Is it true that the gems used in her crown was stolen in Africa?

Crazy if true!

They are from all over the place. Usually from battles.

They are saying 4.1 billion people.
Which is double the total population of the planet when the queen was born in 1926.

So just over half the planet. That is quite staggering. I don't think any event will ever come close to this.

Side note, the infastructure logistics to serve this live stream to 4.1 billion people is incredible.

I have ran out of sugar, bread, about half a cup of milk left, 1 and half bog roll and a few grams of baccy left. I have 3 kids to feed in the morning before school and get their pack ups done, no way I am draggin all 3 to the local off licence at 5 when it opens, hope the wife gets back from work before the local tesco petrol station closes.

Unless aliens land, I can’t think of any other event that would produce similar numbers.

I’d like to know what pattern it’s following then, as it’s clearly a full set of tiles on one side and half on the other side.

Unless we've peaked as a species and heading for disaster I should hope there is an event that produces larger numbers.
