Love for the Queen extends well beyond the Commonwealth.
In the United States her death is being mourned by many, and Newshub was at a special service in her honour at Saint Thomas Church in New York City.
A procession of officials led the way into the church, followed by a bishop cloaked in royal purple. Inside, the benches were filled with those eager to pay their respects.
"We love the Queen and we miss her a lot," one elderly couple told Newshub. "We've met other members of the Royal Family and they are wonderful."
Another said the Queen means a lot to all Americans.
"She represents strength and leadership, regardless what you think of the monarchy."
Americans and expats sat side by side.
"She touched the world over," said British expat Tom.
The number of people inside the church was a testament to that. While several avenues away - and worlds apart - New York's oldest gay bar is also mourning her loss.
Julius' manager Gerald Gonzalez adores the Queen, and said his patrons are devastated.
"Everybody coming in here is saddened by it, we thought she'd live to 100."
And they're reminiscing about her sense of humour.
"She said, 'can one of you young queens bring old queen a gin and tonic?' How could you not love her!"
A love felt throughout the city.
"It's a very sad moment not just for the UK, but also the US because of our connection together, we're strong allies. The UK's queen is our queen," said Antony.
The royals may be tied to the US through marriage but it's about more than that.
"She was a very real woman," a New Yorker told Newshub.
"The queen has done a lot of positive things," said another.
Even after her death, her smile lit up the US Open and the most American of sports - her photo was displayed on screens at the Yankee Stadium.
Meanwhile the Empire State Building shone brightly in purple and silver and Times Squares flags were lowered to half-mast when the Queen died, where they'll stay until after her funeral.
"She was a pillar of democracy so we're going to miss her very much," said Antony.
A Queen who touched every corner of the globe, well beyond her sovereignty.
