Honor Queen Elizabeth II with these unique memorabilia pieces

Honoring a life of dignity and grace

When Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne, it was the nation’s first televised coronation. Her unwavering service lasted for seven remarkable decades. The queen’s exemplary life exuded a dignity and grace that was arguably unrivaled by any other monarch throughout history. Her passing has left a challenge for the world to carry on, following in her venerable footsteps.

The United Kingdom will honor the queen with a period of national mourning

From now until Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, the United Kingdom will mourn the loss with solemnity. During this period, the Union Jack will be flown at half-mast, government business will be suspended and King Charles will go on a tour across the United Kingdom to receive condolences. On the day of the funeral, public transport, television, businesses and more are expected to fall silent for a National Day of Mourning.

Other ways to honor the queen

You don’t have to be in the United Kingdom to honor Britain's longest-reigning monarch. No matter where you live, you can honor the queen’s life in your own way. 

  • Support a cause: Whatever the queen meant to you, find a cause that expresses that and give of your time.
  • Make a donation to a nonprofit: Queen Elizabeth II was a patron of over 600 charities throughout her life. You might not have the means to be so generous, but you can start with just one.
  • Do something good: The queen believed the impact of small acts of goodness could be bigger than we imagine.
  • Create an event: If you’re part of an organization, you can create a memorial event that honors the queen year after year.
  • Make it personal: Purchasing an item that reminds you of the queen, her work or England can be your own personal way to remember and honor Her Majesty.
