Has the Queen died?

[DaveCinzano]

Wilf, seen a minute ago...

Ladies and gentlemen, please be upstanding for the Royal Seal of Approval

Thought and prayers etc

When I saw what Starmer tweeted it brought it home how inadequate it is to replace 'praying' with 'hoping' in the standard wording:

Along with the rest of the country, I am deeply worried by the news from Buckingham Palace this afternoon. My thoughts are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time, and I join everyone across the United Kingdom in hoping for her recovery.

 

[LDC]

Her recovery? FFS she's 96 or something. People die.

Next Eurovision entry?

Next Eurovision entry?

The Dubliners' version is better, I have to say:

Witchell sounded close to tears on 6 news just now. It's happening isn't it.

 

[Glitter]

Do sporting events get cancelled if a monarch dies?

Like say….The Great North Run?

She must be holding on the see her favourite before she goes. Charles and Ann are already there so it’s not them. Edward and Andrew on the way…

As a Liverpool fan, I do hope the Premier League void the entire season, out of respect,like.

As a Leicester fan I can do nothing but concur.

Oh great that’s going to help weeks of performative patriotic grieving and queen stuff with sad music on it 24hrs a day on the telly, just what the nation needs now.

I bet Elton John's got his pen out already....

My money's on a cover of Sacrifice

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

what is everyone's favorite queen moment? mine is the annus horribilus speech in 1992

Another One Bites The Dust

 

[Yossarian]

Witchell's tie is not black! It's blue with red spots! What on earth can it mean? Fuck you, Charles?

Clearly trying to send the message that this isn't a natural death and the queen was killed with poison from a Central American tree frog.

They'd better not cancel game of thrones

I heard about phil the greek popping his clogs from a bbc news app alert. Pretty sure that will be how i hear about the queens death when it finally happens. Unless i happen to be watching tv at the time. I will be amazed if its from this thread.

It might be for me. I've lately stopped reading the news from other sources. Everything is shite and depressing.

I'm not looking at anything else for the foreseeable! I want it to be 'you heard it here first '

It was the beeb app alerts that brought me here earlier but keep refreshing

 

[bimble]

Gonna cost the shitty newspapers loads in extra ink for the solid black front covers they’ll have to print , that’s something.

 

[spitfire]

Well, they were wrong. (just heard the 3 oclock news)

I don't see how they can keep a lid on it once it happens, now everyone has a mobile phone and there's fortunes to be made with early news.

And right on cue the sun starts shining
