Stuart Croft, Vice-Chancellor

I join with the rest of the country in mourning the loss of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

As the longest serving British monarch, The Queen leaves behind a legacy of unwavering public service. In my role as Vice-Chancellor and a Deputy Lieutenant for the West Midlands, I find her dedication to serving her people to be a source of inspiration.

Her patronages and charities aimed to serve people from all walks of life, and she set the example of what compassion for people looks like.

My thoughts are with the Royal Family at what is undoubtedly a very difficult time.

Chris Ennew OBE, Provost

This is a time of great sadness across our country. Her Majesty, the Queen has been a constant presence for so many of us – through times of challenge, through times of difficulty and through times of joy and celebration. Hers has been a life of dedicated and committed service to her people and to her country and, through her lengthy reign, she has be steadfast to her duty. The sense of loss is palpable, here at Warwick and nationwide, but will be most keenly felt by family and close friends and I send my deepest sympathies to them all at this most difficult of times. But we should also be thankful for a life lived well and a life lived long; we should be thankful for all that she has done for our country, for the Commonwealth and beyond and we should remember to celebrate the life and work of a truly remarkable woman.

Sir David Normington GCB, Chair of Council

I am deeply saddened by the news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth Il. Her Majesty lived a life of unfailing and inspiring service to the country and to the Commonwealth. For me, as a former senior civil servant, she set the standard for public service and for integrity and morality in public life. She was a unifying force in society, reminding us that there are so many more things that unite than divide us. We shall not see her like again. I send my deepest condolences to His Majesty the King and to the whole Royal Family.

Professor Chris Hughes, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education)

I would like to offer my heartfelt sympathies to The Royal Family following the announcement of the death of Her Majesty, The Queen.

The Queen has been a constant, steadying presence since her coronation in 1952. It is remarkable to think of how society has transformed over the years of her reign, and I find it especially moving to think of how many more people benefit from receiving a university education today than at the start of her reign.

Throughout it all, she worked hard to change our world for the better, and I know the sense of loss will be felt throughout the country including here at Warwick.

Rt Hon Baroness Catherine Ashton GCMG PC

I send my condolences to His Majesty, the King and the Royal Family on the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen was a constant in shifting times, offering support to so many people with whom she engaged on the thousands of visits and audiences she held. Her long reign will be long remembered. She will be greatly missed.

Rt Hon Baroness Catherine Ashton GCMG PC

Almustapha Lawal

After hardworking in life there is always time for rest. May her HM the Queen rest in peace.

Amanda Lam

My thoughts are with the Royal Family and the people in the UK and across all the Commonwealth countries. As a Hong Konger, we truly appreciate what Her Majesty had done to Hong Kong - under her rule, we enjoyed an unprecedented level of freedom and economical success, which the current administration can compare nowhere near.

She signified the best times in modern British (and Hong Kong) history, and we all have a lot to learn from her, especially how she tackles challenges with great calmness and extraordinary diplomatic skills. I and many Hong Kongers will definitely miss her.

Ameena Ahmad

As a young 18 year old female from Pakistan who came to the UK for the first time to study at Warwick in 2003, the Queen was my inspiration and role model. With a heavy heart in Karachi, I will miss all the pomp and pageantry around her yet her humbleness and support to all her fellow Commonwealth nations. Thank you for remembering the Pakistan flood victims before your passing away.

Amy Garside (nee Willison)

I attended Warwick October 2011-June 2014, and graduated with a BA Hons 2:1 in Modern History.

I remember well, some of the prominent themes from one of my Second year modules; 'Britain in 20th Century'.

The Queen was a constant source of reassurance during some trying times for our country - both in the previous century, and this one. Not least, during the recent Coronavirus pandemic.

She was an embodiment of the values that make us proud to be British. Loyalty, diplomacy, and the determination to do right for her country and her people.

Rest in peace Your Majesty. You will be remembered for your remarkable reign, and admirable approach to all your duties.

Ananda Majumdar

The world has lost on of the most respected lady known in recent history.

Andrew Smith

For most of us, her Majesty has been a constant presence throughout our lives and we will greatly miss the sense of calm reassurance she brought amidst the ever-changing cycle of world events. Her sense of duty was exemplary; the devotion of her life to public service, which was of invaluable benefit to the country, no doubt came at a great personal cost.

I offer my condolences to the Royal Family at this time of great loss.

Angela Reeve

The Nation has lost its mother, and the Nation is heartbroken.
May beauty and peace be Her Majesty's constant companions.

Asghar Butt

Very sad to learn about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. She was a paradigm of dedication and constancy in this fast changing era. My sincere condolences to the royal family on this loss. May her service be a legacy that last forever. Rest in peace

Ashley Potter

I will remember Queen Elizabeth II for her dignity, warmth and devotion to public service, inspiring myself and countless others to follow her example. This is a moment of great sadness for us all and the sense of loss will be felt throughout the many realms and lands she visited. She was respected and admired throughout the world, bringing a great sense of pride to the nation.

Her unswerving duty to the United Kingdom saw her become the country’s greatest ambassador as she tirelessly travelled the world, becoming a symbol of the nation’s heritage and tradition as she built relationships across continents. The Queen’s remarkably long reign has been a constant source of reassurance among many tumultuous events in the United Kingdom.

This is truly the end of an era.

Ashvini Bakshi, Student

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Most of us have never known another British monarch, and during her 70 years on the throne, her commitment to public service was a model for us all. I extend my deepest sympathies to the Royal Family and all our colleagues in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

Ashwini Aruleswaran

HM Queen Elizabeth II was a well-regarded queen, poised and ready no matter how difficult the challenge. A queen of the people through thick and thin, an honour to have been governed under her reign.

May her beautiful soul rest in well-deserved peace.

Asset Akhmetov

From my childhood I always dreamed to see England, London, Buckingham palace and of course to study in the UK. As a kid of former Soviet Union country, for the most of children of Kazakhstan to see London was something impossible. However I always believed that someday I would visit London and see the Buckingham palace not on the picture but in real life. I dreamed to visit London, learn English and study there and be a part of UK society. My first English book started with picture of HM Queen Elizabeth II and words "London is the capital of Great Britain" that picture and those words I will never forget. For me, HM Queen is the symbol of Great country and as graduate of Warwick University I am proud to be a small part of this Great country. My deepest condolences to Royal Family and all British people. May Her Majesty The Queen Rest In Peace. Ameen. Kind regards, Asset Akhmetov

Bashayer Abdallah

The queen has always been my role model, her work ethic and dedication to the task in hand have stood me in good stead, also during my studies at Warwick. I am sad but grateful for all she has done for our country. My thoughts and sympathy are with her family.

