The news cycle focused on her life and her family, and waited for an update. When it came, it was the sad news most had feared.
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

Both the news of her fragile state and her subsequent death led people to share their stories about Her Majesty, and this one – posted by Rachel Clarke – beautifully illustrated the Queen’s sensitivity and her love of dogs.

In case that was difficult to read, here’s a larger version.
People found the story of her empathy and sensitive way of helping Professor Nott very moving.

The most WONDERFUL story about #QueenElizabeth’s quiet humanity and emotional intelligence https://t.co/UL9lERBhK0

This is one of my most favourite anecdotes about the Queen. David Nott had been invited to a private lunch at BP;the mother of the nation comforted his distress by encouraging him to feed & stroke the corgis. It’s not just the public role,but also the private role will so missed. https://t.co/bbbBK1QqjZ

I do like this story. Was lucky enough to hear Nott recount it at a book festival a few years ago and it remains incredibly touching. https://t.co/EawMU5PGw2

This comment summed up the story – and two crucial aspects of the Queen’s life.
This is beautiful. Dogs and quiet companionship.
