Posted this on my main social media yesterday so a little delayed! 
Wanted to be a good angelic girl and show respect for the late Queen. 
No matter whether you're a monarchist or not, Elizabeth II was an admirable lady that most, including myself have huge respect for and the world has forever changed since her death πŸ’œ

Here's a little something I found online which blew my mind and had to share...

'Elizabeth II was born less than 23 years after the Wright brothers carried out the first ever powered flight. 

She lived for more than a third of the entire age of the United States (1776) - a nation which is only 246 years old. And well over half the age of Canada (1867), and all but 25 years of the nation of Australia (1901). 

She became Queen at the age of just 25, when Stalin and Truman were also in post, 7 years after the end of WWII. 

Her first Prime Minister was born in 1874. Yes, the 1800s! Her last PM was born only two years before her Silver Jubilee in 1975 - so her first and last PMs were born over 100 years apart. 

Ruling in her own right (with no regent, like Louis XIV had for 13 years), she was the longest reigning monarch in World history. Regencies don't really count as "doing the job" - you don't 'rule' when you're only 4 years old, like he was! 

She lived through three kings herself before she even took the throne - George V, Edward VIII and her father George VI 

She saw the jet age arrive, the birth of electronic computing, and the space age - all before she was 35 years old. 

She worked hard for 70 years at the age of 96, more than 35 years after the age at which most people retire. 

Her reign is over 7% of the entire history of Britain since William the Conqueror took the crown - 956 years ago - we've had 41 monarchs in that time. So, on a pro-rata basis, each reign would only be 23 years. So, she's done the equivalent of over three tours of duty. 

She certainly *was* Great Britain & everything that we've seen and grown up with. She was with us through everything we've ever known in living memory. 

Her selfless service to this country was simply astonishing, when she could have 'retired' from the job decades ago and enjoyed some well-deserved rest. 

She is now a huge part of British history. She is & will remain an integral component of this country, having overseen an amazing Elizabethan Age. 

I am glad to have lived in her reign & to have witnessed it
As she said herself "Grief is the price we pay for love".

Rest in Peace Ma'am.
Your duty has been done...multiple times over πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ πŸ’™πŸ™'
