Just three days before her passing the Queen was despite her age still carrying out her duties as Her Royal Highness, welcoming the UK's new Prime Minister Liz Truss and asking her to gather her government and start leading the country.
People have been arriving at Buckingham palace in profound grief, leaving messages, flowers, and letters. The atmosphere is quiet. People pay their personal tributes and private contemplation to this significant loss of the nation and world. All around the world, people are remembering the Queen. Besides being a monarch she was a significant and inspirational pop culture icon.
The parting of the Queen will bring along many changes in the country. The pound sterling will soon have the face of King Charles III on it. The portrait of the King will also replace the portrait of the Queen on postmarks. Anthem "God Save The Queen" will have the name changed to "God Save The King," including all the references to "her," and will be changed to "his."
At the British Foreign Office in Estonia, the flag of Great Britain is lowered to half-mast in mourning. People wishing to write their condolences and good wishes for the Queen and close ones are welcome to do so on Monday, as the embassy's doors are open from 10 until 16.
