I think the 6PM "thing" is being conflated with some of the other parts of "Operation London Bridge"
Under that plan the new monarch meets the PM and then delivers a speech to the nation at 6PM the evening following the death of the previous monarch.

What is Operation London Bridge???

Was that the early 40s?

She was a mechanic in WW2 I think.

Obviously that is impossible with hospitals etc. Imagine all the looting with the police having a day off. I am working Sunday so hopefully the roads will be empty or they give us the day off.

Yeah I meant shops and the likes.

At PMQs liz truss and starmer were handed a piece of paper about the queen and they both looked shocked and the mood instantly changed

Do you think that was notifying them of her passing and that operation london bridge was now in force?

Why would they look so shocked if it basically said she's seriously ill

BBC website just changed to black theme.

You know, I think I now remember seeing that photo somewhere. Cannot remember if it was on TV. I remember seeing that photo now the way the Queen mother was leaning over smiling.
