Queen Elizabeth II has passed away - keep posts civil and respectful

Morbid, but would we get a national holiday/day of mourning if she passed?

The funeral day will be a bank holiday. There's a lot of fake news about 10-12 days, ignore that.

Looks like she might be attending the opening of Parliament next week but will ”see on the day”…. I expect Charles will end up doing it

Queen hands over to Charles and William for State Opening

It will be the first time she has missed the event since 1963, with Prince Charles delivering her speech.

I honestly don't think she's going to make the end of the year unfortunately

She has probably already died. The country cant afford to reprint the money.

I'd just assume it would be a two days off of work sort of job. One for mourning and another for the coronation

The way everything is being put in place. It sure looks that way.

Yeah it seems like they are preparing for it to be honest, they’ll be wanting her to cling on for the Jubilee, then it will quickly unravel and she’ll be gone.

I thought the jubilee celibration weekend (the real date was way back) might have been time to announce an abdication.
(passed is a yankee euphemism)

With the economic situation and the way the world is it would be horrible for the nation and for the world probably, but hopefully it could unite us as a country. Wish her all the best. She has had a good run.

Sometimes I find it unreal thinking back how long ago it was thinking when it was getting time with the Queen Mother in the year 2000, up until 2002 with her hip operations. I remember many Christmases my Gran would be over and her saying how well the Queen Mother was looking back in 1993/94/95.

Careful with the ears for the first 3 seconds.

This. Trying to keep her well for that.

Weekend at Bernies springs to mind.

 

[wordy]

I think shes fine. I bet she just doesn’t trust herself not dive across the chamber and stick the nut on johnson.

 

[jpaul]

yes that's a good point she's disgusted by brexit shanagans and party gate (previous prorogue ...) - so just decided to put her feet up for the day - and gives charles the opportunity for some sarcastic delivery of boris's plan.

As well as being concerned for Her Majesty's health I am concerned about The Metro's spelling, and its editorial proof reading.

The Queen’s fine. Stop spreading negative rumours

 

[Freakbro]

Well, she's obviously not "fine" else she wouldn't be missing these appointments.

But I'm not worried about her, at 96 it's perfectly normal to be on your last legs!

Yeah she's fine, she's just missing all these things she views as massively important for the lolz.

Exactly, she's happy to watch it on the telly after the racing and leave the legwork to the heirs.

When do we start referring to her as the King Mother?
