Upon request, here is a set of four videos of the BBC announcing royal deaths starting with Diana Princess of Wales in 1997, followed by the Queen Mother in 2002, Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh in 2021, and ended with the very recent one for Queen Elizabeth II this year 2022.
The anthem's instrumental rendition from Princess Diana's is different from the other one which was used for the two Queen Elizabeths and Prince Philip. This means that the latter is used for 20 years.

BEFORE YOU ASK WHERE'S PRINCESS MARGARET'S, READ THIS PINNED COMMENT FIRST! IF YOU KEEP ASKING ON IT, NO REPLY!
Many people have asked this channel: Where's Princess Margaret's announcement? My answer to that is I have not seen any upload of that breaking news announcement with the British anthem until now. In what I see, there are no uploads of it on YT. This is the reason why it is missing in this compilation of royal death announcements.
If there is a video of the announcement itself with the anthem, you may comment the link here in this comment box. Thank you.
This is the closest thing I found. th-cam.com/video/Ptkb7idKNA4/w-d-xo.html
I've watched that before. But no "God Save the Queen" was featured in it.
How about king george's passing?
Television wasn't widely used then. Though I heard a radio announcement of it, I haven't heard "God Save the Queen" after it.
@@paolocabling ok nice
These announcements especially with the national anthem, makes me have chills.
But me im scared
It gets me f*****g scared
@@girraduck If im right, isnt it because when this types of announcements comes up not only it can mean a Royal is dead but UK is declaring war of some sort.
Was coming home in the car after visiting family, Turned the radio on, Anthem was playing, Someone said "Bit odd for them to play the anthem isn't it?" And they broke the news.
Which one? The queen?
@@abbycollins Should've specified, I meant Prince Philip.
God save the King!
God Save The King
God save the king
I still can't believe the Queen is gone. She was such a constant presence. God save the king.
You're not alone. We all feel the same. I'm no Brit but I grew up knowing her for I am a royal fan from coins to stamps, from books to docus. But she needs to rest. God save the King!
Same
Same feeling, lads. I still miss her majesty..
Same. It’s still really weird to think that she’s dead. Even though I’m American I was so sad when I heard the news :(
Same i collect coins im very sad i wont see her majesty face on my new coins 😭😭😭😭🌹🌹🌹
i’m not even british but the anthem gives me chills
Ask the people of Kenya, Diego Garcia etc about what the British government did to them, then you will realise why you get the chills when hearing this pompous song praising a group of thieves and arrogant wrongdoers.
@@larrydickman5936 nah I don’t care. Still gives me the chills (in a positive way)
@@larrydickman5936 lol cry
@@larrydickman5936 still a good anthem
I was watching broadcast live here in NYC, USA, and stood up in my living room as God Save The Queen was played.
That last one still gives me chills. I saw the notification on my phone from bbc saying "Queen Elizabeth II" and I was like "istg this better not be a death announcement"
As an American college student, it was absolutely heartbreaking to see Her Majesty's health decline so quick after HRH Prince Philip passed. What the two had was true love. You can even tell during her platinum jubilee, she may have known in her eyes it would be the last time she saw her people.
Long live the King🇬🇧
R.I.P
Princess Diana 1961-1997
The Queen Mother 1900-2002
HRH Prince Philip 1921-2021
HM The Queen 1926-2022
I don't know much about royal family but Diana was not queen so how does that work?
In Diana's case, although she has never been queen, she's still a princess at the time of her death despite being divorced with now King Charles. So the BBC honoured her with this with high reverence just as how they did it to every major British royal after her.
@@paolocabling what about Philip he was not king was he?
No, he wasn't a King. He's the consort (husband) of the heir to the throne who was the now late Elizabeth II. He cannot be an heir to the throne since he's not the son of Elizabeth's father King George VI.
@@paolocabling He was a descendant of Queen Victoria, so technically, he could be a heir to the throne.
