Since the Queen's sad passing, many have been honouring Her Majesty with touching tributes.
The world is mourning the loss of Queen Elizabeth II after 70 years of reign. The Queen died at the age of 96 on 8 September, and since her passing, many have been honouring her Majesty with touching tributes.The new King paid tribute to his mother the Queen with an official statement which read: "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.
During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held."Liz Truss paid her tribute on the steps of Downing Street. She said: "We are all devastated by the news we have just heard from Balmoral. The death of Her Majesty The Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world. Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built.
This is a moment of acute loss and profound sadness, it also a moment of enormous significance. The passing of Queen Elizabeth marks the end of an era. Our nation is in mourning."In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her. An enduring admiration for Queen Elizabeth II united people across the Commonwealth.
Her Majesty worked with 15 Prime Ministers and countless foreign heads of state. She listened deeply, thought strategically, and was responsible for considerable diplomatic achievements. And yet, she wore her lofty titles with a light touch—as willing to act in a comic sketch for the London Olympics as she was to record steadying messages for the people of the UK during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
