she is reunited with Prince Philip. God save the queen.

"I declare before you all that my whole life, whether long or short, shall be devoted to your service and to the service of our great Imperial family to which we all belong." Devoted her whole life right up to the day. What an amazing woman, wife, mother, Monarch, Leader!

Well done Huw Edwards, the correct amount of respect, solemnity and dignity required for this moment, no other BBC newsreader could have come even close.

One of those moments in life when you will remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you heard this news.

1 month on and still goosebumps to hear that announcement.

Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth II. Sincere condolences to our dear British brothers and sisters. Love from the USA.

I'm certainly saddened that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has passed on. Being an American boy in the late 40's,50's,60's and growing up in Ontario Canada I had been exposed to more news from England and the Monarchy than had I done so in America. Early on I must say I liked the Queen from the start when she became Queen in '53. She carried herself well and sustained the dignity of a queen. She will be missed.

One of the greatest monarchs in the human history has passed. She was not only a witness of WW2 but also a paragon of the constitutional-democracy. May she rest in peace.

Shame it was Huw Edwards who covered it.

I can't imagine life without her here in the UK. She was such a fixture. My condolences to the Royal Family and to all who knew her. And to all of The United Kingdom.

I am not British, but my heart breaks for the UK, as I have always admired and thought very highly of Her Majesty. I’ve read about her in books in school as a kid, and next to Diana, she was one of my favorite royal members. I’m heartbroken, really I am and I’m really going to miss her. She did an EXCELLENT job as Queen and I am so proud of her. Rest well, Your Majesty❤️

Ive been crying my eyes out since she died, Even tho im Norwegian. She was a wonderful human. She was someone to look to for support. She was always there. She was the whole worlds grandmother. Thank you. Rest in Peace❤️ you deserve it

My heart goes out to those mourning her death. This little part of Texas is with you.

An imposing lady who has accompanied me throughout my life. A lighthouse on a rock in good times and in turbulent times. Queen Elizabeth shaped my view of Britain. May the new king master his tasks as skilfully and with restraint as his mother. A model of duty at home and the best ambassador for the people of Britain around the world Greetings from Germany

Sincere condolence from Belgium… The Queen Elizabeth was an icon, a symbol of british culture. A very smart and kind woman with an incredible charism! It’s not only a loss for UK. I’m pretty sure many people around the world are feeling the same pain and sadness. RIP your Majesty.

I was born in a hospital named Queen Elizabeth Hospital at Hong Kong, it was 1975. Thanks for everything.

Sincere condolensces for Her Majesty's passing. When the news struck at 19.32 in Italy, we didn't even realize what was happening in the very first seconds, but this short tribute in a black background was what explained everything without doing so . Simple , Solemn , Graceful message , just like Her Majesty used to be . Even if I had no clue of what was happening , this tribute spoke to me , and spoke to all of us , and immediately I understood the gravity and the tragedy that had just happened . I've bursted into tears , Its so hard to believe that She has passed on because of how much she has been and will be in our memory , forever . May you Rest in the History and our Memories , Lilibeth 1926-2022

I'm an American, but have always felt like the Queen was one of the last real leaders of an amazing era. I guess I always felt like she would live forever 😥

1st channel I came too. Brought a tear. Rest in Peace Queen. Sending love and prayers from the U.S.

As a child of the 21st century, my grandmother loved the Queen, talking and explaining passionately about everything British, and her experience as a subject of the Empire. Hearing this announcement would have broken her heart. The Queen so strongly symbolizes ever-presence, that it manifested into a meme. For most people, a world without her is unimaginable, yet as of today it is reality. It feels like both nothing has changed and everything has changed at the same time. As God Save the Queen plays officially for the last time, with the Queen's portrait slowly zooming in, the sinking feeling that a symbol of stability to 3 generations is no longer with us truly cuts deep. What's worse is I feel the deeper implications still have not really sunken in for me. God Save the Queen. With great love and sadness, from Sarawak.

I love the way this announcement was structured. From the somber but strictly factual announcement of the queen's death itself, to the slow zoom-in on her face as God Save The Queen plays in the background. A majestic way of letting the news sink in.

I'm German, but when the media wrote that Buckingham Palace will announce a message from 7pm, I immediately switched to the BBC so as not to miss anything. When the still image came, in these mourning colors, I got goosebumps. At the latest when the anthem was played and the picture zoomed onto her face, tears ran down my face. It breaks my heart that she is no longer here. She was my queen too. Long live the king, God save the queen. Rest in peace with Philip, Your Majesty 🖤

Queen Elizabeth II was the best monarch I have seen in my life

"This is BBC News from London"...five words to send a chill down my spine. Rest in eternal peace, Your Majesty 🕊️

Even as the citizen of the United States, the news of the queens passing made me tear up. My heart is with the people of Great Britian. God bless Queen Elizabeth II, and God bless Great Britian.

