      I sympathise. She wasn't just one woman. She was Britannia personified and when she died, our Country died along with her. Look at it now, a festering bastardised rock in the Eastern Atlantic and that's all that can be said for our future now.

    Of every video on UA-cam, this is the one I keep going back to every other evening. There is something almost beautiful about the ability to capture such a tragic loss within six minutes and it consistently brings me to tears. The weight of history captured in this video is overwhelming and the thought that we are witnessing an end to the monarchy of the old world is so powerful. God Save The Queen. She was a symbol of stability and learning from the past to adapt to this modern world. Regardless of your thoughts on the royal family, this was a woman who had not only witnessed, but had been involved with the vast majority of events and decision making moments of our recent history and we are lesser without her guidance. Truly historic. Sleep well Queen, and thank you.

    Her Majesty was not just the Queen of the United Kingdom. She was a symbol of stability and dignity. She was also a connection between us and the Great Generation. I am not even British but I feel like I lost something important. I lost the connection with the greatest generation, the last generation who understood the true meaning of chivalry, dignity, honour and duty. I am a grown man but even now when I watch the funeral videos of Her Majesty I get teared up. I have never had the chance to visit the UK yet but I plan to do it next year and I will visit the St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle to pay my respects.

      Three of the four members of my family made exactly the same journey - round about eighteen hours for us. Words cannot describe my feelings going into that blessed place. Strangely enough, I'd spent much of the time walking expecting to be holding back an ocean of tears when I got in there. Didn't happen; the sense of wonderment overtook all else. I'd also had it fairly clear in my head of what I was going to do when facing her coffin. When the moment came, the most appropriate thing I could think to do was a two or three second bow. It didn't seem a sufficiently adequate show of respect at all considering who it was laid five feet in front of me. You, likewise, have my respect, sir, for finding the strength to endure. And it really did take some strength to do it. I must say, they might have chosen something a little less troublesome than those ghastly plastic walkways in the last mile!

She had our national anthem played at Buckingham Palace. She was compassionate, wise, and ever graceful. I will never forget.
