A sad day and a moment of history for this country.

It's definitely strange times ahead that's for certain.

[Mystic Mock]

Obviously Football nor any of the other entertainment shouldn't be being pulled, that's just common sense.

People need escapism, not just stuck on one news story, no matter how big that news story is.

We're not meant to be China, so we shouldn't act like China.

I know I'm being blunt about it, but to me the country shouldn't come to a complete stand still when someone dies, we didn't have this for example when Margaret Thatcher died.

And just to clarify, it is sad what's happened to the Queen, and I do feel sorry for her family, I wouldn't be on this thread otherwise.

[Vanessa]

That's why I'm watching classic EastEnders.

Finally some common sense in 2022.

Basically if you wanna watch Masked Dancer then great, if you want to watch the coverage about the Queen's death then also great.

People should always and I mean always have alternative options to the current news.

I watched a you tube video of someone who said that too....came from a member of staff apparently. I think she had passed when they made the initial announcement this morning. We won't ever know though and I think thats right, she and the family, need to be able to have some privacy in these times

i don't think so, they expanded and said she was comfortable and they wouldn't say that if she had already passed, because in these times, that would get out.

When a ruling monarch dies the protocol is to allow the inner family circle time to grieve before informing the public.

You’re far-from the only one. Queen-Elizabeth II, Nelson Mandela and Mother-Theresa (for all the later controversy) were one-in-a-billion world-figures. The B.B.C. can take as-much time as they want to showcase the best of her life.

People should not be kicking-off just-because football/their favourite shows aren’t going to be airing in live-time over the next 2 or 3 days. How many times in your lifetime is a monarch of 70+ years going to pass-away?

[joeysteele]

Denver, His Majesty King Charles 111, IS the full heir to the throne.
He is the eldest child of The Queen born in 1948.
Anne was born 1950.

[Denver]

Denver, His Majesty King Charles 111, IS the full heir to the throne.

Im sorry but I only respect 2 of her children, the one who is just as strong as her mother and the other who has gone about his royal life quietly

Yeah Charles is the eldest , but we can still imagine Anne as Queen :bigsmile: .

Yeah nobody will be able to replace her, she's left a huge legacy . Such a full life ,adored & respected by so many people around the world. And Charles will never have anywhere near the same popularity, and the warmth that The Queen received.

But they'll never abolish the monarchy.

Great post
There will never be another one like her in our life time.

[MTVN]

I never noticed the blackness of her hand meeting Truss until Annie mentioned it on here today. I'd thought she'd looked quite well but reflecting now its incredible that she received Truss at all 2 days before her death with everything that came with it. There must have been so much fuss around the choreography, her dress, her appearance etc. It must have been a massive imposition when she was so frail but she still went through with it so professionally

I get that there are many different, and equally valid viewpoints on her passing. Some are in bits, others, like me, not so much. I don't think forcing folks to mourn her is in anyway what she would have wanted, and the length of her "rule" shouldn't be the spectacle. I was hoping that whenever she passed, a sensible dialogue could be had on the worth of such an outdated concept, but that obviously isn't going to happen.

Mother T was an arse that purposefully kept the poor in poverty, as she rode private jets and had billions in her personal accounts, but that's for a different thread, on a different day.

[bots]

i think she did that meeting with Truss through sheer force of will. I'm not a monarchist and the queen wasn't perfect, but her sense of duty and love of her country could only be admired

I personally am with the many people that would rather a tribute paid to the Queen rather than dictating to people what they can and can't watch, that is just common sense imo.

Imo the Queen should be being celebrated in a more healthy manner, not by forcing her on people whether they like it or not.

Nope, get rid of the lot of them and make them get proper jobs, the Queen was the last figurehead of respect for the royal family

Well he will get his chance, but he'll never be treated with the same respect.

Also on another note , just seen Google is Grey - in mourning for The Queen . Never seen Google do that.

[Oliver_W]

What makes the concept of a Royal Family outdated? If we heard someone saying "it's 1649!! --" (random example) it would be comical, so using "it's 2022!!" as an excuse to make sweeping changes doesn't really fly.

