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

[Greebo]

Better not be a day off tomorrow. I've already booked it off.

day off is on day 10, on her day of her funeral. So Sunday 18th if she passed away today or would they move it to the Monday?

Prince Charles will be announced as the new King with the first 24 hours.

Worse news is Parliament is disbanded for 10 days.

Also Liz passing away in Scotland, then her coffin comes back on the train to London and is met by the PM and her cabinet on day 3.

6pm then...

Yep I'm thinking so.

 

[Firestar_3x]

That's significant.

6pm announcement of death looks almost inevitible now.

Not seeing the BBC in black... not news, nor homepage etc.

 

[StriderX]

I don't see any change on the website?

 

[Greebo]

I thought it was a day off just for the funeral?

Still wouldn't mind a Friday off but the client I'm working for at the moment would still have us all coming in

Its not an offical day off, just a National day of mourning with 2 minutes silence at midday. Up to employers whether they give their staff the day off.

Mobile isn’t black…

Neither is the desktop site, for me at least.