My condolences to the family of Her Majesty. I received the news while in class today on my watch and let out a huge gasp. My heart sunk reading the message. She was an amazing woman and made a great Queen and fulfilled her duties as promised until her sudden death. 🇬🇧 👑 🇨🇦

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of our Majesty the Queen and to her Countrymen and women. May she Rest in Peace next to her dear Prince Philip. May her journey across the Veil and the return to God be quick. Thank you to her for all of her positive contributions. May her memory live on. Prayers for all.

No matter what anyone says, this woman was the most powerful woman in the world. Rest in peace great queen.

I am from Germany and I was in the Uk twice. I always admired her for her strengh and how she represented her country. no matter how well or not well she was doing. how much she worked and still traveled with higher age. may she rest in peace.

One of the last true leaders that spent a lifetime working hard to earn peoples respect. End of an era. May she now Rest in Peace.

I'm not one to be a diehard royal lover, but as a Canadian and hearing the announcement, I stopped what I was doing, stood for the national anthem and got teary-eyed. Thank-you Queen Elizabeth. I also can't help but say "Long Live The King". You have very large shoes to fill Prince Charles.

As an American with deep roots in England and Wales, this was so distressing to see. We dreaded this day, yet never thought it would come. The Monarchy under The Queen provided a sense of dignity, class, and morality hard to come by in this day and age. Over 70 years she devoted her life to not only her people, but the entire world, there is nothing more commendable than that. God Save The King. 🇬🇧

Sincere condolence from Hong Kong, Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth II.

I'm from Paraguay and even I'm sad...I've admired the queen my whole life and I'm sad my kids will never get to see her but I will tell them stories about the greatest ruler in British History

Sincere condolences from Germany. Rest in Peace, H.M. The Queen.

As an American who now has a Union Jack flying at my house, as several of us do in my neighborhood, thank you Ma’am. Thank you all in the U.K. Without you, there would likely be none of us. With deep condolences and abiding love, our American hearts go out to all of you, Family.

from Hong Kong we miss the Queen 😢😢....RIP

I'm from Germany so I don't have any emotional connection with the monarchy as the citizens of Great Britain. But to be honest it's still makes me sad. I can't even describe it it's like loosing a good old friend. My condolences to the royal family. God save the King

My deepest condolences to HRM family and everyone in the UK.

Still Breaks My Heart a Year Later

"The Kin,g and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral ...". For the first time since many years, Bristish people heard of a King. I'm living in Brussels, Belgium, and I was tuned on BBC television when I heard the sad annoucement.

Rip Queen.

As a German I have to say that I have always admired Queen Elizabeth II. She was the lighthouse in the dark. She proved to be stable even in the biggest storm. She had principles and stayed true to them. She served her country during the war and led it through the difficult post-war period when she was proclaimed Queen at 25. A sad day for the world. But now she is back at Prince Philip's side. Rest in peace your Majesty. Condolences from Germany.

“My thoughts and my prayers are with you all now and in the difficult days ahead. But nothing that can be said can begin to take away the anguish and the pain of these moments. Grief is the price we pay for love.” - Queen Elizabeth after 9/11

Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth II

The world has lost a great lady. RIP your majesty, Queen Elizabeth.🇬🇧💕🇺🇲💕

My grandmother's family came to the US about 100 years ago but I still have cousins in the UK. I always followed the Royal family. I feel a great sense of loss as well as much empathy. My condolences to the Queen's family and her nation.

I sobbed when this broke live. I'm sobbing now watching it again

I always admire her for her work ethic and the sacrifices she made for her country. Rest in peace, Her Majesty.

R.I.P To the greatest long reigning Monarchy she will forever be in our hearts and be apart of us I give respect and my condolences to everyone that is in pain and to her family may her legacy live on 🤍

Condolences from the US, Washington State. God bless Queen Elizabeth II and her family, may she rest in peace. She was lovely and will be missed here as well.

deepest condolences from Indonesia

I just teared up again watching this, it’s so unbelievable sad. Thank you, Huw, and the BBC. RIP Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

My deepest condolences to the Royal Family, the world will never forget Her Majesty! Prayers from Italy 🙏🏻🇬🇧🇮🇹

May she rest in peace 🙏

I may be an American, but I still can clearly see the love and respect that the people of the UK-and the world-have held for Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. My heart goes out to all of those who are mourning her passing.

RIP to HM Queen Elizabeth from the US.

Rest in peace. An exceptional person has left this world. Deepest condolences from Germany. 🇬🇧 🇩🇪

With respects and great sadness, I say sorry for Great Britain from Turkey. I admired her and feel grief for her majesty although I am not from her subjects. May her rest in peace. Farewell old Britain, farewell

As a first born Canadian with deep British roots. I remember being taught to give respect to the monarchy. To remember our heritage. Some Kings and Queens have consulted terrible things. That's not what I'm here to say. I only knew one Queen. The same that my Grandfather watched become Queen. He watched his house bombed during WW2 before she took the rein. I just spoke with him in his 84th year about this loss. It was full of memories and passion. I have watched her since 1994, every Christmas address and so forth. She stood strong against many evils we are still currently struggling with. I will always remember her compassion and love for our homeland. I will remember the impact of these actions and pass them on. I just hope the teachings of this marvelous woman are not forgotten. God save the King.

