The Concern: The demise of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-serving monarch, on the age of 96.
Queen Elizabeth was a part of the material of British life (“The queen,” Sept. 9).
She was everybody’s mom and grandmother. Each Brit (together with myself) felt a private loss when she handed away.
She shall be a tough act to observe, however I do know that everybody in the UK shall be wishing King Charles III each success in his reign.

There a only a few individuals who deserve our love and respect, and Queen Elizabeth is within the high three.
For many years, she reigned with compassion, equity, patriotism and unselfishness. She was merely a superb woman.
All through her 70 years on the throne, even when issues have been robust both globally or personally, she by no means wavered and stood tall for what she believed in.
Her one misstep might have been not talking quickly sufficient after Princess Diana’s demise, however realizing her mistake, she addressed Nice Britain with sympathy and love. Might God bless her and should she relaxation in peace.

Queen Elizabeth was thrust into the position of monarch lengthy earlier than anticipated. Her response was to go above and past the decision of obligation.
Throughout her 70-year reign, she led Nice Britain by means of peaks and valleys with a relaxed, quiet willpower. She at all times maintained her composure in coping with disaster, whether or not nationwide or private.
She was a task mannequin we must always all attempt to emulate. Throughout her reign, she tailored with the instances, however did so by by no means dropping her grace, class and dignity. Requiescat in tempo.

Few can think about the dignity, inspiration and respect world leaders would command in the event that they emulated the finer qualities that Queen Elizabeth delivered to her reign for 70 years, with out blemish, with out conceit and with out fail.
Who might measure up? Not Russian President Vladimir Putin, not former President Donald Trump and never President Biden.

With the passing of Queen Elizabeth, it’s value discussing the emotional outpouring by hundreds of thousands of individuals all through the world.
A lot of it's defined by her values. As said by Piers Morgan (“Reign ranks supreme,” Sept. 9), she was “a lady who devoted her life to obligation, placing service to her nation above all else.”
In different phrases, it wasn’t about her, nor her ego, however moderately about serving her nation with dignity and knowledge.
Evaluate that to the leaders of present-day America: offended, petty, annoyed, continuously lashing out and demonizing opponents for having the audacity to oppose them.
Nothing is their fault, all errors have to be deflected upon their actual or imagined enemies and self-interest fully overwhelms self-restraint.
The distinction can't be ignored after the demise of such a gracious individual. That makes her loss even better.

Queen Elizabeth, who reigned as England’s longest monarch, was certainly a girl with a whole lot of class and kindness.
She led England with humanity and empathy, at all times searching for the welfare of the British folks.
Now she has ascended the lengthy stairway to that nice huge palace within the sky to be along with her late husband. She left a really heavy mark on world politics, and he or she at all times was the very best of the very best.
Might God lend consolation to the royal household in addition to to the British folks of their hour of unhappiness.
The complete world has misplaced a really excellent human being. All of us will mourn the lack of this excellent queen.
