I can't think of much else that has been the case as long as Queen Elizabeth II being the monarch. There are more than a few pensioners out there who weren't even born when she ascended the throne; I daresay that very few people under 75 years of age remember a time when she wasn't queen before today.

As a Canadian, the idea that she's gone is... strange? Every single time I've ever held a coin (in Canada), she's been on it. Every dime, every cent, every ten dollar bill. I have a difficult time with visual memory, but I know what those images look like because I've seen them a hundred thousand times.

Now it's going to be someone else? It makes sense, but it doesn't feel right.
