The resolute selflessness, the walking epitome of duty, the stoic and unwavering dedication to the people, the allegiance to a purpose of uniting a nation rather than dividing it, the backbone of our country, the unrelenting bravery in the face of adversity after adversity. You were the revered sovereign, woman and icon. May you truly rest in peace, your Majesty, the impact of your reign will endure for eternity.
...and today, the new King is being proclaimed all over the world, from small islands to large nations such as Australia and Canada. I have just watched the Canadian ceremony, in English and French, with gun salutes pounding in the background. In every parish church in England there are tributes: candles burning and muffled peals rung on the bells. The Roman Catholic churches too are saying Mass tomorrow for the Queen. No Empire in history, surely, ever had such a legacy. God save our sovereign Lord, King and Governor.
A quite beautiful tribute to a wonderful lady. I think she would be the first to thank your gallant nation for your contribution to two world wars. I will never forget Canada's sacrifice.
To my queen from your humble servant its been a blessing and a great pleasure to have work for you I shall do the same for the king go rest in peace now you have earned the right and thank you may god bless you you servant lord Griffith
"greatest queen"? she was nothing but a ceremonial functionary - her namesake is the greatest English queen, mate - Elizabeth I - at the time when such were "necessary"
We have had many fine monarchs in our long and storied history, very few have been truly great, other than Alfred, Athelstan, and Elizabeth I and now we can add Elizabeth II to that rather exclusive club; she was the epitome of service, restraint, wisdom and grace, and in her passing we can see how small and venal the politicians we have truly are.
She served with loyalty dedication and a selflessness she was the backbone of this nation and she regined for 70 years. Now she begins her final journey rest in peace your royal highness.
I am compelled to make another comment. First, this music, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful pieces written. Secondly, the comment made by Rebecca and Christopher is absolutely the most esquisite comment I have read since the death of Her Majesty. It addresses all aspects of her reign and her person in the most magnificent way. I felt that comment speaking to my heart and soul. RIP Your ROYAL HIGHNESS, YOUR MAJESTY. I have not doubt the response she got was WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.
She was a woman that knew that duty and service were essential. A wonderful woman that created bridges in a world of trouble . She was a woman of Christian faithfulness. Who became the peoples Queen. Fair well Beautiful Galadriel . Fair well Beautiful Elizabeth . RIP Elizabeth . And God save the King .
This peice of classical music,so fitting for such a magnificent Monarch,our Queen. Rest in eternal peace your Majesty. And as dear Paddington Bear said... Thankyou Ma'am...for everything 🙏🙏🙏
this was the first song radio 2 played after she died. followed by 2 more classical compositions and resumed music with words with "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele (also the last song Heart and Virgin Radio played before she died). the days following, the station was more focused on mellow selections until they slowly resumed regular programming the day after her funeral.
They used this music with an image of her Majesty to replace the adverts on the channel Dave. A most beautiful piece of music, that I had to find. RIP Queen Elizabeth II
A an extraordinarily emotional, powerful and moving piece of music. Fitting for the passing of the longest serving Sovereign and Monarch of all time! Rest in Peace Your Majesty! My late Father's favorite piece of symphonic music. We had an organ version of this played at the Funeral's for both my Step-Father and my Mother!
When queen Victoria died, her grandchildren quarrelled and we ended up entering into some of the most brutal wars the earth has ever seen. Now HM QEll has passed on, her grandchildren quarrel, we face global unrest and we are arguably on the brink of WW3. I miss the Elizabethan age so much already.
During our history of a thousand years and more, we have had a predominance of Kings but only a comparative handful of Queens Regnant. We Britons have been fortunate in our history to have had some notable Queens, Queen Elizabeth l was a great Queen for this country when viewed within the context of life in the 16th century, Queen Victoria also reigned for a long time and saw this nation forge a lead to become the greatest nation on Earth - she too was a great Queen. We in 21st century Britain are lucky to be blessed with the hindsight to look back across the centuries, and can say without argument that Queen Elizabeth ll has been the greatest Queen of all. Indeed, she is probably THE greatest British monarch of them all. It remains to be seen whether she will ever have an equal.
I doubt there will ever be an equal. A magnificent queen, the like of which we will never see again. The future heirs will be males, so we will not see another queen for a very long time. HM Queen Elizabeth II kept her promise to the end, and never faltered in her 75 years on the throne.
Edward Elgar's Enigma variations , the quintessential piece of british music for the most quintessential british Ladies in my life my late mother Sheila and Queen Elizabeth II , Rule Britannia ,God save the Queen , British by the grace of my mother and the motherland
Elizabeth was a wonderful example of grace and duty. My mom looked so much like her. They were the exact same age. She was told often of the resemblance. I loved it.
I just noted that QEII and Marilyn Monroe were born in the same year and that QEII died 60 years after Marilyn's passing. Two different and remarkable women. RIP
God save our gracious Queen, God save our noble Queen, God rest her soul. May she find peace in heav'n, a lifetime service giv'n with duty, grace and charm, God bless you ma'am.