As a Brit who lives in the us, when I heard Queen Elizabeth’s death, I was shocked indeed. She’s been part of my whole life. To see her Gone now is unreal. RIP to her HM, Princess Diana, Prince Philip, and The Queen Mother 🇬🇧💙 And God Save The King
And me
And Princess Margaret too (but she wasn’t included in this video bc the uploader couldn’t find a version of the death announcement with GSTQ)
REAL leaders are chosen by the people in democracy. Not forced upon us by an outdated hereditary system that discriminates against every person that does not directly descend as an offspring from a monarch.
Real leaders are born with an innate passion to lead others and will be able to naturally grow into their role passionately and lead through parliament.
They are not born and then groomed throughout their full lives into a leadership role, which is forced upon the rest of the population to accept.
Interesting note: the union jack is shown during Diana's announcement, while the royal standard was shown during the queen mother's
Something that wasn't done for the Queen and Prince Philip.
Well the queen mother was a QUEEN. Whereas princess Diana was not.
@@dansmodacct Was the queen mother actually a queen? She used to be a queen consort while her husband's reign, and after his death Elizabeth II became a queen. Isn't it so?
Thats the Queen Mothers standard flying, not monarchs/royal standard. Diana didnt have a standard - she was the ex-wide of the heir to the throne by that point. The Duke also had his own standard but not shown on this announcement. The royal standard shouldnt ever flay at half mast - as soon as one monarhc dies it becomes the standard for the next monarch.
To answer your question, Mr. Maxim, the late Queen Mother was obviously a queen, a queen consort to be specific, for being married to a King and have retained her title even after being widowed but have become a "queen mother" to be distinguished from her firstborn daughter who became just simply as "The Queen" until last week.
I'm an American in my 50s. However,
I've been a British Royal watcher since my teens. So I remember all 4 deaths. Diana's was hard as my mother died 8 months before; I immediately thought of William and Harry. The Queen Mother was like losing my Grandma. And Prince Philip was like losing an Uncle. Her Majesty's death....I just can't put into words how I feel. She was such an icon! May they all rest in peace.
I commiserate with your loss especially when you lost your mom before Diana died. May she rest in peace too and rise in glory. Eternal memory.
@Paolo Cabling Thank you so much. I had thought that I was so young losing my Mom at 30 and then William and Harry were half my age or younger.
Also, my Father died from Covid in October 2020 at age 83. He was the baby of 5. His older sister was born in 1923 between Prince Philip and Her Majesty. Like Her Majesty, my aunt married a Navy man who served in WW2
I'm very sorry. That was very devastating epsecially the COVID part. And a salute to your aunt's Navy man veteran.
@@laurarobbins3947 Man that must have been hard. R.I.P to all of them. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I’ll never forget the death of Prince Phillip’s death, I was on the walk to school in the dreary April fog. I was feeling rather upbeat because it was my birthday and I was going to see my friends, family, and my girlfriend later after school. I was on my phone about to play some music when the news popped up on my Lock Screen announcing that Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh has passed away at 99. What a way to turn 17 I suppose.
@@Unknown-wb4ex Oh yeah, there’s no denying that people were waiting for the news it’s just when it actually happens that’s when you realise how unprepared you were.
The quite same story with me! September 8th ago I went to sleep with the news that the Queen’s health is declining. Because of the time difference, I only got the notification from my phone that the Queen died next morning when I wake up, on my birthday.
So yeah, what a way to turn 22.
@@muftiharits
I knew it would happen
Lol what a world apart! I'm 29 and his death came to me when I was 28. Bizarre to understand folks of your age look on it as a formative event! I don't mean that as an insult, I just find it bemusing. Hope your exams go well and soon. Cheers!
