Dedicated to the memory of Queen Elizabeth II
(“Nimrod” by Sir Edward Elgar)

[@rebeccachristopherwalsh9888]

The resolute selflessness, the walking epitome of duty, the stoic and unwavering dedication to the people, the allegiance to a purpose of uniting a nation rather than dividing it, the backbone of our country, the unrelenting bravery in the face of adversity after adversity. You were the revered sovereign, woman and icon. May you truly rest in peace, your Majesty, the impact of your reign will endure for eternity.

[@thomasholliday3334]

That is such a moving tribute. So so beautifully put together and summed up

[@emmapicara9527]

Beautifully said, thank you.

[@Londonfogey]

...and today, the new King is being proclaimed all over the world, from small islands to large nations such as Australia and Canada. I have just watched the Canadian ceremony, in English and French, with gun salutes pounding in the background. In every parish church in England there are tributes: candles burning and muffled peals rung on the bells. The Roman Catholic churches too are saying Mass tomorrow for the Queen. No Empire in history, surely, ever had such a legacy. God save our sovereign Lord, King and Governor.

There could be no finer piece of music to offer, to remember Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II Rest in well-deserved peace. From a loyal Canadian.

[@desallen2174]

A quite beautiful tribute to a wonderful lady. I think she would be the first to thank your gallant nation for your contribution to two world wars. I will never forget Canada's sacrifice.

We have had many fine monarchs in our long and storied history, very few have been truly great, other than Alfred, Athelstan, and Elizabeth I and now we can add Elizabeth II to that rather exclusive club; she was the epitome of service, restraint, wisdom and grace, and in her passing we can see how small and venal the politicians we have truly are.

[@chrisaskin6144]

During our history of a thousand years and more, we have had a predominance of Kings but only a comparative handful of Queens Regnant. We Britons have been fortunate in our history to have had some notable Queens, Queen Elizabeth l was a great Queen for this country when viewed within the context of life in the 16th century, Queen Victoria also reigned for a long time and saw this nation forge a lead to become the greatest nation on Earth - she too was a great Queen. We in 21st century Britain are lucky to be blessed with the hindsight to look back across the centuries, and can say without argument that Queen Elizabeth ll has been the greatest Queen of all. Indeed, she is probably THE greatest British monarch of them all. It remains to be seen whether she will ever have an equal.

[@hengistbury]

I doubt there will ever be an equal. A magnificent queen, the like of which we will never see again. The future heirs will be males, so we will not see another queen for a very long time. HM Queen Elizabeth II kept her promise to the end, and never faltered in her 75 years on the throne.

[@davidboult4143]

In the last 200 years we have had a Queen regnant for 150 years.

[@kcyt6476]

This is the piece that I will always remember her majesty by. Thank you.

[@ananonymoususer4698]

this was the first song radio 2 played after she died. followed by 2 more classical compositions and resumed music with words with "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele (also the last song Heart and Virgin Radio played before she died). the days following, the station was more focused on mellow selections until they slowly resumed regular programming the day after her funeral.

[@markhartshorn3476]

She served with loyalty dedication and a selflessness she was the backbone of this nation and she regined for 70 years. Now she begins her final journey rest in peace your royal highness.

[@이정환-x7p]

20th century is finally over. RIP Queen Elizabeth 2.

[@captainhindsight8779]

When queen Victoria died, her grandchildren quarrelled and we ended up entering into some of the most brutal wars the earth has ever seen. Now HM QEll has passed on, her grandchildren quarrel, we face global unrest and we are arguably on the brink of WW3. I miss the Elizabethan age so much already.

[@damnedseagull6194]

RIP my Queen . Thanks for this beautiful tribute to Her Majesty.

[@cdean2950]

I am compelled to make another comment. First, this music, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful pieces written. Secondly, the comment made by Rebecca and Christopher is absolutely the most esquisite comment I have read since the death of Her Majesty. It addresses all aspects of her reign and her person in the most magnificent way. I felt that comment speaking to my heart and soul. RIP Your ROYAL HIGHNESS, YOUR MAJESTY. I have not doubt the response she got was WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.

[@paulkirkland3263]

There are good performances of 'Nimrod' ... and not -so -good. This one is absolutely perfect. Well done, ESO - Her Majesty would be well pleased.

A truly remarkable woman with the responsibilities of being a Queen. I will always admire, respect and thank her for being such a wonderful role model. I wish I'd recognize this before she left us. But, I believe with her guidance of being a world leader, King Charles will be the excellent monarch he is meant to be. It is my hope that, with his demonstrated capabilities of transition, he will present ideas that are new and thoughtful. Because of the Queen Consort's support for him, I can see why Queen Elizabeth named her. Perhaps King Charles can lead their country into a new era? To me, he can be, and I truly believe will be. RIP Elizabeth for your duty, and let the world believe there are still great love stones.

[@fieldshuntcontactor8163]

She was my Queen, she was and is all I had ever known, and now she is gone. And now we enter an age where 3 Kings are guaranteed, Charles 3, William 5th, George 7th. I suppose the proudest moment for me was when King Charles the 3rd and Queen consort Camilla stepped from their car after the Queens was deceased and went to greet the assembled crowd outside Buckingham Palace, and shared their grief and emotions and congratulations on Charles becoming King, a step which no royal before them had ever taken, such a gigantic step forward for the monarchy and one which I wonder if we'll ever see again. The King has come of age and I hope he can lead us well. Long live the King.

I truly fear for the future of our monarchy now that wonderful lady has sadly departed. Not a foot wrong in 70 years of duty to all of us and the nation. OK, Phillip made the odd gaffe. Look at what we now have. A king who meddles in politics with a dodgy history. A Prince of Wales who panders to popular culture. If only Princess Anne had been born first we would be in safer hands.