Birhan Suadik

HM Queen Elizabeth II has been a magnificent and gracious icon for the UK and the Commonwealth for the last Seven decades. She’s undoubtedly been a connection for the traditional monarchy to its modern flavour and of course to its future continuity. What a remarkable figure indeed! Her Majesty! We miss you sadly and with a great contemplation!

My deepest condolences to the royal family and the entire nations of the UK and the Commonwealth!

God save the King!!!

Boladale Akin-Kolapo

Her Majesty The Queen lived a fulfilled life, and accomplished a lot with her remarkable humility. She gave her all to serve our great country and we remain eternally grateful for that.

May HM find rest in perfect peace.

Amen

Burcu

Me and my grandma are deeply saddened by the passing of her majesty Queen Elizabeth. My grandma admired her class. She had style and elegance. As a mum of 4, she ruled both her house and Great Britain. Through the Second World War to the Covid pandemic... She's a strong woman. We'll miss her.

Caius Ramsden-Board

Deeply upsetting to hear of the passing of our great monarch Queen Elizabeth II. I’ve never known another monarch and can only hope King Charles III will maintain the firm and proper grasp the Queen had on the right constitutional place of the Monarchy in the UK and realms.

Caleb Heather

Her Majesty the Queen was the epitome of duty and the living embodiment of our nation. It is easy to see why her generation were called the greatest generation. There will never be anyone like her again. I was fortunate enough to see the Queen when she annually visited my home town for the Epsom Derby Horserace. I also received a reply for a letter I sent to the Queen during the pandemic. These are some of my proudest memories. Her Majesty has an enormous legacy, one which will live on beyond our lifetimes. The Queen was a constant source of comfort and stability. She reminded us to take pause and love our neighbours. She championed many noble causes, such as environmental protection, peace and religious tolerance. She held this country together. No monarch has done more to make us proud to be British. Her death is a profound and painful loss to us all. All we can do is cherish her memory. My deepest condolences go to her family. May she rest in peace, and may God Save the King!

Cameron Webb

It is a sad day for much of the world, as the Queen's passing brings the end to an unrivalled era of rule. Not only those of her lands, but many across the world will mourn and remember just how much good all those under her governance have achieved in seventy years. So much has changed since her coronation, which stands as a testament for what we as a people can continue to achieve in the face of ever present struggles and threats. In her memory and the hope posed by the accession of The King, we find an ourselves in a new stage of this country's existence, in which we must double down on our commitment to fighting for the good and beauty of this world, as to not let the struggle of our ancestors be in vain.

The Queen is dead. Long live The King.

Carl Wilkinson

Such sad news to hear of your passing.

Did I shed a tear? You bet I did I'm sure you have guided your son. The future king. God save the king.

Carol Hawley

I wish to express my sincere condolences to King Charles III and all the Royal Family. I was deeply saddened at the passing of our beloved Queen.

Although I was not fortunate enough to have met her, she had been our Queen all my life. My own mother was also born in 1926 and bore a remarkable resemblance to the Queen. She passed away in 2015, and now I feel as if I have lost another mother with the passing of the Queen.

May she rest in peace now after working tirelessly, with dignity and grace, to serve our country. God save the King.

Caroline Meyer, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research)

Her Royal Highness The Queen will be sadly missed and my thoughts are with the Royal Family at this very sad time.

Cecile Fori

I am sending my condolences to the Royal Family and to all the subjects of her majesty the queen. She was a great monarch and was truly an inspiring person.

RIP Elizabeth II and thank you for having admirably served your country. God saves the Queen and the new King Charles III.

My deepest condolence to their Royal Family. With great respect from Thailand.

Charlotte Pearce

After graduating from Warwick I moved abroad to teach English in South Korea. For every new class of students I always spent our first lesson teaching them about the United Kingdom and how special our Queen was. My favourite part was when I told them about her staying in London and learning to be a mechanic fixing ambulances during World War 2- this never failed to impress them.

You will be deeply missed, thank you for so many years of service to our country.

Whilst you must be experiencing the feelings that all who lose a parent or grandparent feel, I pray that you are heartened and sustained by the outpouring of love from, and the gratitude of, her nation.

Her Majesty was the epitome of grace, dedication to duty & service, constancy, diplomacy, and of faithfulness to her position, her family, the nation, the Commonwealth and to God. We might all learn from her example.

God Save The King.

David John Skinner, Alumni

I served Her Majesty in both RAF and HM Diplomatic Service. She graciously granted me 3 Queens Commissions and an MBE. My wife and I met her at Buckingham Palace in 2017. She was a magnificent Head of State working for peace in the UK and around the world. Dignified caring and humorous she was an example for us all. I have also met King Charles and send loyal greetings to him.

You were truly the mother to the nations and your exemplary life reflects the morals & values you upheld. Rest in peace, in the very bosom of the Lord wherein you deserve. Long live the King!

Dr Lawrence Green

I was just ten years old when I was privileged to witness the Queen's Coronation on a 12-inch black-and-white TV set bought for the occasion in 1953. Perhaps for this reason I have always felt a particular affection for Her Majesty, a feeling that grew into respect and subsequently admiration as her reign unfolded. Her death is felt particularly keenly by those of my generation, I think, and I convey my deepest sympathy to King Charles and his wider family whose own feelings will be more profound than anyone else can know. It will be some comfort and consolation, I hope, for them to know that Her Majesty was regarded by her subjects with both affection and a most profound respect.

Dr Marion Okoh-Owusu (MD, PhD)

In honour of the great Queen of the world! Her Majesty, Queen (Nanahemaa) Elizabeth II. She represented splendour, calmness and Grace; I admired her greatly and I always will. She will indeed be sorely missed by the entire world. Nanahemaa Elizabeth II had great passion for a stronger Commonwealth. This is evident in the many professionals and students worldwide who have benefited from the Commonwealth Scholarship Program. I salute Nanahemaa Elizabeth II for her great leadership, loving kindness and support for Ghana and other Commonwealth countries. Rest well Nanahemaa. May the Lord God Almighty in His manifold mercies grant her eternal rest in His bosom. May God comfort the children, family, the entire United Kingdom, and the world. A true gem has left this world. May she rest in perfect Peace. AMEN. Nanahemaa, “Damirifa Due”!

Dr. Rima Al Hasan

I personally have very warm feelings towards her and the other members of the Royal Family. The late Queen has a special place in Kenyans' hearts because while on a trip to Kenya she became Queen. May her soul rest in eternal peace. I pray for King Charles III and the rest of the Royal Family. May our Lord God grant them the grace to endure this great loss.

Ekaterina Kravchenko

My deepest condolences to the Royal family! When Britain lost its monarch who served with such dignity, loyalty and strength, your family lost mother, sister, grandmother and a dear friend, and its a great loss to everybody!
In such period of grief and sorrow I wish the King Charles III to be strong as not only his family but the whole nations will rely on him. He is a very smart, intelligent, thoughtful and bright person, and only he can turn everything to the better with his wisdom and sharp mind. Long live the King!

