    I agree about Charles. You might want to start with this tantrum he had during the signing of the proclamation.

    The Queen was just 7 yrs. older than I, so I remember her as a young girl who grew into a young lady. She insisted on serving her country during WWII, which she did. I remember the day her father died,she became the Queen of that empire. What a daunting job to inherit, but she proved she was up to it so many times to come.

    Rest in Peace, your Majesty. You earned it.

    Rather than be sad the queen died, I am just happy she lived to 96 with dignity. I admire her for not taking the easy road that she could have as royalty, but rather wanting to serve the people.

    When I look at many of the women in high offices in the USA, I must say that they could certainly use some of the former queen's poise, intelligence, fairness, drive, and compassion.

    I admire Queen Elizabeth not because she was royalty and surrounded by wealth, but because she was a strong woman that wanted the best for the people in her country. For me, all the elaborate ceremony for the queen is also a celebration for all the unknown good strong women everywhere that have made the world a better place.

    If anyone thinks that’s a tantrum, they have never seen one.

    It wasn't furiously. He was worried it would fall and he wants it all to go smoothly.

    I'm so impressed with the people who are waiting in line to view Queen Elizabeth's coffin. How can anyone physically wait in line for 24 hours? Do they hire people to come hold their places? I suppose a group could take turns. But what if you are alone?

    It seems like a "reserve a number and wait until you're called" system would be better. Maybe the wait could be cut down to a couple of hours. I suppose that would not work for people coming from out of town.

    Has anyone else been amazed by this?

    The outpouring of love for Her Majesty has been amazing. The line is moving twenty four hours a day. They have porta Johns along the way. I think there is food and water available, too. I don't know how people can go without sleep that long.
