Gordon Ramsay Pays A Tearjerking Tribute To The Queen
Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8 at the age of 96, after holding the seat for 70 years (per CNN). News that she was under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle was announced the same morning, though her condition apparently continued to decline. Following the queen's death, her son Charles, King Charles III, took to Twitter to share his thoughts. "We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherish Sovereign and much-loved mother," he wrote. "During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the queen was so widely held."
Chef Gordon Ramsay, who is from Johnstone, Scotland, in the United Kingdom, was among the grievers after the news spread. He and the queen have some shared history, too. In 2006, the chef was knighted as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in honor of his contributions to the hospitality industry (per Magazine.com). On Twitter, he posted a heartfelt tribute that made fans emotional.
