It's obviously all over the front page.

Sad times indeed. She was a living piece of so much history and a lovely person from what I saw My heart goes to her family in this time

It is with sadness that we learn the news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. My sincere condolences to the Royal Family and to the people of the United Kingdom.

Very sad here in London. A monumental loss.

It was invetivble, but sad

I know it's what you're all thinking, so I went ahead and did the research for you. The Queen had 30 corgis during her reign, and the people want to know what's going to happen to the current 4 dogs now. (Two corgis, a dorgi and a cocker spaniel!) (For those who don't know what a dorgi is, it's the name erected for a corgi who was is mated with a dachshund.)

Ingrid Seward, the royal biographer, has announced that although no official plans have been made, at least publicly, we are to assume the Queen's dogs are going to be taken care of by the family. "I imagine the dogs would be looked after by the family, probably Andrew [as] he's the one that gave them to her, they're quite young, the corgi and the dorgi."

They are in my prayers today. 🙏 <3 <3

I forgot about the dogs! I think the family will take good care of them at least.

As an Aboriginal Canadian I have so very many...feelings...going on.

I am sad...but also thinking this might be the time for changes to happen.

of all the things for staff to cover up and police i didn't think it'd be negative emotions regarding the figurehead of a monarchy notably responsible for genocide, racism, colonizing, xenophobia...

rip to the irish, sudanese, american indigenous, maori, welsh, singaporean, australian indigenous, indian, kenyan, etc etc etc (the list goes on and on. seriously. i'd hit the character limit) peoples that have to witness folks acting like their own sweet innocent grandmother just passed.

i understand at least one member of the staff is british and that we want to respect everyone's feelings. regardless of how you feel about the woman this is a massive world event. but that means you need to let the people still suffering to this day due to the actions of the monarchy have their feelings too.

i'm honestly shocked at the behavior i'm seeing. unexpected and disappointing.

This was just a thread to let people know she passed. She was an important person, like MJ or Betty White was for a lot of us. I'm sorry, but please let's not fight about things. There was no intention to start problems.

u know what's interesting? how this is the only death announcement post in subeta history to ever get a super special "mourning" tag meanwhile all death announcements before it have been completely neutral (kinda like how this post started!), and how dissenting opinions got sniped before an argument even broke out. i just think that's interesting
