London| The loss of Queen Elizabeth II was felt across the entertainment industry as well, with Sir Elton John, Sir Michael ‘Mick’ Jagger and Sir Paul McCartney leading the celebrities who mourned the loss.
Sir Elton John, who has been very close to the British royal family, and was close associate of Princess Diana, articulated the sentiments of many when he wrote on Instagram: “She was an inspiring presence to be around and led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace, decency and a genuine caring warmth.”
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger tweeted: “For my whole life Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has always been there. In my childhood I can recall watching her wedding highlights on TV. I remember her as a beautiful young lady, to the much beloved grandmother of the nation. My deepest sympathies are with the Royal family.”
Harry Potter’s creator J.K. Rowling put the outpouring of grief in her country in perspective, when she tweeted: “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. 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.”
