    I'm not even from England and the news that she's passed away has really upset me. Here, there are people who say that we are better off being "free" from England, and others who say that we've made a mess of the country and should ask to be taken back. But at a time like this, I think we can all send out deepest condolences to all people of the UK on the passing of such a beautiful, kind wonderful queen.
    The queen is dead, long live the king.

    I have to admit to getting a bit emotional while watching the Accession ceremony. The pain on William's face is heartbreaking, I have no idea how he kept it together. And as for King Charles first address. He showed such strength and composure. I don't think I could have been so composed.

    The pain and the tears were so definitely there from Charles. I think he did admirably...

    As much as I dislike him, I thought Boris's tribute was well delivered tbh.

    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Me neither, they’ve all been incredible. I know a lot of people don’t like the pomp and ceremony but I find it reassuring itms


    Edit: Yeah, Boris can certainly deliver a speech!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