@@accountnamewithheld It only happened last year, you make it sound like it happened 40 years ago! XD
I'm English but my whole life up until the Queen's death, I never really cared about the Royal Family. None of my family were royalists so I just wasn't brought up fascinated by them (though I was never against them either, just had no feeling towards them either way). So even when Philip died last year, I didn't have any emotion about it. However, somehow after the Queen's death, I have suddenly become more interested in the Royal family and have been learning more about them as well as watching footage of the past funerals, weddings, etc.. Now seeing this video, surprisingly it was when Philip's picture was shown with the anthem that I started tearing up.
The Queen is with the rest of the deceased royal family now. The Queen Mother lived to be 101, and I thought Elizabeth II would live past 100. Nope. I’m not British, but it is hard dealing with the death of someone who meant a lot to us even if we’re not British.
The queen's father died relatively young, so I suppose when you even out his age when he died and the queen mother's age, 96 isn't bad going.
@@Marzi29 Her father died largely due to smoking
I remember seeing a study a few years ago that showed that if you're over 80 when your spouse dies, there's better than a 50% chance that you'll pass within the next 18 months. It's apparently much harder on the system if you're elderly.
I thought she’d live to 100 as well.
@@almostfm Well, I guess that study was true.
I was not alive for Diana’s death and I was too young to remember the Queen Mother’s. I remember almost fainting when I looked at my phone when it told me Prince Philip had died and I almost cried in the middle of class when my Dad texted me the dreadful news of the Queen’s death.
I found out about the Queen’s death through one of my classmates in Science class
@@zacharykim4875 But wasn’t it announced later in the afternoon, after school was over?
@@ceruleancraftshop for the the uk standpoint yes it was announced around half six in the evening but maybe it was afternoon for some people morning for some people the into account timezones
on the day the Queen died , i was in math class . and my friend told me the death of the Queen and showed me proof . i nearly cried as well :(
I was not here for princess diana or the queen mother and i did not really know about king philip death Even though i was here And the queen death hit hard
I still remember the day Princess Diana died, i was in the Caribbean spending the summer holidays with my grandparents, my GrandPa turned on the radio around 5am and the sad news where coming, we felt devastated and sad for her passing. She was a remarkable human being with ups and downs like everyone else. May she RIP the one and only Queen of Hearts, Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales. 🙏🏻 #ThePeoplesPrincess #TheQueenOfHearts #LadyDi
Huw Edwards definitely handled it the best despite being the one who had to announce the worst
or second worse to Diana I suppose.
He already practised it for so long since it is part of BBC's routine. It has been told by a video about "Operation London Bridge".
@@paolocabling true, but it's still easy to get nervous in the moment knowing millions on all BBC channels will suddenly be watching. but he also had been on air for a bit at that point which was surely to his advantage.
I think Richard Dimbleby too is their Walter Cronkite. Then 'twas passed to David.
Huw Edwards got to practice. The announcement had been coming for a few hours when he had to make it.
Martyn Lewis (for Diana) and Martine Croxall (for Philip) were truly live.
Martine was quite literally reading the news and they had to play the anthem first in order to remove her jewellery and get her to change to black.
Losing the Queen in her platinum jubilee year after the wonderful celebrations made her death so much sadder. And there was a feeling with her like she would always be here.
You should look up on TH-cam the BBC radio announcement of the death of King George VI in 1952.
I was almost 11 and was at home. My father was at work and my mother had the radio on. The normal programmes were suddenly interrupted by John Snagge, a veteran broadcaster with a deep, sonorant voice ideally suited for the occasion.
"This is London." Then a pause.
My mother sat down with a pale face and said "It's another war."
John Snagge then went on to announce that the King had died.
I think she was almost relieved. Having not so long ago experienced the deprivations and suffering of a World War (which my father fortunately survived) it's not really surprising. She didn't cry. She was too emotionally strong I think.
I didn't really react at all as far as I recall.
PS. I commented about this recently on another channel when I said that the announcer was Alvar Liddel. I was wrong.
I tried to find those of George VI but none of the announcements on TH-cam have a rendition of God Save the Queen. If there is, I'll be glad to include it including Princess Margaret's which is being demanded by many who do not read my pinned comment above.