[MTVN]

Yeah I agree. I don't think we'll get someone like her again who valued this notion of duty so highly

Being the monarch is such a strange thing, there's only a few roles like it left in the world now where the job carries on till the day you die. And we'll never know what she really thought about all the things that happened in her reign - about Suez, the Falklands, Iraq, Brexit, all the different PMs she met. Its not like being a PM where you get to release a tell all memoire, she had one of the most front row seats and the only silent one

The main issue I'm having with certain people on this topic is they're okay with the decision because they either.

1. Liked Queen Elizabeth II
2. Don't like Football
3. Don't like Politics

None of those three reasons justify shutting the TV scheduling down on a lot of the Channels.

Personally I wouldn't say that I'm not bothered about her passing (as she was still a Human Being at the end of the day) but the mourning of her death should've been done with segments on TV Shows/Sport celebrating her achievements over the years, not a you've got two choices people that still watch TV, it's either the Queen's death or The Masked Dancer? I mean that's just crazy imo.

I do understand what you’re saying, Mock, but at the end of the day this isn’t-exactly an everyday occurrence and it’s only 2/3 days of official national mourning. It’s not going to kill.

Liz Truss was informed of the Queen's death at 16:30, the prime minister's official spokesman has said.

The prime minister was told the news by Cabinet Secretary Simon Case.

Following her statement in Downing Street, Truss spoke to King Charles and she is also expected to chair a meeting of ministers at 21:00.

I don’t do much of terrestrial-television anymore, anyway, to-be honest. Not with iPlayer, ITV-Player, YouTube and Netflix (etc.) literally at my fingertips.

I don't know if it is necessarily a good thing and that's what I was wondering when I posted it. I do think the Queen represented a connection from today's generation right back to the 1950s though. If there's a thread from that time way back then till today she is that thread.

People now who are over 60 years old have only ever known her as head of state and all the time she's been gracious, steadfast, dutiful, good humoured etc etc in her role. Compare that to our last few PMs who have all been forced to quit in disarray after only a few years. She's a million times more popular than any of our recent leaders so I'm not sorry that she was our head of state and not them.

[MTVN]

The depth of feeling can be hard to express but the Queen being the one constant over decades of problems meant something to a lot of people. The fact she didn't express political opinions only made her appeal wider

Just a random thought its kinda different how both Ireland reacted isn't it? I'm guessing you are from the Republic but one of my colleagues is Northern Irish and he is in bits as is the people he knew back home, he always told me that she meant so much to the Northern Irish I guess because she isn't your monarchy you don't really have a strong connection to her like the British/Commonwealth wouldn't have a strong connection to say the Danish Monarchy even though they are related

I think we saw how progressive she was by being a big part in ending a lot of the colonisation her ancestors did and was known to be a massive supporters of things like Black Rights, Female Rights and LGBT rights as well as trying to bring all nations together regardless of their race or religion.

The fact she spent her whole life visiting so many countries and meeting so many people and always had a smile on her face and happy to shake the hands of the normal common working class people says a lot really

Yeah I guess she deliberately sat outside of the big issues so that she would never invoke negative opinions. I'm sure she did have views on them and I expect it was often a big burden to her that she never could give her real opinion. She presumably thought preserving the monarchy was more important but I do think it would be fascinating to know what she really thought

It's not easy to do the role how she did it though, Charles has caused more controversy in his time already than she did in her lengthy reign

Just a random thought its kinda different how both Ireland reacted isn't it? I'm guessing you are from the Republic but one of my colleagues is Northern Irish and he is in bits as is the people he knew back home, he always told me that she meant so much to the Northern Irish I guess because she isn't your monarchy you don't really have a strong connection to her like the British/Commonwealth wouldn't have a strong connection to say the Danish Monarchy even though they are relatedYes I'm from the Republic of Ireland

I do understand what you’re saying, Mock, but at the end of the day this isn’t-exactly an everyday occurrence and it’s only 2/3 days of official national mourning. It’s not going to kill.

But that’s because that’s all we have ever known…that’s why it’s going to be a massive change.
Charles has massive boots to fill. He has Camilla as Queen Consort and many will find all this hard to accept knowing how much this country loved Diana.
Personally I have warmed to her and as for Charles he was destined to produce heirs and Camilla was never an option and she was always his one true love.
I think we need to give him a chance…because ultimately Prince William will one day be King and I think he has the ability to be a great one.
Service wise no one will match Elizabeth 11….but we have to move on.

