HRH Queenie

[Robbo]

I'm no royalist but do feel some affection for her, she has been a constant symbol of stability in an ever changing world and probably her coronation was one of the most memorable things in my childhood.

The life she's lead and the changes she's experienced is extraordinary. Probably the main reason why I enjoy watching The Crown, is that historical perspective - seeing what the queen has lived through, and how the world, her country and her family has changed over the decades.

Got a stag do next week abroad, better still be going ahead.

Eh? Is the Queen the hen?

I work with autistic people. One of them is a huuuuuuge fan of the queen. She's literally his hero. Whenever we talk about her, and says Charles will take over as king one day, he gets angry and in some sort of denial. Yesterday he went to London for the first time in his life to see Buckingham Palace and all the royal stuff, and today this. What timing. Maybe to be there for the public grief will help him process her death.

A BBC journalist tweeted that she was dead, but deleted it - so she's definitely gone. Charles as king, eh? How's that gonna go down with the public?

A BBC journalist tweeted that she was dead, but it was deleted for them. They are now getting a guided tour of the Tower of London. - so she's definitely gone.

FTFY

This country is falling on its arse.

RIP Queenie.

RIP. She did a magnificent job. A true public servant. Shame to lose a unifying presence like her in these times.

The perfect Queen. Not everyone is cut out for the role. She was.

Charles and Truss, on top of Brexit, Britain is in mourning for better times.

96 year old lady dies - sad. Wishes to her family.

The perfect Queen. Not everyone is cut out for the role. She was.

Charles and Truss, ontop of Brexit, Britain is suffering!

She waited until Bojo left - top trolling

Weird thing to be born in line to the throne. She wasn't first in line was she? But she was a natural. Whether a monarchist or not, have to respect her diligent tenure. Always with a cheeky smile on her face.

Do we get new money now? Don't want Charles' mug on my £20 note.

Sad. Always seemed like a decent woman. The institution divides opinion over here but most people saw her as a good woman I think.

Liz Truss speaking now. Christ, she's an abysmal speaker.

Do we get a day off?

It'll give them an excuse to print some more.

Think the funeral will fall on Sat or Sun...so no

 

[Grays_1890]

Charles has to step aside surely? I'm ok with him, think he is a decent enough fella, but the age thing and marrying ya long term bit of Thursday night skirt isn't great, William has the near perfect profile

Thought it was confirmed we would get two days off or maybe I'm mixing that up with her celebrations