Nice story. by the way!
So you’re 81 now?
It’s still so hard to believe as weird to think the queen is no longer with us. Even though I’m American, when the news broke I was so sad
I'm also american, yet it felt so unreal hearing the news break of the Queen's death, especially after watching those memes on the Queen laughing in space as the world blows up \_(ッ)_/
@@Elfilinfan2004 haha yeah, I was also one of the people who constantly joked about the queen being immortal
@@beachboysswiftie I'm from Canada and it's sorta hard to see the queen on our change/$20 bill and not realize she is no longer alive. I'm not a huge royal fan but she was alive as long as Betty White that there were memes about them being immortal going around for years that's it's hard to think that they are no longer here.
You always thought she;d live forever...it'll take a long while to get used to hearing King Charles.
@@samsignorelli Now I understand why they people of Britain said just after her death it felt like they lost a family member cause it does.
4 moments in history.. U
I'm not British but the anthem sounds so nice and solemn..
Ikr it give me chills
Yes, slow that I almost cried.
I was performing at a gig when the news of Philip’s death broke. Came up on my iPad on BBC News and I just stopped mid song to go and listen to the World Service.
When HM died, I was staying at a recording studio when the news came through on my phone that she was unwell but ‘comfortable’ and I thought Well shes gone I think. I fell asleep. Woke up to the end of an era and then the uncertainty that had been kept at bay my whole life just sank in. We’re fucked now.
God Save The King. He needs it more than anyone.
I’m sad that queen Elizabeth herself died exactly 20 years after her mother and sister Margaret and 70 years after her father
We had arrived in England the day before for my sister-in-law’s wedding on August 30th. I was checking the Telex for baseball scores and the HR race (McGwire, Sosa) the next morning when I saw the news about Diana. All were shocked.
I still get goosebumps every time i see the announcement of the queens death. After all this time I still can’t believe it.
I still remember when Diana died. My family just came back from back to school shopping from K-mart (live in Canada so didnt start school till September) so it was a shock to my mom she liked Diana. The BBC Anchor got in trouble for not wearing a black tie when he was reporting about the queen mother's death. They all have black ties/black clothes in the studio but he forgot to change it before he went 'On air'
Oh yes, September 8th. I was in the car with my sister and dad late in the morning when the radio said that Queen wasn't feeling well and she was being taken to Balmoral. We didn't really think much of it since I believe it was last year (???) when it was announced that the Queen had covid, but then she was fine. We was on a 5hr hour car journey to stay at a shit hotel because we was visiting some restaurant that was only open for two days, A " Unofficial Simpsons pop-up". A few hours later we went to the restaurant (bit of a waste of time lol) then arrived back at the shit hotel. Went into our room, Got unpacked at bit then turned on the TV and started to browse through the channels. I can't really remember all of the small details but I think it was about 5-half 5 when we decided to put on the BBC after remembering the news earlier about her being unwell. The exact moment we put BBC on her death was announced. We all just stopped what we were doing and just stood there stunned (we used to always joke about her being immortal) My dad put his hands over his face in disbelief and my sister started to cry. (My dad loved the Queen. He met her once/reviced a letter from her since he was a police officer at the time, many years ago.) I know this is long but it was such a shock especially if your British. For a few days it just didn't feel that she was gone. Suppose Charles will be fine, right?
Your dad was so lucky to have met Her late Majesty. Nice story!
RIP Diana Francess Spencer, Princess of Wales

Who cried at the death of Queen Elizabeth? Raise your hand!
Me!
My heart was filled with sadness that day, and so it makes me more inclined to do her son justice by saying, from the bottom of my American heart
God Save the King!
