The Living Force
While looking for a photo that I thought was the Queen's visit to Edmonton (which turned out to be Charles and Diana's visit at the World University Games in 1983), I found the right photo from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1978. I was 4 at the time and didn't understand what all the hubbub was about, but I remember people lining the streets on both sides and a very festive atmosphere like those found at a parade, only in this case a parade that was 10 seconds long. My mom took the photo, and because they were moving fairly quickly, she only had time for one shot.
All those people smiling, waving and clapping. I vaguely remember cheers and whistles as they drove by. The atmosphere speaks for itself and her presence generated it.
Also, from the Kremlin addressed to King Charles III:

The message reads, in part:
“Her Majesty's name is inextricably linked with key events in the contemporary history of the United Kingdom. For many decades, Elizabeth II rightfully enjoyed the love and respect of her subjects, as well as high regard on the world stage.
I wish you courage and fortitude in the face of this difficult, irreparable loss. Please convey my sincere sympathy and support to the members of the royal family and all the people of the United Kingdom.”
