In India, once a British colony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described her as “the champion of our time.” “You have personified dignity and decency in public life,” Modi wrote on Twitter. In Washington, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has ordered flags to be lowered to half of the staff at the Capitol, according to her office. Caribbean leaders from Bermuda to Dominica and beyond mourned the queen’s death. “Her death ends a 70-year reign and is a huge loss for the Commonwealth of Nations and the world,” Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said on Twitter. Minutes later, Bermuda Prime Minister David Burt issued a statement noting that her reign had “spanned decades of such tremendous change for the UK and the world”. Elizabeth died at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle, her summer residence in Scotland, as members of the royal family rushed after her health deteriorated. insult Source link Related READ MORE Egypt parts company with Queiroz after World Cup failure