I would like to express my great sadness at hearing of the Queen's passing.

Earlier I never considered myself a royalist but over the years I've come to deeply appreciate and respect the traditions and history of the Monarchy. The Queen was the symbol of real majesty, taking up one's duty with grace and without resentment, with a warm smile but without the emotional overload that has come to characterise the newer generations. A true lady. Her death has marked the real end of an era, where morality and setting an example for others were striven for and cherished.

My sincere condolences to Her Majesty's beloved Nation.

Thank you ma'am, for everything.

May your soul rest in peace, HM The Queen. Thank you for all your support and service.

Gary Mark Stocker

I was very sad to hear this. I was on holiday in Salisbury when it happened. Ironically I had been to an evening service at Salisbury Cathedral and one of the lines in the service was, “God save the Queen”. I went to a pub afterwards and I saw the news on the tv in there. I was shocked and could have gotten quite emotional. There was a very subdued atmosphere in the pub. Earlier that week I had been on a guided tour and seen the crest of her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I, in St Thomas's church (see attachment). My father was doing national service in the Royal Artillery during her coronation in 1952 and was part of the support team who fired the salute in Hyde Park. The thing about Her Majesty was that she represented constancy, with dignity and decorum, in a rapidly changing (and not always for the better) world. Hopefully, His Majesty can continue in a similar vein (I think that the support will be there for him). Good luck to all of us and to the late Queen and the new King in particular.

Gen Li

Thank you to HM Queen Elizabeth II for all she has given to the UK and the world throughout her life.

I had a great sense of admiration and hope in your leadership over the years since the traces of my knowledge of your person from the history of your milestone visits to Ghana in 1961 and 1999, my love for videos and news items of Royal Ceremonies and during my time of studies in England at the University of Warwick.

You are certainly my adorable-firm-moral compass of Leadership, Motherhood, Service, Dedication and Great Wisdom. You will be forever missed, death has done us part but your meaningful life here on earth gives me faith and hope in the resurrection. God loves you and will grant you a warm embrace and a peaceful resting place.

Farewell and in loving memory,

George Gyader (Warwick and Ghana).

Georgina Charlton

You were an inspiration, a never changing rock throughout my life, one I never really thought would ever be gone. You left a legacy, you were an icon and there will forever be a whole that you left. Thank you for your service to the country and to its people. I hope you are at peace now.

Gerald Githinji

Deepest condolences to the people of the United Kingdom for the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She has a special place in the heart of Kenya. When her father passed, HM Queen Elizabeth was on safari in Kenya. We will miss her greatly, and especially her leadership of the Commonwealth, Her charities and Her compassion for all mankind.

Geusseppe González Cárdenas, Alumni

The Queen was not only a symbol of power and Royalty. She represented values of equality, progress, culture, and peace. May she rest in Peace. Colombian people will always be grateful for her support of Peace in our country.

Ginar Niwanputri

We surely belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.

Giuseppe Ruggieri

Queen Elizabeth is in the DNA of our country, and the symbol of all that is decent about our society,
Her passing also symbolises the passing of what was decent , as we descend into an increasingly dystopic world.
She will be sorely missed.

Gregory Tan

May HM RIP and my condolences to the Royal Family, take care + be strong...

Hammad Qureshi

It's so sad to part ways with someone whom you seemed to have always by your side. You may sometimes had seem aloof, distant or even away but we always knew you were looking over us ma'am. You were always in our hearts.

On this sad day I dedicate a few verses to you.

From a time beginning and forever foretold,

There have lived a many great, loving and astute,

But there have been few with your grace and majestic demeanor,

For there was non like you and would be like you ma'am.

Hannah Doonan

It is with great sadness that I acknowledge the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. We have been blessed to have such an exemplary role model; a pinnacle of compassion, determination and resilience. Rest well, Ma’am, your work here is done.

Heidi Blyth

Thank you for your lifetime of dedication as our Queen. You have always been a wonderful role model to our nation through the consistency in your values. In particular, your integrity and reliability. You have steered Great Britain and the Commonwealth through many decades of change and stood steadfast at the helm. Thank you for your wonderful service.

Helena Blake

Her Royal Highness the Queen will be greatly missed. She served her country, the Commonwealth nations and indeed the world, with a strong sense of duty, compassion and love. She was an inspiration to us all, our ‘strength and stay’, and will be greatly missed.

Helen Bates

Your Royal Highness: Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. You were an institution in your own right and your son has a great deal now to live up to, however, he has watched you and learnt from you all these years and you have led by example in the most dignified and caring way, so I expect he will fulfill his new role now excellently and make you, Prince Philip and the whole nation extremely proud. God's speed Your Majesty, from your adoring subjects, and of course, 'Long Live the King!!'

Helen Roberts (Lawson)

Magnificent, humble, knowledgeable, always showed a genuine interest in whatever she was watching or doing, found time to speak to people, cared for her subjects... the list could go on. Queen Elizabeth was a shining example to all of us throughout her life.

Helen Throp

The Queen was a good woman and her passing is a national tragedy. I am praying for her soul and for her family at this troubled time.

Herald Bonnici

We mourn the passing away of a Queen, a symbol and Head of the Commonwealth. Perhaps few inspired the world such as her and we all looked up to her.

She was a constant force who seemed able to ride above any wave. A coloumn that withstood the test of time, omens and all.

Rest in peace Your Majesty.

Hilary Elizabeth Matheson

Queen Elizabeth II is the only Monarch I have known - the fact that she is a woman is exceptionally special for me and many others. She showed me how to be joyful, have a sense of humour, be empathic and compassionate - what a role model. I will never see another Queen as Monarch; in fact, most individuals alive today will not see a female Monarch as we have male heirs. I feel sad but grateful to be part of such history - RIP QE2.

Hiran Amarasekera

Upholding principle of neutrality dedication to all the principles of a constitutional monarchy, yet the ability to change according to changing times and maintaining all these throughout her reign is simply amazing. Her Majesty’s Service to the country, the Commonwealth, and the world was amazing and will be missed.

Condolences to her family.

Long live the Queen

Hon Wing Hau

I am very sad to hear of the loss of a great Queen. My sincerest condolences to the Royal Family at this time. May she rest in peace.

Dear Queen Elizabeth,
You have served the country well for decades, REST IN PEACE!

Hugh Herring

Thank you Ma'am for everything. You were the strength and stay of the whole United Kingdom, the whole Commonwealth and the world through your seven-decade reign, with service and duty till the very end. You were the nation's relative we all thought we had. We will never see another monarch like you again. Rest In Peace Your Majesty and God Save The King.

