Queen Elizabeth II has died
It&#x27;s weird, I&#x27;ve never considered myself a &quot;royalist&quot; but this news has affected me quite strongly. I just burst into tears unexpectedly on hearing this news and I don&#x27;t quite understand why I feel so very sad. I guess I have grown up and lived my whole life (as a Brit) seeing and hearing the Queen, singing &quot;God save the Queen&quot; etc, and this news made me suddenly feel very old, very nostalgic, with the sense that all things pass in time, which makes my heart ache deeply.
