We knew something was wrong when they interrupted the House of Commons to advise she was under medical supervision. It went quiet as the family headed up to Scotland with TV stations going into pad it out mode with most presenters dressed in black. Harry was still missing when it cut to Huw Edwards announcing she'd gone. I'm neither pro nor anti royalist, but the Queen was almost above royalty even. I had a jolt inwardly as he announced it. Looking on other UK forums, I wasn't alone in being more upset than I expected. Friday at work was kind of subdued and I'm still working it out in my head/heart.
I'm not speaking on behalf of the UK but thanks to everyone for their kind words.