I’m still crying. Not that this counts (unfortunately because she was of distant Davidic ancestry and considered gentile by that point), but if she were allowed to take a Hebrew name because of her love for the Jewish people (including the Messiah, Yeshua), she could take
אלישבע
בת
גרשון
(Blessedly, her mother was possibly a Jewish Lyon. If “Lyon” was Jewish in her case, Queen Elizabeth could rightly hold
אלישבע בת גרשון ואלישבע).
אלישבע בת גרשון ומרים, ז״ל.

Weeping and mourning
I don't think anyone will ever forget where they were when they heard about the Queen's death. I reckon in about 5-10 years there will be people asking 'where were you when you heard that the queen died'.
I was crying when HM Queen Elizabeth II died at school on my break RIP QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1926-2022 #GodSaveTheQueen
Definitely had a moment when the Queen passed away, she'd been part of our lives for as long as most of us can remember. I only saw her once, very briefly, but it's a memory I treasure.
saw her in 1963..l was 10
i never saw her😭 😭 😭
I was near Downing St on the day the Queen Mother’s coffin was taken to Westminster Hall. I saw the Queen and Prince Philip that day as they drove back to Buckingham Palace.
@@garrywood5345 So you're 69 now sir?
We're still missing our late Majesty. It's been really tough even after we knew she was 96. RIP 💜
You could tell they put in extra energy for God Save the Queen with Queen Elizabeth's announcement.
Well, the recording and rendition itself is as the same as that used for the Queen Mother and Prince Philip. Only Diana's was different.
Rest in peace to all of them ❤️❤️
Rest in peace to all of them ❤️ ❤️
😢
I never seen Queen Mother or Diana since I wasn’t alive when they happened but I did hear about the death of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip!
How old are you right now, by the way?
All my favourite royals gone
I’ll leave this here for anyone who wants to chime in with the retort; “what has the Queen done for you? Was she ever there for you when you suffered?”
Sod off. I lost my grandmother and great grandmother in 2013 and 2004, respectively. I watched my family grieve, along with myself. Imagine going through this and having the entire world watching, judging you, your loved ones and the person you love that has died. You can’t. It’s inconceivable. That’s what I’m grieving for. And I’m getting sick of people chastising me for it. You didn’t like her, great. I don’t care. And neither do countless others who are also grieving. So let them have their moments, let them wish the Queen a peaceful passage into her next life, with her husband, mother, father and sister.
EXACTLY! Yes, she had her bad and controversial moments. Grieving over her does not mean that they don’t care about them, and even if they don’t, it still does not allow you to curse people out or be rude at people who are grieving over her or otherwise cared for the queen. They have their opinions, don’t attack them over them.
I stg, social media was a minefield that day. One of the only times I had to log off because of all the sheer negativity and flame wars…
@@abbycollins it was honestly the worst thing I've ever seen. The most vile and disgusting moment that shouldn't ever happen. Rip queen :(
REAL leaders are chosen by the people in democracy. Not forced upon us by an outdated hereditary system that discriminates against every person that does not directly descend as an offspring from a monarch.
Real leaders are born with an innate passion to lead others and will be able to naturally grow into their role passionately and lead through parliament.
They are not born and then groomed throughout their full lives into a leadership role, which is forced upon the rest of the population to accept.
I think some of the family as people are personally nice, for the me the queen being one of them, and I respect them and their words and actions. Upon the queen’s passing I was actually quite sad and perhaps in a bit of mourning as I did like her just as a human being and her, like everyone else, unique personhood that connected her to everyone. - but I can separate that love for them personally from the hate for the system they are forced and groomed into for their full lives. Seeing those nice people in all that luxury they are born into and attire they often wear is just… uncanny to me and it I cannot help but feel this abhorrent emotion from it as it segregates them as an elite other from everyone in society trying to get on with our lives.
The idea of a birth right to rule from a God that doesn’t exist negatively affects the general population and the wellbeing of the monarchs who feel pressured into the roles.
