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

[Sankari]

Probably my favourite photo of QEII. Nice that her mum's there too.



A different generation, and truly a different breed. They lived to serve.

They took BBC News HD off Freeview recently.

Anyone finding this camera over the airfield a bit perverse? Why do we need to see this?

Unlike the 1970's many more TV stations are available for your viewing.

Huw constantly seems like he has to watch his words and remind himself of what he can/can't say.

SD has been dead to me for 20 years.

Do we need a minute by minute account of people and transport arriving?

The presenters probably hate events like this as it's so difficult to fill the time with anything meaningful.

I don't envy the pressure he's under right now.

BBC seem to think so.

I was at a B&B during 9/11. Glad 5 was showing their normal schedule. Can’t remember what was on but better than seeing a plane hitting the towers for the 52nd time in 2 hours

Its a shame we don't have any 4K

We don't know that she hasn't to be fair

I've got the feed on in the background while I work, and I swear that earlier I heard him refer to her in the past tense.

 

[Kyo]

Is she 96 or 94? Media keeps reporting different age?

I'll bet she has.

She's 96.

He's done it a few times, referred to her in the past tense and then sort of corrected himself.

Info on Operation London Bridge / Unicorn / Overstudy

Britain’s plan for when Queen Elizabeth II dies

POLITICO has obtained documents laying out Operation LONDON BRIDGE in granular detail.

The bit that struck me as interesting is that BBC has cancelled all regular programming until 6pm, but...

The prime minister will then hold an audience with the new king, and at 6 p.m., King Charles will deliver a broadcast to the nation.

I think BBC jumped the gun a bit here surely. Been on for a few hours now and they're just infilling. Should have waited a bit longer till she was actually deceased I think.