A truly remarkable woman with the responsibilities of being a Queen. I will always admire, respect and thank her for being such a wonderful role model. I wish I'd recognize this before she left us. But, I believe with her guidance of being a world leader, King Charles will be the excellent monarch he is meant to be. It is my hope that, with his demonstrated capabilities of transition, he will present ideas that are new and thoughtful. Because of the Queen Consort's support for him, I can see why Queen Elizabeth named her. Perhaps King Charles can lead their country into a new era? To me, he can be, and I truly believe will be. RIP Elizabeth for your duty, and let the world believe there are still great love stones.
She was my Queen, she was and is all I had ever known, and now she is gone. And now we enter an age where 3 Kings are guaranteed, Charles 3, William 5th, George 7th. I suppose the proudest moment for me was when King Charles the 3rd and Queen consort Camilla stepped from their car after the Queens was deceased and went to greet the assembled crowd outside Buckingham Palace, and shared their grief and emotions and congratulations on Charles becoming King, a step which no royal before them had ever taken, such a gigantic step forward for the monarchy and one which I wonder if we'll ever see again. The King has come of age and I hope he can lead us well. Long live the King.
I truly fear for the future of our monarchy now that wonderful lady has sadly departed. Not a foot wrong in 70 years of duty to all of us and the nation. OK, Phillip made the odd gaffe. Look at what we now have. A king who meddles in politics with a dodgy history. A Prince of Wales who panders to popular culture. If only Princess Anne had been born first we would be in safer hands.
I was wondering what music to play while I did some work this afternoon. 'I know,' says I. 'Elgar's Nimrod would be appropriate.' Looks like others had the same idea!

That is such a moving tribute. So so beautifully put together and summed up
Beautifully said, thank you.

There could be no finer piece of music to offer, to remember Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II Rest in well-deserved peace. From a loyal Canadian.
A quite beautiful tribute to a wonderful lady. I think she would be the first to thank your gallant nation for your contribution to two world wars. I will never forget Canada's sacrifice.
Without doubt, the most appropriate piece to celebrate the life of and remember Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Fits so well.
I am a Yakut. And I've never been to England. But even I was sad when I heard the news that Queen Elizabeth II had died. My condolences to England😔
To my queen from your humble servant its been a blessing and a great pleasure to have work for you I shall do the same for the king go rest in peace now you have earned the right and thank you may god bless you you servant lord Griffith
I wish this music was played at the late Queen Elizabeth's funeral. Elgar's music is so majestic and grand, fit for a Queen. RIP Queen Elizabeth II
God Save the Queen! She may have passed, but will be forever in our hearts
Have tears in my eyes rest in peace your majesty you will never be forgotten and will always be our queen
We shall never see her like again, God Bless our Queen Elizabeth II 😢
"we shall never see her like again" and we shall never see such an aggregation of trite, corny comments again, either!

There are good performances of 'Nimrod' ... and not -so -good. This one is absolutely perfect. Well done, ESO - Her Majesty would be well pleased.

Cleary, having a head of state that is politically neutral and respects the divine, is a very good thing indeed.
This is the actual point that many people, who constantly bash the role, just do not understand.
Beautiful tribute