[GoldHeart]

Trust for what? All her job was in that case was pretending to agree with whoever was in government at a particular time

Niamh she had to follow protocol with who ever was prime minister & the government, if she refused then it would have been straight to abdication.

I'll admit i was always curious what her GENUINE THOUGHTS were on alot of matters... and i did wonder what it would have been like if she turned around and plain refused , but we know that wouldn't have gone down well .

There's probably plenty of stuff she would have disagreed on . But we'll never know now :shrug: .

[bots]

Charles has to forge his own path, he could never compete with the queen. Thats a simple fact

[GoldHeart]

It's really going to take time for people to accept & move on from The Queen ... she was such a huge part in everyone's lives, she was always there & people have grown up not knowing anything else but The Queen - being Head of state.

It's the little things like you say ie the stamps , post boxes & the currency, and the Queen's speech will now be the kings speech , very strange and no it won't be the same when Charles does .

When all that changes ..i think i'll hold onto a pound note with her face on for keepsake . Still can't imagine Charles' mug being on money.

It's an end of a ERA , and a massive historical moment & milestone. The love & respect people had for The Queen reminds me of Princess Diana.

[Mystic Mock]

I don’t do much of terrestrial-television anymore, anyway, to-be honest. Not with iPlayer, ITV-Player, YouTube and Netflix (etc.) literally at my fingertips. I watch T.V. when I happen to be in the living-room but there are so-many viewing-options these days that I don’t think anyone’s going to feel stuck for what-to watch tomorrow/this weekend, unless they were absolutely-gagging for live-time footie.

Tbh I mainly watch on cable or streaming nowadays myself.

But I'm coming at it from the perspective of someone that might not be so lucky to have other outlets to go to when they want to take a break from mourning the Queen.

[Mystic Mock]

I don't know if it is necessarily a good thing and that's what I was wondering when I posted it. I do think the Queen represented a connection from today's generation right back to the 1950s though. If there's a thread from that time way back then till today she is that thread.

People now who are over 60 years old have only ever known her as head of state and all the time she's been gracious, steadfast, dutiful, good humoured etc etc in her role. Compare that to our last few PMs who have all been forced to quit in disarray after only a few years. She's a million times more popular than any of our recent leaders so I'm not sorry that she was our head of state and not them.

God could you imagine David Cameron as our Head Of State.:umm2:

[UserSince2005]

It should have been me not her :bawling:

The Queens gentle presence was always there, binding our nation together with her steadfast and dedicated service - 70 years of this:

What does the Queen do?
The Queen is a constitutional monarch - while she is the UK head of state, her powers are symbolic and ceremonial, and she remains politically neutral.
She receives daily dispatches from the government in a red leather box, such as briefings ahead of important meetings or documents that need her signature.
Liz Truss will be the 15th prime minister under her reign.
The prime minister usually meets the Queen on a Wednesday at Buckingham Palace to keep her informed on government matters.
These meetings are completely private and there is no official record of what is said.

The Queen has regular audiences with members of the Privy Council.
Hosts visiting heads of state.
Meets foreign ambassadors and high commissioners based in the UK.
She also normally leads the annual Remembrance event at the Cenotaph in London.

The Queen is Royal Patron or president of more than 600 charities, military associations, professional bodies and public service organisations.

The Queen also performs a number of Parliamentary functions:
Appointing a government - the leader of the party that wins a general election is usually called to Buckingham Palace, where they are formally invited to form a government. The Queen also formally dissolves a government before a general election.

State opening and the Queen's Speech - the Queen begins the Parliamentary year with the State Opening ceremony, during which she sets out the government's policy plans, in a speech delivered from the throne in the House of Lords. Prince Charles delivered the 2022 Queen's Speech on her behalf.
Royal Assent - when a piece of legislation is passed through Parliament, it must be formally approved by the Queen in order to become law. The last time Royal Assent was refused was in 1708

She is also the head of state for 14 other Commonwealth countries.

I did think the Queen would live to about 104 because a few years ago, she still looked very strong.

But that can happen to the human body. I remember Bruce Forsyth, always fit as a fiddle, even in his 80s, but then suddenly he was very old and he got a lot of serious medical conditions and went frail and bedbound and then died.

