      @@Secretorder13 There's a level of ignorance in people like you that really does need correction. "What's she actually done??". She's hosted dictators and bores at the will of the state trying to make international deals to earn money to pay for YOUR free healthcare, justice system and welfare state and done it with grace and dignity, bolstering relationships in a way that politicians cannot. She's shaken millions of hands, walked miles in all weathers to do so. Greeted the rich, the poor and everyone in between without making distinction between them in how much time was given, and interest shown. Sat through thousands of performances of school children, choirs, bands, music events, charitable evenings for the Arts. Turned up regardless of whether she was healthy or unwell - how many 95+ women would stand on a balcony while they're actively dying in great pain, simply to show her people that she had gratitude for them turning up to cheer on her Jubilee? Let's compare that to what we've seen you do, shall we? Come and post on social media while you appear to be stuck in the Middle Ages dreaming of glory. Who's the one who hasn't done anything, much less for their country.

      In a sense, she was queen of the whole world.

      Just remember that most of her recent ancestry is that of both Germany (specifically the Hanover and Saxe-Coburg & Gotha dynasties) as well as Danish (Christian IX of Denmark). Through the Hanovers you have the Stuart, Tudor, Lancaster, York, and Plantagenet ancestries, while through her mother (the Bowes-Lyon Family) you have the ancestry of Robert the Bruce, King of the Scots. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, because of Philip's Danish (also from Christian IX of Denmark) and Russian ancestry (from a granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I) that they now have the ancestries of several dynastic lines, whether either from the original line or from cadet branches.

    I love this hymn. Listening to this song and watching to the events that took place on those days made me tear. It gives one the thought that the Queen had vowed to serve her country and and kept her word. She is an example who future leaders can emulate Britain and the Commonwealth are mourning the passing of a great mornach who kept her word by serving the British and the Commonwealth. Thank you for the video. God rest the Queen 🇬🇧. God save the King.

      I Vow to Thee, My Country is a poem by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, which took its present form in early 1918. The setting was made in 1921 by Gustav Holst with a melody that he had borrowed from the "Jupiter movement" in his suite The Planets. Since then, I Vow to Thee, My Country has been both a patriotic British song and an anthem in the Anglican communion.

    I am staggered watching this on the 15th Feb 2023. And I feel devastated and I’m weeping quite heavily. Shit. I had no idea. None, what this lady who I never met meant to me.
    Rest in peace, United with ur legend of a husband. ❤️
    God save the King

    Rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth II. We missed you so much! ❤️ Since I heard the news from 8th September 2022. Queen Elizabeth II has officially passed away. I heard that, then, start paying for her respects to her soul and gave her the last day of her journey. So I just want to say and pay for her respects thank you for standing our country to make it freedom for us to do what we want and thanks for all the items that you've prepared to our country. Since 1826 - 1946. I've learnt from the history is all about my beloving country, Malaysian/Malaysia. Once again, thank you, Your Majesty The Queen. We will be proud to see you again for Her Majesty The Queen's State Funeral.

    So beautiful and heart-touching! How we miss our Queen! Through my father's genealogy research, I discovered she was my 11th cousin! ❤ I'm very humbled and honored to be related to her and to almost every member of the family. The struggles, wars, alliances, good/bad times that they've gone through, just as we have are numerable. She led by example. We can all learn from her, no matter who we are! May the Lord bless each of you that are resding this! ❤

    It’s been months since she’s passed. I have to watch these videos. It brings me a sense of peace. The World is not the same now that she’s gone.
    Always in our hearts Your Majesty

    There is not a day that goes by that I don’t wish she was here - the finale of the crown did me in - seeing a young uniformed Elizabeth… well done, good and faithful servant of the people

    The words to the hymn tell the story of her life.
    She made the world a better world.

    I'm not a monarchist and I deliberately didn't watch any of the coverage.
    Then I saw this and cried like a baby.

      You don't have to be a monarchist to admire a woman with Queen Elizabeth's devotion to duty, sense if humor and all round decent sort. Like most, I can't remember a time when she wasn't Queen. There's something to be said for Monarchy, after all, Prime ministers come and go, but she was always there. Now she's not and we all feel it.

      Same thing happened to a friend of mine who isn't a monarchist particularly. Greatly upset when The late Queen died. Integrity and keeping a promise are rare in leaders these days.
