King Charles heads from Scotland to Northern Ireland tomorrow, his first official visit there as King.
There's a complicated history, as unionists fought nationalists in the three-decades-long Troubles.
But on Shankill Road in the heart of a Protestant community, people are coming together to farewell their Queen and welcome a new King.
On a quiet corner of Belfast's Shankill Road lies an ever-growing tribute to a Queen the locals will tell you they loved dearly.
"I think she meant something to everybody, in Great Britain, Northern Ireland especially," said one local.
"They've been playing slow music and everyone we've been talking to says that music's making you feel even more sad!"
"Obviously she passed away, and we just come here as a team to lay down flowers," said another.
A centre of loyalist activity during The Troubles, it remains a Protestant stronghold and was covered in Union Jack flags today.
"This area in particular of Northern Ireland, the Shankill Road, bore the brunt of The Troubles, you know, there was many bombs and shootings here and the message the Queen brought was of peace and continuity and harmony," said community activist Gary Lenaghan.
But the street wasn't quiet for long, Newshub stumbled upon a spontaneous performance in Queen Elizabeth's honour.
Community activist Deano Jones told Newshub that security in Northern Ireland is a "big issue still".
"We can't unlike all the other reps in the UK go out and openly recruit and say 'are you a veteran? Are you ex-forces? Do you ride a motorcycle? Come and join us'."
On a Belfast visit, Queen Elizabeth once said both sides need to be able to bow to the past but not be bound by it, a message Shankill locals hope King Charles will carry too.
"Well... I dunno, men can they do the job right?" said one local.
"It'll be for King and country now. We'll be loyal to him don't worry, we'll be loyal through and through."
As they await his first visit as their new King.
