Queen Elizabeth II has died

I love how she was lit, that it's a side portrait and the extreme blackness of the background.  Would love to know how she came up with that.  Wish that I could take better photos.

I have to say that I did smile when I read:

'Occupation: Her Majesty The Queen'.

She didn't. It's not a selfie.

The picture was made by a team of pros.

Herman,

I was referring to Dorothy Wilding and wishing that I could photograph like she did--not to the Queen!  lol

Reminds of me when Pedro II of Brazil checked in at the hotel in Bayreuth to attend the first festival in 1876, he filled the occupation field in the registration form with "Emperor ".

Well, that's what he was, ain't it?

Many people left Paddington Bears outside Buckingham Palace in tribute to HM. They are being given to the Children's charity Dr Barnado's. I rather liked this photo, in the newspaper, of Camilla, the Queen Consort with them:

I saw that photo and an article on the BBC's website yesterday.  Very sweet!  Apparently, they figured out a way to get all of the bears picked up (with the aid of many volunteers) and cleaned up.  Happy that they will be finding new homes.

Before this thread disappears, I thought that I'd post this, which I found quite endearing.
Here is the Royal Piper waking up King Charles (I wrote 'Prince' initially) for the first time at Clarence House. He is the same piper who played at the late Queen's funeral. Not sure if it will play outside the UK:

Thank you for sharing that Jeffrey.  It's on Twitter, so yes, I was able to watch it in the States.

Excellent PD. I thought that you'd be a 'safe bet' to respond and I'm glad that Karl was able to as well.

I saw an article the other day which I think you as an animal lover you would enjoy.
