Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

[LeytonCatLady]

They're not burying him tomorrow though. He has to lie in the vault until the Queen dies, and then they get buried together.

He'll probably only want to go on top as usual...

When Liz goes, what we've been through for the last week will be nothing in comparison. There will be the funeral and Charles' succession, and everything from her age, her reign, her marriage, her (recent) bereavement, and &c, will be added to his succession, his chosen regnal name, the coronation, her funeral, the lot. Today really was something of a first rehearsal.

and it was over a year from QE II's succession to the coronation...

Andrew was def sweating when doing the walk

Yep. It's going to be a long period of "coverage" if not necessarily news.

Did anyone else see in an earlier program the quote apparently from an American "why would anyone build a castle so near an airport?"

 

[hitmouse]

Looks like we haven't had these yet (cba going through the whole bandwidth thread to check there as well):

 

[philosophical]

Will they broadcast the reading of the will?

Oh yeah, I was also quite amused by this:

 

[Dystopiary]

Apparently Prince Edward will get that title, once The Queen dies.

They don't think these things through do they? "Eddie Edinburgh" - yeah, then he'll be taken seriously at last.

Last person I knew with sausage fingers was an alcoholic with cirrhosis of the liver. He died within a year

Yes, as long as you watch sky arts, eurosports, film four or some of the shopping channels. Otherwise you're gambling with your sight

To be honest the only programme i'm likely to watch today is Line of Duty.

Film four are doing a countdown of his best films from mid-day I think.

They've edited in a prince philip reference at the insistence of jed mercurio and adrian dunbar

Fucking hell I forgot about that channel.

What movies do they broadcast?

 

[Shechemite]

From Facebook, this seems like the right place to share it

 

[BristolEcho]

That's beautiful.

 

[Sue]

What movies do they broadcast?

Gangs of New Yorkie, Escape from New Yorkie, Synecdoche, New Yorkie... kind of thing.

There is no right place to share something like that

It's what happens when lizards start to outgrow their suits

There are some strange and horrific medical conditions offspring may have to endure when cousins marry.

Gangs of New Yorkie, Escape from New Yorkie, Synecdoche, New Yorkie... kind of thing.

So nothing worth watching
