Capiraso told MailOnline, “It was so surreal, while flying to the UK to take our daughter to the University of Edinburgh, to hear the news from the pilot of the Queen’s passing, and to experience the emotions of the flight crew and the passengers. I will always remember that moment.”
“Elizabeth, the Queen, passed away earlier today with her family by her side,” the announcement told passengers. “I thought I should at least tell you that before you arrive at the terminal as I know many of you will be very very sad about this.”
Queen Elizabeth II passed away at her Balmoral Castle in Scotland on Thursday (September 8). Her son, Charles, immediately became the King.
