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

[cheesefest]

My nan was totally fine, lived on her own, no mobility issues until she was 95, had one fall and then 9 months later she had deteriorated dramatically and needed fulltime care then died aged 96

My grandmother has deteriorated a lot in 18 months. She has lost so much weight as hardly eating anything. Those snack size pork pies she has a third of one. Then cuts a Mr Kipling cake in half.

Her health is awful at the moment. Hoping she’s not dragging life for not much more.

She’s 94.

Yeah - don't see why PM would be going anyway tbh

She needs to stay away everything was fine until she visited

Watching BBC News, have they changed into Black over the past half hour or so..?

An hour or two ago.

Huw has had black on all afternoon but the fact they wheeled him out suggests it's all but over

I didn’t realise all regular tv on bbc has stopped. Sounds like we’re imminent. I’ll be honest that I really like our Queen.

 

[Feek]

Watch it on a tablet/phone, I'm sure no boss is going to mind having the queen's funeral on the TV during work hours. Surely.

Not so easy when you work in a supermarket.

There's an RAF jet which left Northolt at half two and is heading for Aberdeen - no idea who's on it but I can't see anything getting announced while they aren't there

RAF Northolt is the airport that the Queen’s coffin will land before going to Buckingham Palace.

I don't think anyone disliked her. The monarchy is a different thing but the queen herself has been such an important figure for the UK and the world really.

Which hardly anyone would be there. If not royalist, some may fancy watching the funeral of a Queen

Yep, although I understand that if she dies in Scotland she will lie in state at Holyrood Palace for a few days and "should" be taken by train to London (if Network Rail aren't on strike!)

Airport ground staff flossing on the live stream?

Think they are doing the plane just in case.

Yeah I saw that! Lol!

 

[Voltar]

A great shame and a monumental loss.

 

[jsmoke]

What a human being, a different class altogether, I'll be genuinely upset for the first time in a while if she dies.

There's 7 members of the Royal Family on the plane, its not there for the coffin (yet)

Edit: Sky saying, Harry and Meghan are on the plane actually

It sounds like she's gone. R.I.P

Huw Edwards has got his work cut out here, talking in circles for hours.

My nan lived to 94, She was admitted to hospital just after her last Xmas. She just stopped eating when she went in. Fell out of bed twice during her last stay there, passed away 90 days later. PM revealed she weighed 4 stone at time said passing. Our family thought she'd just had enough of life.
