With the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the world has lost a great monarch who over the past seven decades placed duty and public interest before herself.
The media in the UK and around the world noted that her passing on Sept 8 has brought unity to the country. People from several generations lined up on the street to pay respects to their beloved queen as her coffin was taken from Balmoral castle, to Holyrood in Edinburgh, London's Buckingham Palace, Westminster Hall and then the Queen's Windsor Castle home, where she will be interred alongside Prince Philip. The state funeral is today (Bangkok time).
