RIP Queen Elizabeth

[Deleted member 26715]

Not a monarchist here but the lady has worked really hard over the past 70 years - every credit to her.

A sad time but all life comes to an end (assuming this is where it is heading) and she has had one heck of a long and wonderful life - seen and done more in her life than any 'normal' person could hope for.

🙁

Bet she's also had to endure some horrendous evening as well, imagine having to sit next to some of the worlds political leaders for a whole evening, or some of the shows she's been forced to watch.

I'm not really a Royalist, but I am a huge fan of hers, if I can be one without the other.

She had a good innings. RIP Your Majesty.

Give her a chance!

So glad that I don't have TV but do have DAB radio and books.

Weird or planned..? You decide

When the death of Prince Philip was announced, many were surprised at the coincidences number wise.
99 years old
99th day of the year
9th of April

Was it just a coincidence that he died on this day?
Or, is it possible that he had died earlier and his death was simply announced at chosen time?

Queens Death announced tomorrow
9am?
9pm ?
9th day..?
9th month..?

It’ll undoubtedly be sad if this is her final days, I do feel sorry for her huge family.
I’ve always been anti-monarchy but not anti-Elizabeth as a human being and caring mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Hope it’s peaceful for her and she goes with a good malt in her hand.

Having witnessed my father's final days earlier this year and being with him just hours before his death, I doubt very much that booze will be on the Queen's mind if she is at the doorway to death.
The best she can hope for is some comfort and dignity. Dying of old age isn't often the peaceful experience it is usually portrayed to be as your body finally breaks down and ceases to function.

I'm not the type who hangs on everything the royals say & do, but I do think she's been a pretty good ambassador for the country.

Something as exciting as that must be good for at least an hour's worth of material by the time we've had an in-depth analysis of who polished the car this morning and what he had for breakfast.

Has your tin hat fallen off ?
WHY would they bother with the 99 rubbish ? Was he having a 99 er at the same time ? Jesus.

I think you're spending too much time alone, Milzy.

Like many people I have gone through similar experiences to the immediate family so I can vaguely identify with what's happening.

But lets face it, the question that many of us want answered is: Will we get a day off? If not for the funeral will there be an extra bank holiday for the coronation?

CycleChat is so much richer for having a resident ambassador from QAnon.