Your last paragraph is spot on once any infection, or stroke or other condition hits at old age, the risks of not being able to fight it are magnified greatly.

It is really sad.

As has been said yesterday, none of us know if Her Majesty had any other conditions other than only the mobility one which was revealed.

Really sad indeed is her loss, an incredibly long life and her devotion to her duties as Monarch and how she carried all of them out.

Good images Nicky.

Instantaneously, on the announcement of the Queen's passing, more than 2,400 people in the UK have seen their official titles change.

They are the country's top lawyers who carry the words "Queen's Counsel" after their names in recognition of their expertise - an honour created by the Queen's namesake, Elizabeth I.

As soon as the former Prince of Wales became King Charles III, all of them became "King's Counsel".

This is just one of the many symbolic changes to British public life and society that have now begun.

Mark Fenhalls KC, the chair of the Bar Council representing all barristers in England and Wales, said: “The officers, members and staff of the General Council of the Bar of England and Wales join with colleagues across the legal professions in mourning the loss of our country’s most devoted public servant.“

Throughout a long, loyal, and steadfast reign, Queen Elizabeth II embodied the symbolic role of the figure in whose name justice is carried out with great integrity.”

She's not the only one being disrespectful. A lot of Instagram comments have been calling her a lizard. A friend of Jimmy Saville. A racist. And supporter of Andrew

What is wrong with people?!?! Are they just trying to be edgy. And people that actually believe the lizard celebrity theory is correct surely have to be mental

She was wrong to post that on Facebook
the BBC can say so.

Why enable her by giving her the kind of attention she’s after in the first-place?

Sure.
But she could say Sorry

And do you think she’d be likely to publicly-apologise?

Are these serious posts or are you just taking the anti-monarchical piss?

Her funeral will be a week on Monday and considered a National Day of Mourning.
She will be laid to rest with her parents and Prince Philip's remains will be transferred to the Chapel to rest with her :sad:

Who's the one behind Liz looking down at her? Giving her a bit of a look.

[Gusto Brunt]

I've just been thinking about Charles. How many people start a new job at 73 years old and a job they could be doing for the next 20 years?

Despite what anyone says about the Royals, King Charles III is not hardly likely to be sitting on his **se all day. Unlike some politicians.

[bots]

:joker:

Significantly older than the queen, but younger than the queen mum, i can't honestly think who it could be

[GoldHeart]

I was just looking up how old the Queen Mother was when she died and she was almost 102.

I did think the Queen would live to about 104 because a few years ago, she still looked very strong.

But that can happen to the human body. I remember Bruce Forsyth, always fit as a fiddle, even in his 80s, but then suddenly he was very old and he got a lot of serious medical conditions and went frail and bedbound and then died.

Sad. :(

Yeah I was thinking about how The Queen mother got past 100 which is remarkable wow , whilst Prince Philip just missed out on his 100th birthday. I think most people expected Queen Liz to live a very long life ,which she still has . But we could see her health deteriorating unfortunately,you just never know.

The whole world will mourning The Queen for quite some time. People saw her as their nation's grandmother , always around . And now they have to somehow come to terms with Charles being The King.

Lovely tribute paid just now by Macron the French PM

[bots]

After 70 years on the throne, we have become accustomed to seeing the Queen's portrait, profile and coat of arms across everyday objects such as coins and cereal boxes.

All 29 billion coins in circulation in the UK have the Queen's head on them.

The Royal Mint won't say how or when it will start issuing coins with King Charles III's head on them, but it's likely that the Queen's coins will remain in circulation for many years, and that the process to replace them will be a gradual one.

Since 1967, all stamps issued by the Royal Mail have featured an embossed silhouette of the side profile of Queen Elizabeth II.

Royal Mail will now stop producing Queen Elizabeth II stamps and will begin the process to create new ones.

The Royal seal is a frequent sight on items such as tomato ketchup and perfume - and for the last century or so the monarch, their consort and heir have issued their own warrants.

When a grantor dies, any Royal Warrants they issued become void and the company has two years to stop using the Royal Arms.

Regarding passports, they will still be valid, but new ones will have wording updated to His Majesty.

