all of us are important, life is the most beautiful thing, but when it ends it is very sad, that is why we should always value everything for equality and give a good reminder, both the queen and those who die of hunger in the world should be news of debate.

the people of England had to honor their leader and stopped many games. i have seen good and bad news about the Queen of England on the Internet. I think the percentage was 85% for the bad ones. I don't want to talk about it, but the UK industry has done it in an acceptable way.

we don't know how the queen's life was off camera, but what we do know is that everything we do in this world is paid for before we go to rest, while we are alive we should always be good people.

It is normal for any person to have a funeral, but here it is about many things, including Princess Diana.. When someone dies, you can't speak well of him, if he did a lot of very bad things in his life. There are many bad things in which the royal family was involved in the last 70 years, but people to judge as they want...

I thought Queen Elisabeth would reach 100 , and even more , cause see seemed to be healthy , mentally strong, tough , but still 96 years old is good . I don't think she had any health problems during her life , did she ?/ Ofcourse , as a Queen she had the best doctors at her service . She will be buried this Monday , I guess a lot of people will go there to watch the ceremony .

I hear that on Monday the funeral of the Queen will take place , do for sure on Monday no sport events will happen , the stock exchange will be closed , I guess in the weekend also many shops will be closed . After Monday everything will be back to normal I guess
Btw...I see Charles now , very old .. I read that he is the oldest heir to be proclaimed king in the history of the UK .... I do not think he likes that lol . But he had so great patience , decades waiting for his turn . Let's see how many years he will remain the king . I heard in the past that he might give up so as William , his son , to take his place as king tight away , that would be better imo , maybe the British people would also like this , a younger man on the throne , and William is very beloved

I watched some videos of the Queen on YouTube , I have to admit last year's I haven't been following their news , I watched how she was in 2019 and how she was in 2022 . 3 years later she changed completely , and of course these mobility problems she had , and she lost a lot of weight . Only pictures of her were being published I think lately not videos . It was obvious she was in her last month's . Anyway , sad to see a person dying or being close to death . On Monday her funeral will take place , I wanna see how they will organise the whole thing , she was their queen for many decades !!!

I have also seen movies, but it is not about something good, is about something bad. They pray to Baphomet, there were some people who chanted and made them pedoph1les, they offended them in football stadiums in Scotland and Ireland. These people know better how things are...

Today the funeral took place , it lasted very long , now it's over . I saw the king , I think he is somehow tired , of course all these days tiring procedures , events , preparations . I guess now everything will go back to normality . May the Queen rest in peace . And God save the new king .

I read a bit that the funeral is today and it will be deposited in a chapel during the evening. Family, acquaintances will be participants there and it's normal. The public is not allowed for now, so as not to disturb the rest of family members.

Now it's over , the funeral is over and life goes on . I guess for some time , months , she will be remembered and referred again and again in some political events , in memory of her , to honour her , but life goes on with Charles as King . That's the real thing with life , no matter what happens , no matter who died , life goes on .

She was a successful monarch , she performed her royal duties the way she supposed to do . British monarchy is an institution very important for many worldwide , not only the British . She didn't make any troubles during her lifetime , she managed well some mistakes of her family members , so as to satisfy public opinion.
Nowadays I think kings and queens have no real power , they exist only for the eyes of the people , for social hierarchy reasons , but still they have their importance . Elizabeth II monarchy lasted the most , I think Charles III's term will be very short , I think the system would like to see Williams to take the throne soon . We will see .