@@theeperson3764 be that as it may, she was, as Miranda Bailey once said about a cadaver, “somebody’s Somebody.” Great Grandmother, grandmother, mother, and mentor. Right now, I’m grieving the loss that, to you may not be significant because we aren’t related, but I’m sure you would still have some sympathy toward me, even just a tiny bit, because I lost someone I care about.
Before her death, most people alive didn't remember a time the Queen wasn't there. It still seems so surreal.
I was watching the news since morning that day I couldn't stop my tears when the message about HM passing came out.
I think I just returned from giving my dog her morning walk when I learned that the Queen was "under medical supervision". My mom and I both agreed she was dying. That afternoon, I was playing wow and one of the guildes (a Scot guy) announce that the Queen just died. Some minutes later, my mother gave me the news, and I answered "yes, one of the guys at Discord told all the guild some minutes ago". I went to watch the news on TV with her. (Spain)
The news reporter for the Queens death looked so sad , you could see his sadness in his eyes
I will never forget the death of the Queen😭. I had closed from school...was in a taxi going home and they announced that the Queen of England was dead and I burst into tears 💔. That was the first time I cried when I heard that somebody is dead😭💔
4:34 This was the first time God Save the King was played in 70 years
Thank you for making this
My pleasure!

It is so surreal to be living in a world without Her Majesty.
You're right
It's so tough seeing all of these amazing Royal Family members' death messages, especially with the most recent being Queen Elizabeth II. I was 1 year old when The Queen Mother passed away, 20 when Prince Philip passed away, and 21 when Queen Elizabeth II passed away. I'm 22 now, so I'm quite nervous, but also confident, in how the reign of King Charles III will go. May Diana, Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Philip, and Elizabeth II all rest in peace, and every Royal Family member from the past as well.
I can’t believe the queen is actually dead it’s so sad
Thank you for this historical Video!
My pleasure!
I was bawling out tears when I saw that Queen Elizabeth II death pop up on BBC One. I came home to the news of her getting ill. While my head was in denial, my heart knew it was over.
R.I.P Lilibet 😢
Royal family admirer here in the US. I remember where i was when news broke of Queen Elizabeth II's death. Was driving around enjoying the weather when news broke that afternoon. So sad.
Back then after school i turned on the tv to watch a movie, while i was scrolling thru the channels i accidentally came upon the bbc channel playing the anthem, there i knew about prince Philip's death 😢
Peter Sissons on how not to announce the death of the Queen Mother.
The controversial red tie announcement.

I was looking for this lol.
"In a statement, Buckingham Palace said the Queen Mother has DIED "
@@paolocabling From what I've heard, he couldn't find his black one, so he went with the darkest tie he had handy. Which does make me wonder why the BBC can't splash out to have a black tie in studio just in case.
For Prince Phillip, I remember his death so vividly. I had been awake at least one hour my mother turned on Escape to the country on All 4 and then after that ended they said
We now Interupt normal programming to make an announcement
Then I knew. My family didn't automatically grab what they were on about and were like omg what has happened. Then I said
Its obvious Philip is dead
And then they made an announcement
The queens death I was just checking whether she had died on TH-cam and then the first one which said HM The Queen has died by sky and I was like
OMG THE QUEEN IS DEAD
To my mother and I called my sister down so we could pay respects.
I never have experienced a death like that. The announcement was so sudden and I knew that she was going to die at 4 when I came in from school, I was oblivious to the fact she was ill all day and I got on my dad went
Hey look and put on BBC one.
I watched it until I got bored and just went onto TH-cam. I went to school the next day after crying my eyes the night before.
Sorry for the long read.
@@itookmyhandle Yet a memory that long last.
That's OK. Thank you for sharing your story!
@@bluebvur91 I know. One i recount every sad day
I was watching "Good Morning America" when Prince Philip died. They cut to the "ABC News Special Report" screen, and I thought to myself in that split second, "Who died?" In that split second when they announced that the message was from Buckingham Palace, my heart dropped, as I thought it was the Queen. Then they announced that it was the Duke of Edinburgh, which was just as sad.