Jack Sperry, Vice President for Democracy & Development of Warwick Students' Union

I personally am, as I am sure much of the Warwick community are, immensely saddened at the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She was an inspiration to us all; her dignity, absolute, her commitment to duty, unyielding and her love for her people, boundless. She was the rock of our nation and in many ways represented the soul of it as well. I am, however, comforted by the fact that His Majesty King Charles III will continue this great legacy. I am therefore grateful to Her for setting such an example. Whilst this is time for mourning and reflection, I am uplifted to be able to say with pride: God Save The King!

Jacquelyn Wong

My heartfelt condolences. I pray that you are surrounded by God's comforting love.

Jake Schogger

Thank you for your many decades of incredible service. You were a credit to the country and served us all with constant grace and dedication.

James King

I am proud to have had the honour and privilege to have served Her Majesty The Queen in both the Territorial Army and the Special Constabulary. Thank you Ma'am for seventy glorious years of service to your country and people and to the world. May you rest in peace. God Save the Queen. God Save the King.

Jamillah Hocking, Alumni

Having been a positive constant my whole life, the passing of HM The Queen caught me off guard, to say the least, though somewhat expected considering her poor health the past few months. I am truly saddened and feel a significant loss that can’t be explained. She was one of a kind and will truly be missed not only by the British people but by so many across the world who looked up to her with so much admiration. May her soul rest in peace.

Jane Charlotte Bonnick

I have known the Queen since I was 11 when she came to the Throne, my first glimpse of her was when she and the Duke of Edinburgh drove past on the A5 in Cheshire, all our school were there and many other schools lining the route. It was thrilling to see her in person even though it was only a glimpse. I never forgot that day. She was a wonderful monarch and she really was one of the people. Rest in Peace.

Janet Law

It is an extremely sad day for lots of people, not only those of her lands, but many across the world will mourn and remember just how much good all those under her governance have achieved in seventy years, as well as how kind she was. So much has changed since her coronation but see how great her majesty was, in delivering messages of stable, safe and strong support to her people throughout the years. She set the example of what compassion for people looks like. Her Royal Highness the Queen will be sadly missed, I send my deepest condolences to His Majesty the King and to the whole Royal Family.

Jan Sayer

Your Majesty, King Charles III, I am saddened by the death of your mother, who reigned for the whole of my lifetime. I always felt proud to be one of her subjects. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. As a fellow Christian, I share her faith, and know that she is now in heaven with our Lord, but I also know that this does not lessen the sense of grief and loss you must feel. Please know that I shall pray for you and your family. With heartfelt sympathy.

Jaswinder MacDonald

So very sad to hear the news about our Queen. She was a beautiful queen who reigned with compassion.
I was only Ten years old when she walked over to me to say hello (can still clearly remember her beautiful smile) after having declared Prince Philip Park opened in Kota Kinabalu Sabah Malaysia previously known as North Borneo, in the 1960s.
She's the nation's queen!
Ma'am you will be so dearly missed!

Jayden Leung

Rest in peace, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth. We will miss you forever and ever.

Jayne Nickalls

Together with my family, I mourn the death of the Queen. We had the deepest admiration for her and all she did. I send my deepest condolences to His Majesty the King and to the whole Royal Family.

Jayne O'Callaghan

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has reigned for all of my lifetime, 55 years. I was lucky to meet the Queen in 1988 when she opened the Royal Priors shopping centre in Royal Leamington Spa. I was working for Marks & Spencer at the time, she commented on how smart we looked in our uniforms ( A cream dress with a navy blue and red print on with a navy belt). I remember how small she was but immaculately dressed with a beautiful smile. It was the highlight for me and i was so excited to see her. I would like to send my deepest sympathy to all of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who have sadly lost a wonderful lady in there lives. There will never be another Monarch like her and may she now rest in peace with her beloved husband.

Jean-Philippe Hamon

Toutes mes condoléances aux habitants du Royaume, from Brittany.

Jenny Killingbeck

Thank you for being our Queen. We will miss you . God speed. "Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end; .... And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow. And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand, Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand." Sonnet 60

Jessica Cotterill

In these past few days, I've been surprised by how much I miss someone I've never met... Whilst inevitable, the news still packed a punch. Echoing the words of others here, our nation's matriarch will be greatly, greatly missed. Condolences to the family and close friends of HRH, and to a country that finds itself adrift over the coming days of national mourning.

It is wih great sorrow and sadness that the Queen will no longer be with us. I always admired her tenacity, compassion and leadership.

You have set a high standard for those that follow. Long live the King!

May you eternally rest in peace

Kevin Zhang

London bridge is down.

I was shocked when I learnt yesterday of the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Her contribution to the United Kingdom is incalculable, and her reputation is world-renowned. I still remember her speech when she is 21 aged birthday that 'I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.'

She did it, she persisted in her position until the last day of her life for the glory of the British Empire.

Khaled Zulfacar

My Deep Condolences to the Royal Family, on the sad loss of HM. I remember when I joined the University in early 2012 as a distant learner in WBS, the first thing I did when I visited London for the first time was to visit the Buckingham Palace change of guards ceremony, and to my luck, she was going out with her car and I saw her, and I waived to her, and she waived back to me ... She will be really missed.

Khash, Student

Queen Elizabeth II will be missed. She was whom many looked upon to throughout the world as an example.

Kim Harris

After many years of loyal service our Queen, Elizabeth II, passed away. She has gone on to another life to be by the side of her beloved husband Phillip. May She rest in peace. May Her family find solace in the outpouring of grief from the whole nation, Commonwealth and the world.

Kim Harrison, Alumni

Ma’am, Thank you for your service. You are irreplaceable. Be at rest now.

Kirsten R Billingsley

The news was received with great sadness in America. A resident of England for only 18 months, though always appreciative of this inspiring woman, I mourn as a one-time subject with the rest of the UK at the loss of an extraordinary leader and exemplar. My condolences to her family, friends and to all who knew her best. God be with you. May you find peace in the coming weeks and joy in cherished memories in the years to come.

Kogila Balakrishnan

As a citizen of the Commonwealth of Nations, a Chevening alumnus and a former diplomat of the Malaysian Government, I am deeply saddened by the news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. For us in the Commonwealth, the Queen through her loving and compassionate leadership had been the magnet that had kept the spirit of the Commonwealth alive for 70 years. Personally, as a female, I had always looked up to the Queen as my role model since my childhood days. I have admired her multi talented capabilities, charisma and confidence. She will remain an inspiration to many of us and will be dearly missed. God bless.

