Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully this afternoon, the Royal Family announced on its social media accounts.

Her son Charles, who is now King, will return to London on Friday.

A life time of service. 80% approval rate. Something politicians can only dream of. The death of one little old lady has made the world pause. Quite amazing.

May she rest in peace.

If I had to use 3 adjectives to describe her, I'd maybe come up with these:

1) Stoic
2) Tactful
3) Reponsible

Thoughts?

As adjectives for Her Majesty go, those are very nearly the whole truth of her from what little I will ever know of her.

I think all this just about sums it up. She took her duties very seriously, and that was evidenced in a lot that she did. I'm going to share this entry with a sister of mine, if she hasn't already heard the news. She is very much a fan of the Royal Family.

I didn't know her very well, just as a figure waving in the middle-distance on television during important ceremonies.

I mentioned her death in passing to my significant other, though, and she exploded with "It's about time, and good riddance to that fucking colonizer!"
