Stars from all corners have gone online to say goodbye to the Queen, a celebrity of all celebrities. "For my whole life Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has always been there," Mick Jagger said, for example.

"Some may find the outpouring of British shock and grief at this moment quaint or odd, but millions felt affection and respect for the woman who uncomplainingly filled her constitutional role for seventy years. Most British people have never known another monarch, so she’s been a thread winding through all our lives. She did her duty by the country right up until her dying hours, and became an enduring, positive symbol of Britain all over the world. She’s earned her rest..." wonderfully written by a wonderful author.