Kylash Makenji

As an alumnus, I am deeply saddened to learn of Queen Elizabeth II's recent passing. My deepest condolence goes to the Royal family and people of the UK. Her Majesty The Queen was indeed an epitome of strength and excellence in many ways, including elegance, grace, dignity, unity, resilience, and upholding her utmost duty to her nation and the world until her very last moments. Coming from one of the Commonwealth countries in South East Asia, I still hold vivid memories of the late HMTQ's visit to my hometown during my younger school days back then. She was very beautiful, gracious and ever polite to everyone wherever she went. May God bless her soul.

Leo Gubien

A wonderful Queen who served our country to the end. Always steadfast, regardless of what was going on in the world. Such a sad sad loss felt by all who loved her. She always carried out her duties with a smile and her sense of dress was absolutely fabulous. Rest now our Queen, your duties are done, reunited now with your lovely Philip. I will always hold you in my heart.

Lindsey Marr

My heart felt condolences and deepest sympathy for King Charles III, all of the Royal Family. The Queen held herself with such dignity and grace in service to our nation and the commonwealth.

Queen Elizabeth II has been an institution in herself and an extremely long serving monarch of Britain.

The values that she followed through her life will be the legacy that she leaves to the Royal Family and to the people as guiding principles going forward.

An enormous loss to all. Queen Elizabeth reigned throughout my life. Her Majesty's dedication to her family, to the people of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Commonwealth was so very strong and deep. To the end she called herself our servant.
God Bless.

Margot James, Executive Chair of WMG

All my colleagues at WMG will feel the loss of our Queen, each in their own personal way. I am sure I can speak for many though when I pay tribute to her life of dedicated service to our country and the Commonwealth. The Queen embodied the very best of Great Britain and Northern Ireland with her selfless sense of duty. The immense difference she made to our lives, she has been the only monarch we have ever known and will live with us forever. We send our deepest sympathy and condolences to all members of the Royal Family at this very sad time. Long live the King.

Margot Lin

Although I am not a British citizen, still I grew up seeing Queen Elizabeth's images on TV, newspaper and everywhere, she's like a foreign granny living next door to me. Before I came to UK I even practice my spoken English by listening to her Christmas speech every year. Her sense of duty and dedication to her work, her people and her country is remarkable. Knowing that she's gone feels like the end of an era. Sincere condolence to her family and British people. Good luck to the new monarch King Charles.

Maria Gan

Thank you for everything Your Majesty! You will never be forgotten. Sleep tight our beautiful Queen.

My thoughts this morning are with the Royal Family as they mourn the loss of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

An oasis of steadfast calm and fortitude throughout a long and eventful reign, she served as a constant reference point and example to so many for so long that Her Majesty inspired generations in her own lifetime.

My hope is that her example and values will be a source of comfort in the days to come.

Martin Haynes

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace. God Save the King.

Mateen Sheiykh

The Queen provided a great service not just to her own people but also to the people of the Commonwealth including my country of India. So it is only right, that I pay respect in my own language to represent the diversity of the Commonwealth. The Queen is the ‘Jaan of the Commonwealth and Pudi to the stomach’

Maureen Frances Isherwood, Alumni

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the second was a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to us. She possessed great powers of diplomacy, kindness, empathy, and compassion. She had been the ruler of this country for most of my life, and I will miss her common sense approach and sense of humor. My sincere condolences go to the Royal Family at this very sad time.

My deepest sympathy and most heartfelt condolences to our new King, his siblings, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and the Queen Consort .

God save our King

Miguel Paiva Lacerda

Queen Elizabeth II will go down in History as a beacon of stability and a perennial source of comfort for her subjects during her reign, the longest ever in the history of the United Kingdom. She embraced fully what Providence had reserved for her, and excelled in the fulfillment of the noble mission she embraced wholeheartedly. The British people should feel forever privileged for having had her as their Queen, if only because, whilst Her Majesty is mourned like a dear grandmother by her countrymen, other peoples, less fortunate, are tormented by rulers who choose to act rather as fiend than a friend to many of their co-nationals. She will be remembered for the unceasing enthusiasm with which she performed her duties, thus turning the verses that England´s foremost writer used to describe his Motherland into a perfect definition of herself and the feelings she inspired on her subjects: “model to thy inward greatness, like little body with a mighty heart”.

Mike Shipman, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International)

A life well lived - of truth, honour and service to others.

Mingjie Zhang

Her Majesty, RIP.

It was a regret that I didn't write you a letter when I studied in the UK. But it's good to see your reunion with your parents, husband and cute corgis.

I am deeply saddened at the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who has, for as long as I know, been admired worldwide for her leadership & devotion. I extend sincere condolences to the Royal Family, the entire United Kingdom and the Commonwealth over this irreplaceable loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find support knowing that her unwavering and lifelong dedication towards the good and charity will be long remembered.

Mirany Raminoarivony

It seems that the world has lost a benevolent Mother, a loving Parent and a dedicated Leader. To many, you passed away but you will stay alive. Rest in peace Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Miriam Gordon

Though it was with deep sadness that I heard the news of Her Majesty the Queen's passing, I would like to express my gratitude and respect towards Her Majesty who remained steadfast and dutiful to the end. You are and will continue to be an inspiration to many across the world.

To Your Majesty, may God bless you as you enter your final rest and thank you for your service.

Mohammad Ahmadi

My heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family and all United Kingdom lovely people, my British friends , colleagues and friends from commonwealth countries, as an international member of Warwick university we are with you in this difficult time. Let me show my respect to her Majesty Queen Elizabet II (Legendary and un deniable world leader) with Persian famous poetry from Saadi as: بنی‌آدم اعضای یک دیگرند که در آفرينش ز یک گوهرند چو عضوى به‌درد آورَد روزگار دگر عضوها را نمانَد قرار تو کز محنت دیگران بی‌غمی نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی The translation is as follows: "Human beings are body parts of each other, In creation they are indeed of one essence. If a body part is afflicted with pain, Other body parts uneasy will remain. If you have no sympathy for human pain, The name of human you shall not retain."

Mohammed Bodrul Jamal

Without the Queen my life would have been very different. Through a wave of immigration in the 60s and 70s my parents came for a better life and that's exactly what they got. Their children would go onto to contribute so much to a society that has become the standard to reach by other nations. It's through the Queen's dedication to her people, and to her society has the United Kingdom been able to prosper so much. She's the grandmother I never met, but she can now rest in piece knowing that her life's work has been so valued by people of all walks of life. Thank you HM Queen Elizabeth II.

Mohammed Faisal, Alumni

Heartfelt condolences to the entire nation and the world for losing a prime example of compassion. HM The Queen, Your memory will forever remain. Thank you for being instrumental in shaping the modern world.

Mohammed-Faosy Adeniran

Rest in peace, your royal majesty! Know that your departure from the earth just made one of my dream unfulfilled! I have longed for a Royal Handshake from you! Rest in peace Mother to Nations!

