Queen Elizabeth II
No matter what your views on the Monarchy are, if you are a British citizen or in the UK at the moment, you will likely feel an element of sadness. I could not have anticipated the sadness I have felt since the news of Queen Elizabeth II's death. This has affected not just the UK but all the countries in the Commonwealth and worldwide. In all honesty, I didn't think there would be a point in my life when Queen Elizabeth was not my Queen. But, of course, if I had actually put some thought into it, I know that the chance of her outliving me when she was 71 years older than me was very slim. But the Queen has been the one and only constant in the UK, for many, the only Monarch we have ever known. No matter what is happening politically in this country, which political party is running the country, or what Prime Minister we have, she has always been there as our Head of State. The Queen was a fantastic woman, and I can say that I didn't fully appreciate this until more recent...
