Has the Queen died?

Time for a sweep stake?

Certain irony if she dies on remembrance day.

The Queen to miss Remembrance Sunday service​

Sprained her back??!?

The mind boggles...

She shouldn't have gone for that 73rd poppy. Too much weight.

Days not weeks

The Queen has sprained her back so will not attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph today.

Buckingham Palace released a last-minute statement cancelling the appearance an hour-and-a-half before the event started in central London.

The injury is understood to be a recent sprain that sparked concerns over the impact of a car journey and a period of standing.

It comes after the monarch stayed in hospital overnight for the first time in eight years in October.

Sprained her back my arse

She won at the bookies and spent her winnings on prosecco. She's hungover

Jade Goody died on Mothering Sunday which always struck me as being narratively convenient, so there's always a chance with Lizzy "going down with the setting of the sun"

The Duke of Edinburgh always looked forward to remembrance day

Social media is going be hell on earth. It was bad when Phillip died. Someone told me if I didn’t think every life was sacred then I didn’t deserve one. The be kind hashtaggers are not so kind, I didn’t even say I thought he was a cunt until like days after.

It's going to be the best thing ever. the levels of sycophancy will be without precedence. Literally everything will be in black for a while. Even the BBC news ticker will have a black background instead of red. Traffic lights will have the red light replaced by black. There will be no green. Where do you need to go anyway? Stay at home and cry.

Special packets of double chocolate muffins will be eaten in every home. Milk will not be put in tea or coffee. All football teams will have to play in black, and all games will have to end 0-0. There will be 90 minutes of silence not just before the game but during it. Substitutes will not be announced.

Guinness will be served without its trademark white head.

All records will be played at -8.

It has no place in tea and coffee anyway

In a move likely to cause uproar no birthday parties will be permitted during the mourning period and sales of puddings, with the natural exception of black pudding, will be halted unless the purchaser can demonstrate a medical need.

Christmas Day 100 per cent

 

[DotCommunist]

It'll be interesting to compare the spectacle to Diana funeral, as I recall it the palace hadn't gone into full 'royal death mode' straight away, didn't even half mast the flags. Then it all kicked in a bit later. Books of condolences everywhere, the motorcade.

Whereas this one will be at full spectrum mourning straight away, black armbands on all the beeb presenters.

I almost agree

Leaning towards Christmas eve myself. Ideally a late announcement so families can mourn laugh over Christmas Dinner.

The Times has eleven days of prepared coverage ready and that ITN and Sky News have long rehearsed her death, but substituting the name "Mrs Robinson"

Eleven fucking days worth, FFS.

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson...

The third of January. The third is a bank holiday and lots of people will expect to be back at work on the fourth. But the death of the royal widow will throw all into confusion

Charles was welling up when laying his wreath earlier. Not sure if that's because of the occasion or something else.

A 'sprained back' is fucking hilarious btw. Reminds me of when I called in to work sick from Glasto on the Monday morning with 'lockjaw'. I'm gonna use sprained back at some point.
