Has the Queen died?

i see prince charles is now the duke of edinburgh, which - by the arcane rules of the royal family - means he is now his mother's husband
Percy Bysshe Shelley who nobody read in his short lifetime - just like nobody reads me - once wrote a poem about a brother and sister having sex as liberation which even I think is maybe pushing it a bit. That's sad news though - I just tweeted Queenie to ask her for a date. I want to get Justin Welby to marry us in Wesminster Abbey so I can take over the country and kill Thomas More.

thomas more is already dead, you've missed that particular boat
 
You'll know when the queen has really snuffed it (assumming you are in the uk) as it'll be all over the media in miniutes. I learned about phil's death from a bbc news app alert. They will likely interupt tv progs as well. So unless you spend every min on here i doubt urban is where you find out when she finally dies.

I learnt about Phil the Greek when Vanessa Feltz's show was abruptly taken off R2 in the middle of Laura Brannigan's "We Are Young," a song I much enjoy. I imagine for Brenda, they'll see fit to ruin the News Quiz, and as that's currently of the air, she's gonna have to hang on in there. Probably till the episode with Mark Steel :mad:
 
Mildly disappointed that Sturgeon didn't go for a showdown and railroad it through anyway
 
I see the makers of family guy have made a new hbo cartoon taking the piss out of the royal family. It'll probably be shit but it's got the royalists frothing with rage on the mail comments! :thumbs:
Are they going for all of them? Whilst The Windsors on C4 was not bad, I thought it lacked the balls to only make occasional reference to the then alive Phil, and never went after the sainted Brenda.
 
The state funeral will be held 10 days after her death and heralded as a “day of national mourning”, but it will not be an official bank holiday. If it falls on a weekday it will be left to the discretion of employers to give their staff the day off, and there will be no substitute day off if it falls on a weekend.

The plans ... contain granular detail such as the potential for public anger if Downing Street cannot lower its flags to half-mast within 10 minutes of the announcement since there is no “flag officer”.


I don't think they have a good understanding of what the public is likely to be angered by.

The public will be angered by whatever the Mail tells them to be angered by.
