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

[glenimp617]

Looking at back at today's message #370 I think I would like to send TheOracle £50 if he or she promises never to give opinion as to my future well being! A more appropriate forum name is sadly hard to imagine.

I don't know why, but I had an awful feeling last night which is why I started reading up about operation London Bridge. Told a workmate this morning that something wasn't right.

Do you really think she's not dead or not just about to die? All her family have gone to see her. All presenters wearing black. This is it.

Well before my gran finally went we had the "you should get to the hospital" call about a dozen times.

ahhh that would explain it...... who on earth decided to name 2 rivers the same? anyway sorry to derail i shall shut up again

It's perfectly excusable as there are 5 rivers in Great Britain called the Dee. But it must have been galling paddling north for weeks on end and never getting out of Wales

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.

No. This is it. Building up to the announcement either at 6pm or 6pm tomorrow. They would not be doing what they are doing if something wasn't trickled down the official channels.

I don't think they're all gonna be wearing black unless they know for sure. They'd look pretty silly dressed to mourn someone who isn't dead.

I think she's probably deteriorating buy not dead

She's dead just waiting for offical announcements my take on it.

It should be announced today if she has passed.

Megan told to stay away it sounds like.

I thought the 6pm thing was the statement from the new monarch, not announcement of passing?

 

[Lysander]

It should be announced today if she has passed.

I would say waiting till tomorrow would be too long with regard to public speculation but there are so many people out there who are stupid. The DM comment section is full of people saying, "hope she pulls through!".

 

[MooMoo444]

Sounds like they’re just waiting for the family to arrive before announcing

I read somewhere that a close source alluded that it's embargoed until 18:00

apparntly she is dead and they are lining everyone up to break the news
friend of a friend knows someone whos family have already been inforned already at 15:34. they got told before when philip died aswell

If so, not really great news especially the current state the country and world is in, even though monarchy is a bit and some people actually hate it. It is literally what makes the uk the uk. hope charles skips it and good old william takes over

i have a mate of a mate, who knows this other mate

and he said his family have been told also

 

[StriderX]

If she'd just been mildly unwell then all these rushed family visits wouldn't have occurred, I think it's fairly obvious what's happening is her final days if not hours assuming she's not already passed away.

 

[montymint]

Any More Meghan jibes / jokes will lead to a thread ban / 24 hour sus.

There's the final warning.

Yeah I agree it may have already happened. But it does seem premature to have started the coverage at c1pm and just to be infilling etc.

Your Uncle work at Nintendo too?

 

[200sols]

Imo they wouldnt gather everyone publicly unless she was dead.

She may have been approaching the end given the statement they released. Things could have progressed faster than expected and some of the Royal Family may not have made it in time. It’s hardly unheard of.
