Lizzie was the last Queen many of us will see.
After Chuck there’s Willie then his son George so unless George has a first born daughter when he grows up or one of the fellas doesn’t have the longevity Lizzie did, it’s fair to say it’s blokes on the throne for the majority of the next century.

The end of a era really. A rein that is unlikely to ever be surpassed. She showed a kindness and compassion that reminded you of your own grandmother, and will be greatly missed by many.

David Attenborough said in his tribute to her, that she had a way of making people feel at ease, despite you knowing you were in the company of someone incredible.

Speaking of David Attenborough he's a month younger than her, and I really hope he stays fit.

Not sure if anyone saw the tribute Anthony Albanese paid to Queen Elizabeth, but it was absolutely beautiful.
PM's tribute was lovely. I posted a copy of his words on behalf of the Nation but not the video.

So nice not to have umm and arghs for a change in a prepared speech.

His popularity will probably rise another few points I would guess.

David Attenborough is a National, or rather, World treasure. I hope we can enjoy his work and passion for nature and the environment for a few more years yet.

Albanese became the first PM to swear in a minister for the republic & was pushing for Australia to become a republic. I guess he won’t mention that for a while now

Australia gets a public holiday on Thursday the 22nd September. Victorians get a long long weekend but they have to live in Victoria so that’s only fair haha

If the public holiday wasn’t going to be the same day as the funeral why wouldn’t the public holiday be in school holidays?

very sad day with the passing of the queen, many of us grew up in a time when we would sing god save the queen at school assembly once a week, and most big public offices and community halls would have a picture of the queen up on the wall. R.I.P