Monia Mtar

I felt a great sense of sadness at the death of Her Majesty The Queen. She has been a figure of stability throughout the century. May she rest in peace. My sincere condolences to the Royal Family.

Monika Michniak (Peimel)

Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth II will be deeply missed. Beyond Great Britain. For me she will always be an example of true Leadership, always displaying calmness and dedication, such rare and precious values in the modern world. My heartfelt condolences.

Mr. Christopher Baldock

Many of your subjects are grateful for your steadfast reign of integrity and upholding family and country unity and traditions. Despite criticisms of privilege, you and the family did this without a special university education or the security of no national war, a freedom which many enjoy nowadays. You and the family coped without any privacy from the glare of media attention and family breakups. We hope Charles III can continue just some of your considerable achievements.

Mr. Halil Okur

It is with great sadness that I have learned of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. During her seven decades of glorious and gracious reign, Her Majesty had been a shining example of devoted public duty, calm and stability for the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the world, even during the most tumultuous periods of time. I extend my deepest condolences to the Royal Family and the British people and join the people all over the world in mourning her death.

Muhammad Abdul Rehman

My condolences on the loss of HM The Queen. As an alumnus from Pakistan, a special bond is shared since she was the first Queen of our homeland until 1956. I am attaching a memorable picture of her where the gown was embroidered with the three emblems of Pakistan.

Nader Saremi Namin

Condolences from Italy.

Nathan Cox

The Queen did so much for the country and the Commonwealth. Her dedication will never be forgotten and her legacy will live on through the inspiration she gave to so many. Rest in Peace, Your Majesty.

Neil Woodward

An astonishing reign and an unwavering dedication to duty, a model of tact and diplomacy who never put a foot wrong. Yet maintained a sense of humour despite what was happening. I doubt we will ever see her like again, truly part of the greatest generation.

Ng Poh Ling

Although I do not know the Queen personally, I have the utmost respect for her character and kind personality. May she rest in peace.

Nick Spokes, Alumni

I never met Her late Majesty, but I've never known life under any other monarch, so I feel more than a bit numb today. With Her honesty, discretion, dutifulness, and devoted service, she provided a shining example for us all. R.I.P. Elizabeth II.

Nicole Hsu

May your soul rest in peace and guard the people on the ground with your smile, our beloved queen.

Nidaa Randerian

'My whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service' - The Queen

She would never look away from this pledge that she made at 25. She knew when to get in the way and when to get out of the way - to always think about what she would do next. She was smart, beautiful, and made it very clear to all the brilliant men around her that SHE was The Queen and they were not the king. She showed all women how strong they could be and she did this for a whopping 70 years!!! An epoch has passed - 70 years, 15 prime ministers, and ONE QUEEN. A TRUE AMBASSADOR, who symbolised the best for her nation, even in her twilight years as a nonagenarian. She inspired me and many others, and was an unforgettable woman. She leaves a HUGE VOID. You will be missed, Your Majesty. May you Rest in Peace

Nilesh Sachdev

I am deeply saddened by the news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. She was and will remain the most inspirational leader of our world, giving her life to unity and inspiring the world to work together for the common good. Her Majesty’s unfailing service through duty is an example for us all.

I send my deepest condolences to His Majesty the King and to the whole Royal Family.

Nishita Raje

I am saddened to hear of the demise of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Her Majesty the Queen devoted her entire life to the service of the nation, living up to the pledge she had made when she took over the reins of the throne. Her zeal and commitment to the service of the nation were exemplary.

She made history not only as one of the longest monarchs but as one of the most intelligent one. Speaking at the LSE to the economists in 2008, she asked how no one had seen the possibility of the financial crisis erupting.

I extend my deepest sympathies to the Royal Family and the people of UK.

Olasunmade Emiloju, Alumni

Despite that you were 96 years old, it is still a shock to process that you have passed on. We became so used to having you as a stabilizing, hope-inspiring figure in our very uncertain world, it is just so hard to imagine a world where you are not in it. May your soul rest in peace.

Olayinka Ajayi

Sincere condolence from my wife and I to the Royal Family upon the passing of our loving Queen.

Oliver Turner

I have a profound and deep respect for Her Majesty The Queen. She is a giant of 20th and 21st Century British history. She was a rock of constitutional stability during a time of seismic political and social change. The Queen's stoicism, her sense of duty and her relentless consistency are admirable qualities, and they have been an asset to the UK for over 70 years.

Her personal commitment to the Commonwealth is also admirable. Nelson Mandela's decision to take South Africa into the Commonwealth in 1994 speaks to the fact that it is an important, modern coming together of nations, not simply a relic of post-Empire.

The UK has many problems and many changes need to be made. Abolishing the monarchy is not one of them. It is an anachronism, but it contains and absorbs many contradictions about Britain, and may even be a safeguard against the authoritarian demagoguery seen in other countries, from the USA to Russia, from Brazil to Hungary.

"Thank you, Ma'am. For everything."

Olutayo Omotoso

Deepest condolences to the royal family and all concerned. Requiescat in peace!

Paola De Franceschi

During my time in the UK, I always felt grateful for HM the Queen and the royal family members for their dedicated service to the country. HM the Queen is like the heart and the centre of the nation. My deepest condolences to the royal family.

Patrick Hayes

So sorry to hear about the passing of Queen Elizabeth. She was a great monarch, a deep thinking, wise and considerate person. The country will not be the same with out her. "Flight of Angels sing thee to rest." May she rest in peace. Amen.

Paul Kent, Student

In an age of celebrity and fame you stand out as the original public figure, one who took the responsibility of public life seriously and lived up to the calling. You lived with honour, when many around you failed to do so, and acted as a public servant to this nation broadcasting decency and honesty to the world on behalf of the British People and the Commonwealth. You will be missed.

Paul Levy

You modeled loyalty and service. A real inspiration.

Paulo Eduardo Santos Morais

Thank you for your life of service and commitment. You were an inspiration for the whole world.

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II will be missed by many, not least the peoples of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. She was a bright beacon of light that gave comfort and inspiration to all.

Paul Whiteside

I was deeply saddened and shaken emotionally to hear the news of the death of our beloved monarch Queen Elizabeth II. She was with me all my life and I will miss her living inspiration. My commiserations go to all of the late-Queens family at this sad time. May she now rest in eternal peace in the knowledge that the country is in the safe hands of her much-loved son Charles and his wife Camilla. God Save King Charles III.

Paul Wilby

I would not count myself as a royalist, my view has always been that as long as they don't bother me I won't bother them. But, I've actually felt sadness over her death and feel that the world has lost someone who understood the concept of service and duty and remained an immovable rock in a time of change and erosion of the family and supporting others. Rest in Peace.

