I went to the cinema with the then GF. Saw Life of Brian. Only 3 customers but probably a dozen staff ETA. Sorry memory playing up. It was her wedding day we went to the cinema Edited September 8, 2022 by kevster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very likely that the funeral will be a bank holiday. I just can’t understand the logic behind this announcement. Are other eating establishments closing and places of entertainment? Government Offices closing? Edited September 8, 2022 by 2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Ship Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 1 hour ago, war baby said: The Monarchy has changed hands. A family has lost a valued member. May she rest in peace. King Charles III now reigns. I might be mistaken, but I thought it had been announced a couple of decades ago that - when he eventually succeeded to the throne - he wouldn't take the title Charles III ? (I'm most definitely not a royalist but I think the Queen did a fantastic job over a 70 year period. However, I continue to be amazed that she and Philip decided to name the heir to the throne after two of the most divisive monarchs the country has ever seen... ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Ship Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 4 hours ago, The Phantom said: If she does croak imminently it will not be good for the UK's fucked factor. Globally she is a linchpin and figurehead for the UK, ... Proudly a Royalist, she's probably the Greatest and most important Briton of the last 50 years... I am most certainly not a proud royalist, but I wholeheartedly agree with that final statement. For 70 years she has accomplished the impossible task of being politically impartial in her role as head of state, and at the same time heading up what seems to be a largely dysfunctional family. It's all downhill with Charles (or however he becomes styled) as head of state. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are however people who die every day who have had more challenging lives, more demanding lives, lives where they were more selfless etc etc. I am not knocking the lady or belittling her death, but to say we will never see the like again is a bit odd. She had a life that I wouldn’t have wanted but also more wealth and privilege than almost anyone else ever born will ever know. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
