Imagine if that was the last published photo of the queen.

Why's that then?

 

[Seagull27]

FFS!!

I've been told by someone who used to work for the BBC that the funeral can't be on a weekend so no need to worry.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The whole family is heading for Balmoral now

 

[Guinness Boy]

Whole family gathering together. Doesn't sound great at all.

 

[The Wizard]

People are genuinely hoping she dies a day that suits them, utterly bizarre.

I think I could absolute hate the monarchy (as it is I’m meh on the whole subject) and I’d still have enough empathy to think that this woman has given her life of service to this country and has tens of family members who will be probably be going through hell right now.

 

[el punal]

Need her to hang on until Saturday. National day of mourning and funeral is 9 days after her passing. If she goes today or tomorrow that'll be a weekend and we won't get a day off (return on investment as such)

Think you might have scored an own goal with that one.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

All her children are hot footing it to Balmoral, won't be long now.

 

[The Clamp]

Why's that then?

Not the thread for your antics. This is very likely to be the end of her life.


On topic, not looking good. Lady on news thinks it could be hours.

Sorry mate, just asking you to clarify.

No big deal.

Hushed, reverential voices on BBC breaking news report. Urgghh, this is going to go on for days. And days, and days. Apologies to Queen fans, no disrespec' intended.

****

 

[FatSuperman]

Wife just text me to say she has died

Not on the news and not sure how my wife knows! (She’s in the NHS but in East Sussex)

What a crap week

 

[Swansman]

This day that looks, smells and tastes like a completely dead dull Thursday somehow has too much drama in it for me to get anything done.

Never been the same since Freddie passed.
Oh.

What a crap week

Possible but no announcement until all the family are there

Just to be clear … my FFS comment was aimed at the pathetic comment by Soton Seagull!!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

BBC being incredibly dignified in breaking the news gently

 

[Eeyore]

BBC in very sombre mood, and all the family heading north.

They don't normally issue statements on her health, so I'm guessing this is grave.

I'll be gutted if it is her time. I'm not a monarchist, but I have nothing but admiration for her.

It's not a gig that I'd want.

Going to be a very different country, not at all sure I want King Charles III...

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Wife just text me to say she has died

What a crap week

My inside sauces (no, really!) also saying the same.
