At Stairway B on Deck 7 (if I recall correctly) I was told by a passenger that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II had died. This was confirmed by a message from Captain A A. Hashmi on board RMS Queen Mary 2 relayed throughout the ship, and in every passenger’s stateroom.
An era came to an end at around 18.30 hrs tonight. Just over an hour later, while I was making my way from the front part of Deck 7 to my stateroom, I learned from a passenger that H.M. Queen Elizabeth II had died. Captain Hashmi had already announced that her health had deteriorated, and I figured that perhaps “things had become serious.” In fact, the end was far closer than I was able to contemplate.
