to such a kind and wonderful lady.
"Willy's gone and made another,
Something like it's elder brother-
Wing tips rounded, spinner's bigger.
Unbraced tailplane ends it's figure.
One-O-nine F is it's name-
F is for futile, not for fame."

Perhaps the most nicest and kindest member of the Royal family ever and she'll be remembered forever!

We share the same birthday of august 4th.  She's always been in my mind on that day even though I'm American.

Sorry for your loss Britons....

My condolences to the country of England.  Even as an American, I always had a lot of respect for that lady, even more so than some of our own leaders.

Sorry for your loss.

Leadership.

Her actions during the war earned her my undying respect.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

She certainly earned a rest. She had a great and long life and her country was blessed to have her.

I'm pretty sure she was already revealed to pass away.. People who go over 100 years usually just wait for the prolonged death.

So in that sense you shouldn't feel sad, she had a long and glorious life, you should celebrate that. It was her time.
