Sir Elton John has recalled the “joyous and humbling experiences” of meeting the Queen, as he joined fellow celebrities and other public figures in bidding farewell to her. The musical megastar said he would fondly remember moments “out of the public eye” and praised the Queen for serving with “grace and dedication”.
Famous British faces posted on social media from around the world, after following the Queen’s state funeral on Monday. Sir Elton shared a black and white photograph of him together with the monarch and wrote: “Today I’ll be joining the rest of the world in remembering Her Majesty The Queen.”
“My own memories of her are filled with joy and admiration. The Queen honoured me with a CBE, a knighthood and the Companion of Honour. I was lucky enough to perform at three of her Jubilees. They were always joyous and humbling experiences.
