Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Liam Gallagher Remember Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II, the world’s longest reigning Monarch has died at the age of 96. Her unmistakable example of female power lives on. A power conceived during a time of gender bias. Her reign survived multiple wars, personal tragedies, and provided guidance in shaping not only Canada, but democracies around the world.

For my whole life Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has always been there. In my childhood I can recall watching her wedding highlights on TV. I remember her as a beautiful young lady, to the much beloved grandmother of the nation. My deepest sympathies are with the Royal family. pic.twitter.com/3JLILZDKwK

"Dignity. If there’s ever one word to describe this wonderful lady & monarch it’s dignity. We will never see the likes of this again."
