    While working as a doctor in England I used to check the memory of hospitalized elderly..I was given 10 questions like what is ur name.ur date of birth etc.. I was very surprised to see that British people who have forgotten their own names due to old age dementia still remember the name of the queen... It was question no 8 and they always say.. oh doctor you don't know the name of the queen..?.... Elizabeth..........
  • 43:47 "I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short..." gives me goosebumps and now tears when I hear it.  Rest in peach your majesty.

    I’m an American and not much of a royalist, but I admired the queen for being the picture of dignity, poise, and devotion to her people. She wasn’t perfect, but she was remarkable.
  • @susannem3526
    I am not a royalist but the queen was always always there. She was a link to the past and a stable presence when everything else shattered. It feels surreal that she is gone. ❤️from Sweden
  • Phillip came to me today, and said it was time to go. I looked at him and smiled, as i whispered that "I know" I then turned and looked behind me. and saw I was asleep. All my Family were around me, and I could hear them weep. I gently touched each shoulder. with Phillip by my side. Then I turned away and walked, with My Angel guide. Phillip held my hand, as he lead the way, to a world where King's and Queens, are Monarch's every day. I was given a crown to wear or a Halo known by some. The difference is up here, they are worn by everyone. I felt a sense of peace, my reign had seen its end. 70 years I had served my Country, as the peoples friend. Thank you for the years, for all your time and love. Now I am one of two again, in our Palace up above.
  • I just said to myself, the same thing. It feels like the world's Grandma just died. We all loved her in that way. She was an amazing woman, with so much to give. She was The Queen. Never forgotten. ❤️
  • She performed beautifully as her father taught her and then so much more from her own heart and judgment. 👑
  • @SharonY515
    What an iconic and extraordinary woman. I have been crying for 3 days and I’m an American. I feel she was the worlds Queen. We are going to miss her something fierce. Godspeed HM.
  • @rubscratch98
    I love how they had this documentary ready to go.
  • I will never forget meeting the queen on her 80’th birthday tour, it was at Harewood House. I was a serving police officer at the time and was appointed to greet Her Majesty upon her arrival. She extended her hand to shake mine and we exchanged a few pleasantries regarding the tour and the weather 😂 it was a beautiful sunny day and the crowds were huge. She went into the house. I was really surprised how small she was in real life. I will cherish my memories of that day fondly. She was an amazing lady, she dedicated her life to her people for over 70 years, she was a formidable woman and had the ability to relate to people and to relax them in her presence, I was so nervous my knees were knocking together 😂 I will miss her so much, she reminded me of my grandmother. Rest in peace your majesty, you deserve a rest now. 😭🇬🇧💔👏🏻😭🇬🇧💔👏🏻😭🇬🇧💔👏🏻 Edit: Thank you for all the likes and comments, that in itself is truly amazing. 🙏🏼🥰🇬🇧👑
  • When I heard the news the Queen had died it brought on feelings that I had dealt with when my own mother died at 89 in 2013. I considered my mother an earthbound Angel and I’ve always felt the same way about the Queen. It was in the way she carried herself and I could see that each step she took was full of grace. The Queen was many things, A sister, a mother a grandmother and most importantly a shining beacon of stability to her country as well as the whole world. I will say now what I said the day my mother died and now for the Queen, We as a world were made better by witnessing her presence in our world. The world now is a lesser place with out her no longer in it. My condolences to all who grieve with the loss of the Queen. Godspeed to all.
  • Truly a Legendary woman, her name will live on forever. We will probably never see her like again. Consider ourselves lucky to have lived during her time. Rest in peace good Queen.💖💖
  • @joyces.9021
    My mother shares her birthday with the Queen. At age 92, she is still quite proud of that.
  • It feels like the world's Grandma passed away we all respect her loved her and cherished her queen of our country or not and none of us know how to live without her cuz we never had to and she wasn't just strength for the Commonwealth and her countries she was strength for the world and now she's gone
  • I followed the Queen all the time and loved to hear her name being call. Love when people were able to sit with her or just get a glimpse of her. This world has lost a great presence that can not be replaced. Her presence was always near. Even when she was not. Our world is truly changing.
  • @tayclemons
    She was a beautiful woman who carried and managed a LOT of responsibility. My prayer for the family now that the Queen has transitioned, is that they will forgive each other, united and continue building a great Monarchy for generations to come! It can be done.
  • @Amadeu.Macedo
    In Memorium of Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor (1926-2022), Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, daughter of King George VI… May her essence peacefully return to the universal abstraction that prescribes the cosmos as brilliantly as were the 70 years she ruled her noble Kingdom. Long Live the King! - Charles III
  • @euroasiatica1
    She couldn't live further without Prince Philip!!! He was her everything, that's why she decided to join him in heaven!! Bless you Queen Elizabeth!
  • At first, when I checked the duration of this documentary, I thought I do not have this much time now, maybe I'll just see it for a few minutes and then save it for later. But, I was so engrossed watching it, it is so well made, I did not realize it just ended...not just the documentary, but her reign as well.
  • "The question a lot of people here in Britain are asking is where's The Queen?" The Queen was where she was supposed to be. She was with her devastated grandsons. ONE TIME she put her family first. ONE TIME! She made the correct decision in waiting to speak publicly about it. Very good documentary. I will forever miss Her Majesty The Queen. She was simply one of a kind. The best mankind had/has to offer. May she rest in eternal peace.
