It's suffocating.

 

Went in 3 different shops over the course of the morning and Richard Marx - 'Right Here Waiting' was playing in each. Is that on the official list of mourning songs?

 

It's what she would have wanted.

Requested by Phil, formerly of SW1 ?

I saw a couple of people that had put up Union Jacks this morning but it didn't strike me as odd at all. Purely just their way of showing respect after the Queen has died no?

It’s nice to see. I’ve seen a couple of flags flying at half mast. There is someone who lives near me flaying the flag at half mast, they have flags for all kinds of occasions, Leicester flags, one for the euros/world cups, olympics, plus many more, I like walking past and seeing them.

You can still play sports?! OK one thing has been taken away - if that's the only thing going for anyone then maybe they should look at themselves and try and find some other joys in life

https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/non-league/2022/09/09/non-league-and-all-grassroots-football-postponed/ - all grassroots games cancelled on Saturday and Sunday. My mates team's first game of the season no less. Loads has been taken away

Shes done an awful lot for us bless her. Like that time she used 12 mil of tax payers money to keep her pedo son out of prison. I though it was really cool that she married her cousin.

They were actually third cousins.

I know someone who has taken a union jack flag and placed it in their front garden, that seems odd to me?  Surely people don't put out flags when a monarch dies...do they?...apart from the aforementioned of course.

Everybody shows their emotions in different ways. 
 

For example…

"Your Majesty, please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II," he began.

Putin continued: "The most important events in the recent history of the United Kingdom are inextricably linked with the name of Her Majesty.

"For many decades, Elizabeth II rightfully enjoyed the love and respect of her subjects, as well as authority on the world stage.

"I wish you courage and perseverance in the face of this heavy, irreparable loss. I ask you to convey the words of sincere sympathy and support to the members of the royal family and all the people of Great Britain."

Can't remember where I posted but this was bound to happen. 'I'm sorry, no offence'. A hollow apology. 

 

 

I don't agree with his POV but fair play to him for that, he still means what he said but admitted it really wasn't the time to say it.

He's not actually apologised for what he said. He apologised for causing offence. Feels like a very deliberate choice of words. 

 

It's like when my Mrs says "sorry you feel that way"...

Ill timed? When else was he going to make a tweet about not mourning the death of someone if it wasn't right after they died. It wasn't ill timed it was just stupid.

Thought Charles spoke well tbf. Tough boots to fill...

 

I know many people see the Monarchy as stuffy, old fashioned, aloof, unnecessary, irrelevant and a waste of money - but it's ours, it's unique, it's traditional, it's symbolic, it's part of our national fabric, and it's respected around the world.

 

God save the King.

Not a fan of old Jug Ears (the king one, not our big eared ex player) but he did well.

 

Time will tell.


I guess talk of a republic is off the cards for a bit longer…..

Whatever opinion on the Royal family people might have, we have lost probably the most experienced statesperson in the world at a time we get an inexperienced prime minister and a potential 3rd world war.

 

I am not saying that Queen Lizzy would have solved everything but she would have supported Liz Truss ... every little counts. WTF can Charles say to her in the weekly meetings?

 

She lived a dedicated life.and is possibly our last significant monarch.