I am from Argentina and despite the conflicts between the two countries, many of us show respect to Queen Elizabeth and not only because of her age, but because she was a powerful and intelligent woman, may the queen rest in peace

GOD bless the Queen, rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the British people. Today the whole world lost a great leader, symbol of time and era, a remarkable woman, mother and wife. I feel very sad and the feeling is just weird, although she lived a very rich, fulfilling and long live, it's not natural to me that she is no longer with us. May she Rest In Peace, God Save Queen Elizabeth II 🇬🇧

I'm so sorry about HER MAJESTY.

From an American. Despite our sometimes massive differences, I want to set aside any vitriol I may have placed against the British/UK at any point in the fog of times past, to espouse my sincerest condolences for this loss. We have been at odds, we have been the truest of allies, we have been both to war together and to war against one another, and we have stood strong against our shared enemies. Though through it all, we are inextricably bound and united in the brotherhood of a shared origin. And I understand that we live, we die, and we enact action in between. But this death struck a chord with me, surprisingly so. I fully believe she may well have been one of the most important women in history, if not the most, and I want to join you (the British people/UK) in heartfelt mourning for the loss of a titan of history, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary the II.

Rip the queen she was a legend to our country 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Lets he honest, no matter what country you were born in, Queen Elizabeth II was the best monarch in history. She worked up until the day she died and dedicated her life and duty to us. Such an amazing and powerful women. RIP the queen.

People of Nepal are mourning she will always be remembered as a Queen of our world rest in peace HM the Queen 👑

So sad.. Though receiving huge money for sitting around or cutting ribbons, she was like a sweet character that was present for the majority of our lives! For the WHOLE life of me and my generation for sure.. We never knew how a world without her feels like.

Condolences from Sweden to the royal family, the British people and people of the commonwealth. It feels strange that she's not here anymore! I'm Swedish but through my whole life Her Majesty, Queen Elisabeth II has always been there on the British throne loyal and steadfast! The end of an era! Rest in peace your Majesty! You will be missed!

Just gonna put my comment here as this very video will become a piece of history. RIP

I am not even British, but I am feeling so sad about the Queen's death. All my prayers are with the British people, rest in peace Queen. From Natal/RN - Brazil. ❤️ 🇬🇧 🇧🇷

RIP her majesty the Queen. You will be missed!

I'm American. And this breaks my heart.

Reading the comments here on the 31st July 2024.

From Brazil. Posso dizer sem sombras de dúvida que ela era muito amada e querida em meu país,e será mais ainda. Deixou um legado magnífico no qual podemos nos espelhar e orgulhar. Estou profundamente triste, ela foi recolhida em um momento que o mundo precisa de bons exemplos e pilares. Em 1968 ela foi agraciada com a ordem Cruzeiro do Sul, e fico feliz por isso. Estou certo que o Céu está em festa. RIP.

Absolutely devastated 💔💔😢😢

RIP to the Queen of Elizabeth II, she ruled the world and to London, she will be in our hearts ♥️😭😭😭

As a 13 year old who is Mexican American (I’m born in America), I can confirm that it was sad that Her Majesty has passed away, after a year of Prince Philip’s passing. Rest in peace to the queen, along with the prince, her young sister, the queen mother, and the husband of her mother I hope your son will do everything for you months after you have passed RIP Queen Elizabeth II April 21, 1926 - Sep 8, 2022

I remember seeing that screen at the start. I saw it live. I got goosebumps man. Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth. One of the greatest monarchs of England.

"It just takes inheritance to become a Queen but it is the unjust and unparalleled reign that makes a true Monarch." Her Majesty, rest in peace 🙏🏻

From 🇮🇪 IRELAND, I wish to extend my sincerest condolences and sympathy to all members of the Royal Family and to the 🇬🇧 British people at this sad time on the recent passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Despite turbulent past histories, Irish people held Queen Elizabeth with deep affectionate regard and respect. King Charles will be a wonderful Monarch and our best wishes for a long and happy reign are sent from your neighbors and IRISH friends today from across the pond.

My condolences to the entire family and the United Kingdom. I come from Germany but it hurts. She was such a great Women and Queen not only for the United Kingdom. I think for many people outside of the United Kingdom she was not A Queen she was THE Queen. Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth II

Hey Brits, American here... I know we had our differences in the past, but I just want you to know I'll add her in my prayers tonight, and wish you all the best. Rest in Peace.

I was at work in the afternoon when I saw it and when I got home later my dad was watching tv I walked in and said turn on BBC and there it was

From across the Atlantic, I offer my condolences. Rest in peace, a Gracious and Noble Queen.

I grew up watching Queen Elizabeth. I believe she missed Prince Philip. They’re together again now🙏🏾
