    1. It was expected but it is still such a shock. Our Queen, a dedicated servant to us and the Commonwealth who carried herself with grace and dignity. Her whole life was devoted to her country, a stalwart and a figurehead who was loved by so many.
      She will be missed.
      May she rest in peace.

  5. Very sad news. Rest in peace your majesty and thank you for all that you for your years of service and all you did for us.

  6. May you rest in eternal peace your Majesty. A wonderful example of a great Royal. Such dignity and grace,
    truly an example to us all.
    The world will have lost some of its sparkle.

  8. Rest in peace your Majesty , United with your beloved husband Prince Phillip .
    Thank you for your 70 years of service to our country and the Commonwealth .

  9. A very sad day. We all knew it was coming but it is painful nonetheless.

    RIP Elizabeth II

    God Save King Charles III

  11. That’s not very christian…Our queen served her country for more than seventy years and was a person who deserves more respect please. She also drove ambulances during the blitz in London during the war. She did not ask to be queen but served her people with dignity. R.I.P

  12. Could you do her job? In the eyes of God we are all equal may she rest in peace and rise in glory to be with her beloved husband

  13. Well said Tobi
    She will be missed throughout the world as a wonderful lady
    Anne and I will meet up with you and Nélio in November
    🍺🥃

  14. Thank you for everything you have done for us your majesty. my thoughts are with everyone in the Royal family at this difficult moment. RIP Queen Elizabeth II

  16. Time is nasty. First it takes the firmness and beauty of youth, then it takes everything. I won’t lie. I don’t particularly care about another person dying, but I guess for the Brits it’s important. Royal family fanboys.

    1. If you have nothing to say then don’t say it. Obviously Queen Elizabeth and the royal family in general are more symbolic to the British people than other countries. However the British people are our friends and when our friends are in collective pain for a loss you should be sympathetic towards them. That is what normal people do.

      2. I had something to say so I said. You, of all people, shouldn’t be telling people what to say or not. Your comments all read like a troll’s.

      3. Collective pain…please, this isn’t a nation being torn apart by wore, and no one here knew her personally. You, on the other hand, can’t feel sympathy for accident victims and blame them admonishing them to be more careful when they weren’t in the wrong. Spare me the hypocrisy.

    2. I don’t think you particularly care about anyone except yourself. The only thing to leaven this very sad occasion is the knowledge you infer to not being British.

    3. I cannot comprehend this ‘Lavinia’ person – whether male or female, the fact of the statement ‘I don’t care about other people dying’, OMG !!! Never heard of empathy? because the majority of people do. Our dear Queen was loved by billions all around the world, not just us Brits Pity you couldn’t keep your mouth shut previously when you twisted the knife on people’s grief a few weeks ago if you didn’t care. Don’t think anyone will feel a loss when your turn comes.

    1. Right back at you Michael. All this will blow over in a couple of days and all the hypocrites pretending to be sad about a stranger’s death (a woman who lived a long, pampered existence at that and died peacefully) will be virtue signaling about the next scandal or headline. Predictable and funny.

      1. Lavinia – your comments on this are deeply offensive. As many have already said – please keep your views to yourself.
        Tobi – please consider the upset these comments are causing to many many people

  18. Lacuna!! If you haven’t got anything nice or empathetic to say then don’t say anything at all.

  20. RIP our beautiful Queen

    Phillip came to me today,
    and said it was time to go.
    I looked at him and smiled,
    as i whispered that “I know”

    I then turned and looked behind me,
    and seen I was asleep.
    All my Family were around me,
    and I could hear them weep.

    I gently touched each shoulder,
    with Phillip by my side.
    Then I turned away and walked,
    with My Angel guide.

    Phillip held my hand,
    as he lead the way,
    to a world where King’s and Queens,
    are Monarch’s every day.

    I was given a crown to wear
    or a Halo known by some.
    The difference is up here,
    they are worn by everyone.

    I felt a sense of peace,
    my reign had seen its end.
    70 years I had served my Country,
    as the peoples friend.

    Thank you for the years,
    for all your time and love.
    Now I am one of two again,
    in our Palace up above.

    Sleep tight ❤️

    1. Donna, just beautiful. Made me, hubby and mum weep. Nearly a year since dad died so very poignant for us all

  21. I would imagine that there will be a service of remembrance at the English church sometime in the coming days and I am sure that many will want to attend irrespective of which church they attend normally.

  23. Tobi removing this disgusting evil Madeiran from the blog? You have more chance of the queen coming back to life.

  24. Lavinia is entitled to her views, which used to be known as free speech, and many would agree with her. But, clearly they are not welcome on this thread, which has descended into bullying. Very worrying that everyone MUST have the same view….. Similar to totalitarianism.

    1. Elsie, of course everyone is entitled to their views and it would be a terribly uninteresting world if we were all to agree. Good blogs, are where people disagree, very good blogs are where people agree to disagree but try to change another’s mind by reasoned argument. I assume you fear Lavinia is a victim of bullying. Don’t be, she laps it up. She relishes each contribution that disagrees with her. It gives her a reason to rise in the morning. I came across a cod quotation this morning that sums her up neatly, “The piece that passes all understanding.”

  25. I have read both blogs for many years and you get used to regular posters style of writing and their responses( although I don’t post on the other blog ) .
    No one knows if L is Madeiran or female . Just saying.

  26. Sorry Tobi but as you continue to post these spiteful and hateful posts by Lavinia I am deleting the app and not renewing my subscription.

  28. The sun has set on the British empire…in fact, it set a long time ago, this is just symbolic. I do feel very sad that some of you are so fragile that you are offended by a difference in opinion and worse, calling for silencing and a bubble. Many of your comments seem silly or even ridiculous to me, but I don’t feel offended by them and don’t think you should be unable to write them. I wouldn’t dream of being upset by something a stranger thinks. As I said, the sun has set on the British empire and we live in an age of grown men crying for safety from typed opinions.

    1. We’re not on the same boat. I may have controversial posts but I am not spitting hate on anyone, not as individual nor as a collective.

  30. Well after reading all this comments it seems like washing clothing in public eye no need . Nothing else to say.