Pr. Malika Haoucha, Alumni

As a former student at Warwick University for both a Master's and a Ph.D. degree, I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family and to all the British people during these hard moments. I had the chance to do a master's degree partly thanks to a fellowship that is one of the financial supports through charity and, for that, I am so grateful, for it gave me the opportunity to discover the British culture and the British people whose kindness and way of life have marked me. When I finished my master's degree I went back to my dear country, Morocco, and during my first job as a lecturer at Alakhawayn University, I had the chance to meet the present King, HM Charles the third, then a prince, and I was impressed by his sense of humour and modesty. May the late Queen rest in peace. God save the new King.

Prof. Bizhan Pourkomailian

Our Queen has left us from this world and will be waiting for us in the next. While we had the honour of her presence we felt secure and loved. She was an extra ordinary woman and she achieved and incredible level achievements. We will miss her dearly, but believing that she is in a peaceful place brings joy. My deepest condolences to the Royal family. I as one of her subjects will do my part to keep her legacy alive.

Prof. Dr. Andreas Jonen

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II served the nation like nobody else. God bless you!

Professor Alison Cooley

The energy and commitment with which Her Majesty the Queen has served this country have been inspirational to all. She leaves behind a unique legacy and a challenge to all of us to serve our community with similar vigour. Requiescat in peace.

Professor Georgy Koentges, School of Life Sciences

Sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangunt./solue metus; feret haec aliquam tibi fama salutem.

I pledged the oath on the Queen some years ago in admiration of her dignity, life-long service and humility. She epitomized these Islands as a branch of a common European tree, fostering reconciliation wherever she could: an ever-fixéd mark that looked on tempests and was rarely shaken. In 2010 she highlighted Climate Change as one of the most pressing issues. In 2011 she aptly cited this proverb: “We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love. And then we return home.“

Thinking of her last night, Jessye Norman's Purcell came to my mind. Dido: When I am laid in earth, /May my wrongs create/No trouble in thy breast;/Remember me, but ah! forget my fate. CHORUS: With drooping wings you Cupids come/To scatter roses on her tomb. Soft and Gentle as her Heart /keep here your watch, and never part.

Professor Robin Clark, Dean of WMG and Head of Department.

The death of Her Majesty The Queen is a solemn and poignant moment for our nation, the commonwealth and the world, and on behalf of all of us at WMG at the University of Warwick, I offer our heartfelt condolences to her family. Her Majesty's dedicated and committed service to her people and to her country has been an example to generations in Britain, throughout the Commonwealth and across the world. The Queen's life has been a shining light for us all throughout her momentous reign. Her Majesty has been an unwavering constant for so many of us, guiding the nation through times of challenge and times of celebration. We send our deepest sympathies to her family at this most difficult of times. At the same time, we are profoundly thankful for a life lived well, a life lived long and happily, and, most of all, a life lived in service to the nation.

Rachael Thompson-Holmes

I'm deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Monarch, Her Majesty The Queen. She will be remembered for her steadfast loyalty and service.

Godspeed 🤍

Rafael Casimir WH Oei

My prayers go out to Her Royal Family. She was THE Queen to me. Her Majesty exuded Dignified Royalty in her demeanour, behaviour, and attitude effortlessly. With a beautiful smile, there was a naturalness about her that never seemed arrogant or ostentatious to me. She rose to her office with poise and grace. What a wonderful reign she had. Well Done, Your Majesty. Well Done! May perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.

My condolences to the Royal Family at this difficult time. We will all miss Queen Elizabeth, who brought dignity, grace, wisdom and a truly exceptional dedication to a lifelong role. Her legacy will live on in the lives of the British people and all those around the world.

Rebecca Lenton

While reports of her health seemed to suggest this was an event to be "expected" - it still came as a surprise and a shock to hear of her Majesty's passing. She has been (for many) a grandmother-like figure, always there; a steady constant.

She will be sorely missed by myself and countless others across the globe. Rest in peace, your Majesty. My sincere condolences to the Royal Family at this time.

Reine Fung

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II lived her life of duty and service faithfully to the end. She was and still is an example of faithful duty and service to us all. May Her late Majesty live in the eternal love of God the Father for evermore. Thank you for establishing a well-balanced legislative and judiciary system in HK before and starting up other facilities etc that all helped to turn a small fishing village into a metropolitan city. The Mid-Autumn Festival (similar to Valentines' day but also a family gathering festival) is coming up in HK and hope Her late Majesty can meet Prince Phillip in heaven again.

I offer my deepest condolences to the Royal family, their friends and the Commonwealth for their immense loss. During her long reign her Majesty served with dignity, grace and vision whilst never losing her sense of humour, delighting us with her Olympic 2012 performance and her recent tea with Paddington. She promoted a wonderful set of values which she lived by and which we should endeavour to emulate in her memory. Her legacy to the world is beyond compare. My thoughts are with her family at this sad time for us all.

Elizabeth:

'The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.' (Buckingham Palace)

The Union Jack flails at half mast,
The now seems a second slower.
She has overseen our collective past,
We are all so lucky to have known her.

She stood tall with her body weak,
Though her gentle voice may no longer trill.
Heads held downcast, all feeling meek,
She overlooks us from the highest hill.

Though her beaming smile radiates no more,
We wage war with the grief we feel,
Wiping away the tears that pour:
Britain is a family and together we heal.

I wish she had more time to share with us,
And now that she lays down to rest,
In our newfound King we may trust,
With such a noble son we are all blessed.

Sada Daoud

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll has unified her country in her life and death. May her soul rest in peace.

Sanchia Goonewardene

Dear King Charles and Queen Camilla and Royal Family members,

It is with much sadness I learnt of the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth the Great. There was no other monarch like her, so gracious, so wise and patient, would that we could all be like her. We have lost the nations' greatest treasure, a shining hope and inspiration for others, in times of darkness. She will always be noted as the young girl, who was called back from Kenya, and then so effortlessly, despite the loss of her father, stepped into a role, to lead a nation and Commonwealth for decades. Such bravery and courage the world has never seen. Everyone she met loved her and made time for everyone. She will always be our much loved Queen Elizabeth. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you and your family at this time. We will pray for you.

A servant always,

Sanchia Goonewardene and family

Miss SS Goonewardene

Sara Broughton

I think for the multiple generations of us who have only ever experienced life under her reign, we massively underestimated how much Her Majesty's image and constant presence formed a part of our every day lives and, by extension, an aspect of our identities. It is only now that change has come that we are realising the scale of the loss and, perhaps, that we took her constant presence for granted.

I feel she learned so much of how she conducted herself as a monarch from her father; two people who were never supposed to be monarchs who became humble, personable and accessible leaders. How lucky we are, I feel, to have lived during her reign and such a significant period in our country's history.

Thank you, Your Majesty, for your lifetime of service.