I tuned into BBC1 last night - first time in a very long time, and I was impressed with Hugh Edwards and other guests presentation.

That cannot be said for Talk TV, which I briefly looked at. I thought I was watching a horror film. I THINK it was Sharon Osbourne being interviewed by Piers Morgan. But I think it was Sharon Osbourne. Her face looked awful. Too much plastic surgery made her look like she was melting.

I think it was her. The only clue: photo of Ozzy in her background.

Theresa May making a few choice quips

[Crimson Dynamo]

KEVIN Bridges has pressed ahead with a run of shows in Glasgow despite many
events being cancelled in the wake of the Queen's death, joking "she won't be
the only old woman who is going to die this winter".

The Clydebank comic made the comments at a performance hours after the 96-
year-old's death was announced yesterday, at a gig he described as "the only
****ing show in Britain going ahead this evening".

Bridges joked he was wearing his trademark black suit "in tribute" to the late
monarch, and said it was probably "the last show before we go back into
lockdown".

[Gusto Brunt]

I was a bit shocked the lottery draws weren't cancelled last night.

It seemed to me to be a bit inappropriate to have a spot of gambling after the Queen just died.

Formula 1 was today mourning the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, who has passed away at the age of 96.

Leading the sport’s tributes to Queen Elizabeth II was Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali, who said: “Formula 1 mourns the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

“For more than seven decades she dedicated her life to public service with dignity and devotion and inspired so many around the world. Formula 1 sends its deepest condolences to the Royal Family and to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.”

In a statement on Twitter, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem wrote: “On behalf of the @FIA community, I offer our sincere condolences to the Royal Family on the very sad news of the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. We pay tribute to her remarkable life of service. Our thoughts are with the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.”

British driver George Russell wrote on Twitter: “I’m so sad to hear about the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her devotion to our country and her gracious leadership were inspirational to so many generation of people in the UK and around the world.

“My family and I send our deepest condolences to The Royal Family and to all those who admired her service to our country for seven decades. Rest in Peace.”

British-born Williams driver Alex Albon wrote: “An amazing role model and total dedication to a lifetime of public service. Thank you and rest in peace, Her Majesty the Queen.”

Among statements from the Formula 1 teams, Williams Racing – whose founders Sir Frank Williams and Sir Patrick Head were knighted in 1999 and 2015 respectively – wrote on social media: “Williams Racing joins the world in mourning the death of Her Majesty The Queen. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, which HM Queen Elizabeth II was devoted to for more than seventy years of inspirational public service.”

Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff added: “We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We send our heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the UK and the Commonwealth.”

Aston Martin Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll wrote: “On behalf of the entire Aston Martin family, I wish to pay tribute to Her Majesty the Queen. We remember the light she shone across the world; the people she brought together; the many lives she touched.

“We remember, too, her sense of duty – an unfailing devotion both to the United Kingdom and to the Commonwealth. Hers was a life lived beyond self. United in grief, we remember her great life – long in years and huge in achievement. To the royal family, we offer our deepest condolences as we join the world in mourning.”

Queen Elizabeth II bestowed knighthoods on four Formula 1 drivers during her 70-year reign, with Sir Lewis Hamilton the most recent, joining Sir Stirling Moss, Sir Jack Brabham and Sir Jackie Stewart.

And writing of Queen Elizabeth’s passing on social media, Hamilton said: “How do you find the words to describe the loss of Her Majesty The Queen? She was truly an iconic leader, an inspiration and a reassuring presence for most, if not all, of our lives.

“Since the sad news yesterday, I’ve been reflecting on her incredible life. She was a symbol of hope for so many and she served her country with dignity, dedication and kindness. She was truly like no other and I’m grateful to have lived during her time. Her legacy will be long-lasting and her passing deeply felt.

“I had the incredible honour of being able to spend time with her. It is something I’ll never forget. We talked about our shared love of dogs and she was incredibly generous with her time. I know the whole nation and many others around the world will be mourning her loss and my thoughts and prayers are with her family and all those close to her, who have lost a loved one. Rest in Peace.”

When Sharon came on first thing i said was she looked like a Tussauds waxwork so i agree way too much plastic surgery. Sharon appears to be yet another adddict to the scalpel.
