Her Masgesty Queen Elizabeth II will be missed even by me, an American that had the privilge of seeing her when I was a young boy on one of my several trips to London at Buckingham Palace. I was so enamered by the elegance of Her Magesty, and will never forget how thrilled and excited I was to have been lucky enough to waive at her and remember to this day her looking at me and smiling at me when I was about 8 years old. God bless her soul. So long Queen Elizabeth II
