Has the Queen died?

[danny la rouge]

I heard they'll do a mini trooping the colour in her rooms in Windsor Castle.

I heard they’ll be calling it the trooping of the a bit pale and peaky.

This is all a bit North Korea. What is wrong with a mobility scooter?

The Queen shouldn't be scared of being seen in a wheelchair

Imagine being the head of state in 15 countries but being unable to admit you need help to move.

The Republicans in Jamaica are still expecting victory in their anti-monarch agenda despite the Queen sending a thin white woman in pretty colourful dresses. She is a living argument for monarchy. All the Queens children are Angels from heaven.

She should have one done up like the coronation carriage.

 

[Ax^]

surely they have enough money to fit her out with a power exoskeleton

if she want to turn up to her husband memorial as a master chief who's going to spot her

I reckon Charlie ordered those flags. It must be hard knowing that your mum’s sole remaining career goal is to outlive you.

The Jamaicans know that the Queen loves her dancehall riddims.

She’s not dead. She just can’t move

She rose to the throne when King Tubby died in 1989.

Like king huon out of the Michael Moorcock books

Jamaica 's PM waiting for William and Kate to walk into his office before saying (essentially) "Thanks for coming, but it's not changed a thing, we're leaving" was quite the move.

He should have had them and their entourage carry him round, we might reconsider leaving if you carry every Jamaican on a palanquin or whatnot and so on

Jamaica’s PM tells Kate and William his country is ‘moving on’

Royal couple’s visit met with growing republican sentiment and pressure for reparations over slavery

That picture really doesn't work if you're going with the common touch theme

BBC spin on the latest stuff said there.

"Sorrow" is not "sorry". Some will be disappointed about that. But "sorry" would have been a different order of magnitude, carrying with it acceptance of responsibility and opening up the question of financial compensation.

Hardly surprising then that Prince William didn't go that far. That would be a job for government, not royalty.

The Duke of Cambridge condemns the slave trade, saying it "forever stains" the UK's history.

It’s all a bit “I’m sorrow you feel that way” isn’t it?

Literally everything they do is in her name.

More nauseating platitudes yesterday, as the press scrambled to break the stunning news that woman was a bit miffed that her husband was still dead.

Still, at least she had the emotional support of her family.

 

[Ax^]

odd the press has been commenting on Andrew being there and Harry not being

whilst partygate Boris was also stinking up the place

 

[brogdale]

Any recipe suggestions?

 

[Artaxerxes]

Might book a trip to France tbh.

Any recipe suggestions?

Will be in Inverness for the entire weekend, so hoping Scotland will ignore the whole thing.

This thread is a torment. Every time it gets bumped...

Please hang on until at least 3 May, because we've got some serious snooker to watch before then, which we don't want disrupting.