For the Queen's death, I was going about my day as normal, albeit rather concerned for Her Majesty, given the earlier message, and then one of my friends announced to our texting group that HM The Queen had died. I then frantically looked at BBC and other reputable British sources to find out whether that was correct or not. When I found out that it unfortunately was true, I immediately changed to black and took down my flag. I've been rather emotional the last 12 days.
Part of me wishes that I could've gone to London or Edinburgh for the events there.
It's one of those weird moments.. you will forever remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when the news broke about the queen
I was looking for a video like this, thank you
No problem! And thank you too!
Diana died at 36.
Queen mother died at 101.
Prince Philip died at 99.
Queen Elizabeth the 2nd of England died at 96.
It's such a pity that Prince Philip didn't reached 100 when he died. His body had given up earlier.
@@paolocabling Yeah, it's such sad, he was 2 months from reaching 100 years old.

I miss Queen Elizabeth II so much she was the best queen
I like how he puts Queen/King
Yep!
I was painting rocks with my sister and grandma (as well as some of her friends) when my boyfriend texted me the link to the BBC tweet that Her Majesty had passed. My stomach dropped, even though I’d seen that she was under medical supervision when I got up that morning.
I was on the schoolbus going home when I heard about queen Elizabeth's death on th news widget of my. Phone my heart sank. I shed a couple of tears walking up the hill home happiness for Britain from us 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

I was on a bus on the way to work when I turned on my phone. I was shocked. I looked around to share this with someone, but everyone looked like they cared less if I had told them.
I remember the Death of Prince Philip. Like with the Queen it was kinda expected but I was shocked. And sad.
At last, the Queen is reunited with her love.
I’ll never forget my 22nd birthday, nearly midnight as I walked out from the theatre, the weather was surprisingly cool in the early September, especially in the northeastern Asia. As I grabbed the bike, put on my headphones, bbc news popped in. and it was the death announcement of the Queen. I remember clearly the feeling in that moment. It was kind of surreal, but not sad really. I went sitting on some stone chair on the road, just sit there for a long long time.
I broke into tears when Queen Elizabeth II died.

The Way The Played The Anthem Makes Me Wanna Cry
I was at the dentist, it was 11 AM (Argentina), I turned on my cell phone, opened TikTok and a video of the Queen with the anthem appeared. I thought it was a normal video, but another one appeared saying that the queen passed away. I could not believe it
Thanks for this!
My pleasure!
God save the Queen, now and 4 ever. Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth II.
God bless them all. Her majesty queen elizabeth touched me the most. She has been around my whole life. Thank you your majesty!
Wasn't there for Diana's or The Queen's Mother's death, But I remember in 2021 I was looking on my phone and I saw the news, on the news tab that Prince Philip Died. Then 2022, the other week, I was on the bus and I decided to check my phone, my friend texted me that she passed. The amount of shock though.
Surprised to hear such formal announcement that the queen’s unwell but not that surprised that she passed away because knowing her family rushing to see her and BBC had the full coverage of it. It felt like she must be dying and it would definitely happen
This is Truly Sad: Long Live Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022 God Save the King
I remember Philips death so vividly
I had woken up and headed downstairs and yawned you know the usual switched on my TV watched escape to the country and it ended, then they said
We interrupt normal programming to bring you this announcement.
My family sat clueless while I sat there knowing deep down what happened it had been on the news
He's dead.
And before the summer of 22 I was oblivious to the royals and knew the normal ones.
But the Queens hot differently
I wanted to say, 'I'm sorry for all the UK losses of the British monarchs that have reigned for many years'.
"In a statement, the palace said The Queen Mother has died."
Cheers Geoff
I was on my way to work and listening to a live ITV stream on my Twitter app. There were some commentators talking about the Queen, and when they were done it cut back to the lady announcer. I could tell by the look on her face and the tone of her voice that she didn't have good news. She said the Queen had died. I was in shock.

