A dark day for the UK - a photo on Flickriver

            On 8.8.22 our dear Queen passed away, a dark day indeed for the UK and the Commonwealth countries for whom she was Head of State. 

She reigned for 70 years and lived to the age of 96, continuing her duties up to 2 days before her death.

I cannot express my thoughts any better than this:

Her son, our new King Charles III said: 

"Alongside the personal grief that all my family are feeling, we also share with so many of you in the United Kingdom, in all the countries where The Queen was Head of State, in the Commonwealth and across the world, a deep sense of gratitude for the more than 70 years in which my Mother, as Queen, served the people of so many nations.

In 1947, on her 21st birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from Cape Town to the Commonwealth to devote her life, whether it be short or long, to the service of her peoples.

That was more than a promise: it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life.

She made sacrifices to duty.  Her dedication and devotion as Sovereign never waivered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss.

Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing".
