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

[GreatAuk]

Huw Edwards on the news in dark suit and tie, just finished talking to the royal correspondent. Certainly taking it seriously.

 

[Lysander]

BBC have cancelled all "normal" programming until 6PM apparently and rolled out Huw Edwards

Huw Edwards? Things ARE bad.

 

[Droolinggimp]

Not wanting to sound a douche, but would football fixtures be cancelled tonight?

I'm sure he's "the" presenter on the BBC for announcing these kind of things, not sure if he's normally on at this time?

He looks like he's just rolled out of bed

Nah thats a valid question. With it being European games i doubt it but honestly not sure.

 

[Junglist]

If they've brought out the big guns in Huw, surely that's it done.

Almost certainly. I remember them all being cancelled when Diana died

Fair play to QEII for serving in her role for so long. She even got to see her great grandchildren which is not something many get to say.

For the Queen passing, I would think so. Everything will stop.

Whats the order of knowing if she has died. I will assume all the black ties/suits are from the head of BBc/sky etc being told by government officials, who in turn have been told by the PM who was told by the Palace.??

 

[glenimp617]

I think BBC1 over Sky News?

Sorry about my comment being deleted. No offense was meant. Just a flippant comment I posted without thinking.

 

[Haggisman]

I'm by no means a royalist, but still will be sad when she goes - I don't think anyone can argue she hasn't been a huge part of our national identity since before most people on here were even born.

Huw Edwards was sweating a lot.

It’s the end.


God Save The Queen.

Harry and Meghan now on their way.

Yeah it seems like they all are on their way for the last bit of her journey on this earth.

I was planning on watching Malmo - Braga, do you think that's off?
