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

A lot of people were saying she’s coped well and looks like she is still happy, but she has been a Queen for 69 years. If anyone has learnt how to put a brave face on while being devastated inside, it’s her.
 
She is 95. It would be nice if she could make it to 100 if she is still healthy but at her age death is just around the corner. I'd hope she would just pop off rather than hang on and have no quality of life.
 
When she goes the news, TV and internet will be full of rubbish for weeks. Random people being interviewed with nonsenses stories such as "I met the queen outside a hairdressers" you know how the UK loves a bit of cheap TV. It was bad enough with World War documentaries every few days last time I saw terrestrial.
 
She's old, it's inevitable. There's nothing to worry about unless you think the monarchy is at risk from the rest of the family being trash.
 
Ir's just bonkers that the queen has been on the throne for nearly 70 years. She's earned everyone's respect, I reckon.

The Queen has probably met more "important" people than anyone else in history.

I quite like the Queen, and I used to be a rabid republican.

Ah, the proverbial elephant in the room...

I can't see her going for much longer, seems quite common to go downhill quickly when someone loses a very long time partner.
 
People forget that she’s 95.5 years old. My grandmother who is 18 months younger than the Queen, couldn’t do 5 minutes of what the Queen does.

When the dreaded day of the Queen passing, just hope that social media blocks any anti Royal family stuff and hopefully ALL SHOPS should close for respect for Queen Elizabeth II.
 
Would be funny if she’s just sat at home with a gin watching box sets and telling her staff to say she’s knackered because she can’t be bothered to hobnob with the likes of Boris and Biden.

Why would shops closing be respectful?

Kinda wonder if she's preparing to abdicate.

Never. She has said many times that being Queen is a pact with god, and she will rule until her death. Her uncle’s abdication hurt the family pretty bad and threw the monarchy into a constitutional crisis. She wouldn’t repeat that.

Was thinking the same. Probably broken heart syndrome. Hope she goes on longer. It’s downhill after her.

Doesn’t help when Philip died during a time when only 30 people allowed to attend the funeral.

Those I know who had deaths and funerals of loved ones during lockdowns and restricted numbers found it tougher than pre pandemic. Then got the unnecessary stress and upset of deciding who attends the funeral. Plus unable to hug etc of anyone outside household and support bubble. This lack of basic natural things people do with friends and family when somebody dies like going round for a chat n coffee, doing the garden etc. is prolonging the bereavement

I actually went to a funeral during the hight of the pandemic and screw the rules we hugged and cried together.

She wants a day off.

Like others, I want to watch the funeral service on TV. I have met the Queen once and saw her and Philip in their car going to open a school where I used to live. It wasn’t a school I attended.

I wasn’t working at my employer at the time. My work closed for Diana’s funeral and reopened an hour later. Hardly a soul turned up.
