If you met The Queen and would like to share a memory, or would simply like to pay your respects, please leave your message here.I should like to pay my respects for the late Queen Elizabeth II. She has marked a great divide in human history, not only because she was the longest -reigning monarch of all times, but because of her class, distinction, discipline, service and humanity. May the Queen rest in peace. It's an honour to have lived during the second Elizabethan era. Being an English teacher, I also admired her for her exquisite accent which will remain as a cornerstone of the English language for eternity. Rest in peace!