Sarah Brennan

My sincerest condolences to the Royal family. I am sure they will feel the unwavering support from around the world, and in particular the United Kingdom,
The Queen was an inspiration to millions of people during her 70 years of service, and she will continue to be so. She will be deeply, deeply missed.

Sarif Hossain

India mourns the loss of a monarch, who despite history championed the prominence and cause of the nation. Our deepest condolences to the Royal Family she leaves behind. A stalwart leader across decades she has been an inspiration and a model of leadership. From Nehru to Indira to Modi throughout independent India’s history she has been a constant pillar of support. As a true leader she has emphatically maintained the position in the nation and in the world.

A woman to look up to and dream of the legacy. The queen era seems to end. Humbled by the opportunities you lit up.

Simon Cantrell

It is a time which we will only see once in our lifetime, the ending of the second Elizabethan era. Her Majesty The Queen was an inspiration to many around the world with her kindness, leadership and tenacity. Our family would like to offer our deepest condolences to the Royal family. My mother watched the Coronation on a new TV which her father had just purchased in 1952. She also recalls watching the Queen’s wedding to Philip. In particular, she remembers that they were a happy family, and her father, The King, was a very sincere person. We should all aspire to follow in her example, as we reflect on her memory, and her lifetime of achievements. Our thoughts are with the Royal family at this time. May she rest in peace.

Stephen Greenwood

I experienced deep sadness & shock on learning about the death of the Queen. The Queen was our refuge in times of national and international emergency. Her loss will be greatly felt by all who came to depend on her to express what we all feel in times of national crisis, and to offer support to those meeting the challenge.

I have a special regard for the Royal Family and pride that my Great Uncle E. Stanley Roper became Kings Organist at chapels Royal until his death in 1953. He played at the funeral of the late King George VI. Had he lived, it is likely he would have played at Elizabeth's coronation.

My wife and I have visited Sandringham in order to pay our respects and were greatly moved to witness the astonishing carpet of flowers around the Norwich Gate.

Stephen Jones

I would like to offered my deepest condolences the Royal family on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth II. It feels like I personally have lost a member of my family, even though I did not know her personally, she has always been Queen. I recall as a child waiting patiently to get a glimpse of her, has she passed in her car when she toured the UK to celebrate the Silver jubilee. Its only now I appreciate what a commitment that must have been to travel 1000 of miles around the UK. I read her quote own quote about grief being the price of love. The grief I am feeling now makes me realise how much I loved her. She will be missed.

I have tried to write this message many times, I am finding it as difficult as writing something for a member of one of my family. Perhaps that is all that needs to be said. I feel the weight of grief on me as though I have lost someone incredibly dear to me.

Syman Wong

I was born and living in a autocratic country where the leaders are nominally 'presidents elected by people' but actually dictators who abuse their powers for their own sakes at the cost of the dignity and rights of their citizens. That is why I admire the queen so much who had been indeed devoting herself to serving the UK by sacrificing her freedom and power since her age of 25. She was not only a symbol of the UK, the Commonwealth but a witness and vivid proof of the progress of democracy. Her legacy shall inspire everyone, especially those who are still ruled and trembled by authoritarians and dictators. May she rest in peace.

Tarek Tawfik

My utmost sincere condolences to the British and Canadian people. As a Canadian I feel the loss and mourning.

I hope her legacy of uniting people and minimizing conflicts carries on through her heirs.

Thomas Bicknell

For everything you've done for us and all the hard times you've guided us through, embodying Britishness to the absolute every step of the way, thank you. God Save the Queen.

Thomas Cillian Thomas Godbehere

God bless Her Majesty the Queen, her family, and all her subjects in the wake of her death. It is the end of an era.

As we all become Elizabethans, we should look back on Her Majesty's reign fondly and we should try to exhibit those virtues which she so well exhibited for all her many years in honour of her memory. The world will never quite be the same again as when our beloved monarch sat upon the throne; she will be sorely missed.

May she be remembered with charity for her character and her devotion to her lands and peoples, their customs and traditions: for what she achieved in troubled times rather than for the ills of the times that were thrown upon her. That she may rest in peace with her beloved husband, Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the equally long serving and duty-bound rock of our nation's rock, her Majesty.

Farewell, Elizabeth Regina.

The Queen is dead, God save the King.

Thomas Galinas

Truly, a queen of the world. Rest in peace.

Thomas Garth

Her Majesty the Queen embodied the best of Britain, an example of service not rivaled by anyone else in public life. We must all learn to stand up for these values, and for our brilliant country which HM loved so much. Rest in peace, and God save the King.

Tommy Poon

Your love to all and what you had done will be always in our heart! Thank you and rest in peace - Your Majesty.

Tony Ingram

It is with great sadness that the Queen has died, she ascended to the thrown when I was one year old. She has been a constant throughout my life. As she promised she served without waiver in that role up until her death. A fabulous legacy to be British.

Toyin Adenugba

This is indeed the end of another remarkable Elizabethan Era...

I think, like Elizabeth Tudor (1558 - 1603) whose brilliance and ebullience earned her the sobriquet "Gloriana, The Faerie Queene"; our Elizabeth Windsor (1952 - 2022), through her unwavering dedication and long years of dutiful service has also earned the name "Gloriana, Elizabeth The Great!" 🙌🏽

Rest in Peace Ma'am, Elizabeth Regina! May your tribe increase!👑

Trixi Bücker

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. has been a fixture in my idea of Britain for all of my life - it is difficult to imagine the UK without her. Having lost my own mother this year, I feel the family's pain. And I hope her successors will follow the example of her quiet style of ruling.

Victoria Smith-Majdoub

Queen Elizabeth II was thrust into the role of Head of State at a young age in the midst of the shock of losing her father unexpectedly. The post-war world was on its knees and, rightly so, the British Empire was dismantling. She rose to the challenge of carrying Britain into the next era, and the strength of the Commonwealth today is in no small part due to the confidence that she instilled in world leaders regarding the possibility of friendship in a post-colonial world. That the Commonwealth exists must be credited to her in no small part. As she grew into the role of Queen alongside those of wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother she was stoic, constant and patriotic. Certainly there were difficult times, but what I remember today is a woman who fulfilled her duty to the final hour with grace and good humour. May she rest in perfect peace.

Being an international staff who is not born in the UK, nor being a UK citizen, I still feel much sorrow about the sad news that the Queen has left us, although she is not my queen, she has been the queen of decency, elegance, devotion for almost everyone who knows her. I am deeply touched that she was still doing her job, serving the country and delivering her commitment just 2 days before she left us. I truly believe HM the Queen walked the rainbow over her house to heaven, to join her beloved God, her family and corgis. R.I.P, and thank you very much, I am feeling honoured to spend so far 12 years of my life living and working in the land that was cared and loved by you.
