If it is her time to go, I hope she has an easy time of it.

I totally agree. I hope that it is peaceful and that she is not in any pain.

Precisely. The Crown passes immediately upon the death of the previous Monarch, as it did when George VI died in his sleep, no-one knew Elizabeth was Queen until several hours later.  

Queen Elizabeth II has passed away, https://news.yahoo.com/queen-elizabeth-dies-96-buckingham-palace-173246365.html .May she RIP.

She has been Queen for as long as I can remember, it will be odd without her for sure. I guess it will be King Charles III.

We all knew this day would come but it's the most horrible shock. And yet nothing has changed which is the beauty of our democracy.

The biggest star in the world has gone.

Her end was mercifully quick, only two days ago she was photographed - a smiling old lady- appointing Liz Truss as her 15th Prime Minister.

Your picture is not showing. Can you post a link to it? Thanks in advance. 

This is President Trump's Gab post.

"Melania and I are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Together with our family and fellow Americans, we send our sincere condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom during this time of great sorrow and grief.

Queen Elizabeth’s historic and remarkable reign left a tremendous legacy of peace and prosperity for Great Britain. Her leadership and enduring diplomacy secured and advanced alliances with the United States and countries around the world. However, she will always be remembered for her faithfulness to her country and her unwavering devotion to her fellow countrymen and women.

Melania and I will always cherish our time together with the Queen, and never forget Her Majesty’s generous friendship, great wisdom, and wonderful sense of humor. What a grand and beautiful lady she was—there was nobody like her!

Our thoughts and prayers will remain with the great people of the United Kingdom as you honor her most meaningful life and exceptional service to the people.

May God bless the Queen, may she reign forever in our hearts, and may God hold her and Prince Philip in abiding care."

There are 101 years between the birth of her first PM and her last.

Yes, stamps can be produced pretty quickly but coins will take longer. Edward VIII reigned for 11 months and no coins were put into general circulation at all, but stamps were.

I don't mind admitting that I'm utterly distraught at this news, short of deaths within close family the passing of the Queen will be the most traumatic for most Brits. It's as if the very foundations on which we stand have shaken, but we'll go on of course with our new King Charles III.

This is the picture I tried to post earlier, our new King.

Well stamps, coins & regalia are important, but your economy has fallen to #6 behind India & inflation is running rampant even though the Bank of England was one of the first to raise the interest rate. Most important of all is will the U.K. stay as one, or split into 4 different countries? With troubling times ahead King Charles III has big shoes to fill indeed. 

I have to agree with you for many of the reasons, but the U.S. economy is still #1. We buy a lot of Chink stuff at Wal Mart.

Just a hour or so before the Queen's death was made known to Parliament Liz Truss announced a freeze or energy bills, without it we'd all be struggling. It's predicted that this move alone will reduce the inflation rate by half, still high but not unmanageable.

No prospect of a breakup of the Union in our lifetime, certainly not in King Charles'. 

Of all the words spoken over the last 24 hours the one that struck me the most was "This is the big one".

And if you want to talk duty how about her last performance appointing Liz Truss, everything was probably in the process of shutting down then, but still she did it.
