The Queen was spoken to by emotional mourners gathering outside Buckingham Palace last evening as a “noble and magnificent lady” who was “the rock on which modern Britain was founded.”
Following the announcement of Her Majesty’s passing, tributes from Brits poured in, with many tearing up as they told the Mail Online how much the queen meant to them.
She symbolised continuity and the four regions of our nation, according to one guy, and she served as the foundation upon which modern Britain was created.
“Just thinking about how we will go forward is so shocking.”
But, as they say, “stay cool and continue on.”
One lady, who was forced to pause in the middle of her statement due to her mounting rage, spoke to Her Majesty as “a member of our community, a part of us, and she was us.”
Others also discussed the significance of the Queen to UK politics, claiming that she was “above” political differences.
She could exemplify what being British means in this day and age, when it’s difficult to find, one guy added.
She’s beyond politics and parties, a constant, and she did her duty.
Everyone may appreciate, look to, and use in their own lives “they are all parts.”
She was a really noble and amazing lady, he said with tears in his eyes.
Yesterday evening, the terrible news of the Queen’s passing was made public.
One lady expressed her “honour” at being able to pay her respects after she was announced dead.
She expressed her gratitude and honour at having known her from infancy and being able to pay her respects upon her demise.
I’m simply relieved that she is now in a better place if she was in suffering.
She gave so much of herself to help her people, and we all adore her since she was our matriarch. Her duty to me was beyond reproach.
It’s difficult to acknowledge that she won’t be remembered in our tomorrows but will be in history books.
As several in the audience broke down in tears, others spontaneously sang God Save The Queen.
One little youngster praised the Queen for being “extremely helpful” and a “really wonderful person.”
The Queen, he added, “means a lot to me because she was a really wonderful person in life, always helpful, and had inspiration for everything she accomplished.”
One little youngster praised the Queen for being “really wonderful” and “quite helpful.”
This guy said: “It’s simply such a shock to think about how we are going to keep on,” paraphrasing a well-known British proverb. However, continue to be cool and go on.
She was a decent monarch.
There are just two words, and that is extremely sad, according to one guy who was questioned and could not find the words to explain his anguish. Now, there is just one sensation.
Some foreign visitors to the UK who were questioned referred to Her Majesty as a “cultural icon.”
“You can see here that there are a lot of individuals who are truly extremely upset and lamenting her passing,” they stated.
“The Queen was a symbol of culture.”
“The death of a member of our royal family would surely not be as big of an issue where we are from,” she said.
Some other people said, “I’ve just been here for two years, yet I feel like I’m from here and I’m feeling extremely sad.”
When Her Majesty passed away, some individuals grieved for their own families. Dolores, 75, broke down in tears and said she was “sad” because she “remembers her mom,” who was the same age.
Leo Cheung, 37, a Hong Kong native who moved to London 20 years ago, was one of several mourners who sent flowers at Buckingham Palace.
We are very unbiased toward the royal family but the Queen has been there since we were born, he added, adding that we have a really close relationship to her.
“It’s painful to see someone we know die away,” she said. “She was part of our lives.”
Some foreign visitors to the UK who were questioned referred to Her Majesty as a “cultural icon.”
In the midst of the conflict in Ukraine, Norman Ashley, who was flying an Australian flag outside Buckingham Palace, said that the “new age” of the British monarchy may serve as a “uniting force” for the whole globe.
Because she was the monarch of Australia, the Union Jack is on our flag, and we were inextricably linked, he added, “It means a lot to us.”
We have been filled with anxiety over the last week or so due to her failing condition.
Christine Ashley, 68, of Canberra, Australia, said she and her husband arrived in the UK yesterday for a vacation and felt as if they had “walked into history.”
It’s a period of uncertainty, and the Queen was one of those stabilising forces across the globe in these worrying times, the woman who claimed to be a dual citizen and a UK native stated.
Like everyone has said, she has played a role in our lives.
I suppose there is a feeling of fear about what is ahead.