Gone but never forgotten GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
All others died from old age but Diana's death had to be the biggest shock for most. She was so young and the internet/social media was not a big thing back then. Most would have heard the news from tv or the papers
I felt like crying at the announcement of the death of his royal highness prince philip duke of Edinburgh (KC)
I’m a American-Mexican but they showed the death of the queen on my moms news channel called “Telemundo “ It’s so sad to see the queen pass away… Like to support the queen!

¡Bueno!
on Sep 8th (aka the day when Queen Elizabeth died), me and my friend were in math class and were helping each other with our maths, and after we were done, she told me the death of the Queen and showed me proof. I nearly cried when she showed me.
I know it’s been a month but I still miss her so much. May they all rest in peace..
I was eating my dinner and then I heard my dad crying and I looked at the tv and turns out that Queen died! I do miss her because I have only known her for 13 years!
i was in a car to pick up my sister after school, and the first thing my dad told me was “the queen passed away” and i actually couldn’t believe it. she did so many great things (and many bad things) but even though i’m not British, that death still hurt.
I was watching a twitch stream and getting ready for my own stream when I found out the queen died. My Twitter feed hadn’t updated, so I was confused, thinking people were pulling my leg. Then I went on multiple news sites and it hit. The chat was going nuts, and the stream ended shortly after the news dropped. I didn’t stream that night out of respect.
Edited for misspellings
I was with my mother and my sister having lunch when suddenly in the News popped up an article about Queen Elizabeth's really poor health condition. Suddenly my sister commented that the Queen was dead, that she saw on TikTok that te British Royalty was following the protocole for when Elizabeth dies. Several minutes later the death was announced officialy
I salute all ho served my country and the world
Rip Elizabeth II thank you for your service ❤
BBC looked so different back then honestly I prefer the old version
We're more used with the one today that's why we like the older one.
I was walking home from work on the day of the Queen's death and there was this sudden powerful rainstorm that came out of nowhere. I recalled the concerns for the Queen's health throughout the day and wondered if the rain was a grim portent. Then I got home and heard the news.
Was tuning in to my CNN 5 things podcast during dinner, an ad at the beginning played, then the reporter said “A lot can change in 70 years…” and later on said “On September 8 2022 Buckingham Palace announced the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II”.
My friend’s birthday is forever tarnished by the death of Elizabeth II.
I'm still in shock about the Queen's death.
me too
I was in my last class of the day at school and I pulled out my phone to use as a calculator. I had a text from my mom that said the Queen had died. I broke the news to my teacher (who used to live in London when she was in college) and she stopped the class and turned on the news and we watched it for the last few minutes of class.
When the queen died I had just gotten home from work (I'm American) and I had researched months before what will happen when said event happens. I get home from work and see the news on my phone and I ran inside and turned on the TV. Never turned on the TV so fast in my life. It was weird for me to see the events as actually playing out.
Yeah prince Philip was 2 months shy of reaching his centenary age of 100 years and I can’t believe that prince Philip died two months before his birthday
I was playing the piano when I heard the news switched to the announcement. I was playing miami 2017 (I’ve seen the lights go out on Broadway)
I still remember hearing God Save the Queen when Diana died in the early morning hours. It totally gutted me, as if I hadn’t been totally gutted me when it was made official.
I met Diana, Princess Of Wales 🏴 before she died...I was walking late at night time back from work...walking past a park in Central London...I saw this asian/Pakistan older person and looked a little closer and it was Princess Diana I couldn't believe it...I didn't go near her as there was 2 body guards walking around but she looked at me...I can always remember that
so you didnt meet her you just saw her
I don't think I saw the entire queens death announcement live I just walked in on the anthem bit or at least the end of the speaking.
Princess Diana death came to make like a shock long before social media was around but the news moved like wildfire
Ideally, better if they shown instead the flag in half staff. Maybe for the reasons of formality and regality.
