I have been a great admirer of Queen Elizabeth II since the first time I saw her in person, in 1968, when she came to Brazil to witness our love for football and experienced the magic of a packed Maracanã.
Her deeds have marked generations. This legacy will last forever. pic.twitter.com/13xyilesGT

“Thank you for your grace and years of service. May you rest in peace with Phillip and prayers to your extended family.”
“My deepest condolences to the Royal Family. This is heartbreaking news and a loss difficult to put in words! What an impressive human being she was. Rest In Peace”
“Thank you for your service. You have always been loved and admired. You will never be forgotten”
“Sad news. May the departed souls rest in peace. She will always be remembered.”
“I knew it was only a matter of time, but it still sent me reeling. Sleep well, your Majesty. You have more than earned your rest.”
“She still found it in herself to personally meet her last Prime Minister. Amazing women.”
“May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace”
“For my whole life there’s been one woman in the world who couldn’t be bossed around by men. Losing her hurts”
“Even as an American, I am deeply saddened by her passing. She loved her family and her country. My best wishes to the new King.”
“My sincere condolences to the United Kingdom and her peoples.”
Such a sad, sad day for the people of the United Kingdom as they deal with the aftermath of this sad event.
We send our love and condolences to the monarch’s family, friends, and loved ones.
