Queen Elizabeth II

The Queen is dead, the Queen is dead. The Great of Great Britain has drawn her last breath. We have lost our great Constant of our country. The effect of her death will resonant throughout the world, a lady that everyone loved and respected.

Queen Elizabeth II has been my Queen for all of my life, I have never known any other monarch during my lifetime. She has steered our country through many difficulties, as well as the good times. The sadness felt across the world is immense, people from all walks of life, from all types of background, such was her reach.

I did not realise how sad I would feel until Thursday when I heard the news. It has affected us all. We have lost a big part of our lives.

At this time we must remember that the Queen has a family and they will be mourning their loss. On behalf of Reform Derby we send them our condolences, at this, the saddest time.

I believe Queen Elizabeth II will become known as Queen Elizabeth the Great. She will be missed by millions of people around the world. Rest in Peace.
