Isn't she like 98 years old?

Been a long life. Seen it all. Hope if serious, it's peaceful.

She’s 96. She was crowned in 1952.

I feel like "close medical attention" is their term for what we might be calling someone on hospice here.

You're probably right.

If anyone wants to watch live coverage of this, SkyNews will have coverage.

Yeah, agree - she's not at a hospital. Or should I say "she's not in hospital."

Twitter is being even weirder than usual about this

Saw earlier where it said that the first British Prime Minister she met with during her reign , Winston Churchill, was born in 1874.. the most recent British PM she met with (Liz Truss), two days ago- was born in 1975…. That is… just incredible .

"Operation London Bridge" is the UK protocol in place for when QE2 eventually passes. Looks like that plan is getting close to underway.

It’s official.. the Queen is gone, welcome King Charles. .. no link, just heard on breaking news

She has passed. RIP. Remarkable life.

Wow. I thought she'd outlive me, and I'm 39.

Long love the King

I feel strangely emotional. I'm not really an anglophile and have no real interest in the royals. I know her position was complicated and included some of the nastiness of the 20th Century.

But she was the Queen for 21 years before I was even born, and my kids know who she is. It's quite remarkable and I feel like some little part of the world that I know, the world that has been in place my whole life, has passed on into history.

It's sad in its own way. The UK will be in mourning and I send my sympathies to the nation and all who treasured Queen Elizabeth II as their monarch, whether in law, tradition, or simply in their own hearts.
