The world lost British royalty Thursday. Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning British monarch, having served for 70 years, passed away at the age of 96.
New York Jets chairman Woody Johnson had the honor and privilege to meet Her Majesty back in 2019 during the 75th anniversary of D-Day while he was a United States ambassador to the United Kingdom. He shared a tribute on Twitter to the late Queen.
“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was the embodiment of dignity and grace, serving longer than any monarch in British history,” Johnson tweeted. “I had the honor and privilege to meet and spend time with her which I will treasure forever. My condolences to The Royal Family during this sad time.”
