My deepest condolences to the Royal Family and all those directly connected to Her Majesty. Even as a foreigner residing in the UK, I have always admired Her Majesty for her steadfastness, bravery and humility. Truly, there is no person who has served their country for a longer time, with such dignity. I found a lot of comfort in her constant worldly presence when it seemed everything was in turmoil (as it still is), with so much uncertainty and despair - it was continuity and stability in a sea of a world changing so fast.
I am saddened to think this is the end of an era as we will never see anyone like her but look forward to what the future brings. She gave a wonderful example of leadership and I trust that will continue. I came to study to the UK initially because of her and my fascination with Royal history but I have stayed because of my love for british culture, its people, their grit and determination of being world leaders in many areas - a reflection of what Her Majesty was. Thank you for your inspirational duty.
With kind regards.
