I honestly can't remember, sitting at home I think, but was overwhelmed with sadness and shed many tears that day.

Can’t say I remember where i was but can’t believe it’s been a year already. I liked the queen, she did a good job, but i do think the royal family should be phased out

Aenurse1 yeah i do get that argument but the problem is because we’ve never experienced life without them, how do we know people wouldn’t still come without them.

jms19 NO WAY. The Royal family commands respect from abroad especially. Imagine Buckingham Palace and the rest of the royal addresses being private property? It doesn't bear even thinking about. Let King Charles enjoy his remining years as an elderly king.

jam45 yeah we all have differing opinions and that’s what I’m saying about the whole “they bring x amount of money in through tourism” we have no concrete proof either way. Even if they did become less powerful I’m fairly sure the big buildings would never become private property. Most likely they would be like other royal houses abroad and just become tourist attractions.

I know i also felt very sad during that week, it felt as if the world had changed, and i am not a supporter of royalty, the Queen was an exception

The only other time i felt anything close to this was for an ex member of royalty , when Diana died

I was at home. I remember I had visitors and I was following it as they kept saying on the news she was ‘under the doctor’ but not really any more information and then the next day she passed.

I think about the queen from time to time. I remember how sombre the mood was the next day as I travelled for work. The Queen was like the nation's grandmother ❤️

I was working in my daughters pub at the time but before the world was informed she had died regulars were saying she was already dead. I told them they were not being nice.

Living my life... While I don't wish loss of life on anyone, her passing had no impact on me.

I remember seeing on the news journalist outside balmoral & gathered it wasn't good. I was sad to hear of her passing, like I am anyone's. I felt for the family having to publicly greive but I can't say I was deeply effected tbh.
