Queen Elizabeth II | 1926-2022 | Rest in Peace

[groovyalbert]

She’s clearly already dead.

Probably

 

[Kaos]

Wonder if they’ll go with a lavish state funeral, would come across unfortunate and dare I say it - inappropriate and tone deaf at a time where most of the country is facing a cost of living crisis.

Will the football actually get called off?

Is she just an LFC fan taking one for the team here?

 

[calodo2003]

xD

 

[Mockney]

I believe so but would depend on the I'd have thought.

.. on the what!?….ON THE WHAT!!!???

 

[Camy89]

Poor woman. Hope she’s comfortable. This definitely feels like the end though.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

if you have your radio on and suddenly it starts playing somber music , something quite different from the stations normal music, be ready for the announcement.

I hope they go all out. Nothing would sum up the whole institution better.

Liz Truss’ speech writers will right now be preparing ‘touching speeches’ and gestures that the right wing press will put on the front cover and she’ll be branded as the ‘caring, Mother of a nation’ character, despite only just meeting the Queen.

It will be unbearable.

They will anyway. It's the head of state. Of course it will generate a few deadlines about how many millions it will inevitably cost, but there's no way that they'll scrimp on it.

Zoom in on her hands, they give away the severity of her condition.

It's an odd thing but will it matter if we miss the live announcement?

I know a Royal death is a big event but I do find the constant tv coverage mind numbing. Grateful for streaming platforms unlike the olden days.

Betting suspended with me. xD very high.

Huw Edwards in a very sombre suit and tie on the BBC now. The end is nigh.

What condition do you think it is? Hands look unusually dark in the picture.

There was a clip of a 19yr old Lib Dem Truss making a speech about abolishing the monarchy.

Can’t trust Truss as far as you can throw her. Loathsome tories.

https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a40166971/what-happens-when-queen-elizabeth-dies/#:~:text=The Queen's actual funeral will,“day of national mourning.”

If there is an awareness that the Queen’s passing is imminent (in other words, if she is sick), The Guardian reports that her senior doctor “will be in charge” and will control both access to her room and what information is made public. In this case, the palace will likely indicate that the Queen is unwell but won’t go into specifics—giving her subjects time to prepare for the news of her passing.

This is an extract of the protocol set up for her imminent passing. It is unusual for the palace to give mention on the Queens health.

Andrew is hurriedly trying to make sure she set the Direct Debit up properly.

Can we just have News items on this thread on the CE and personal opinions, slaggings off, sympathy sought tea and vicar/priest needed requests on the General Chat thread please?

I see what you're saying, but isn't that basically just a twitter update thread at that point? It's not like the Caf is the only place to get up-to-date news on this, it's going to be covered in excruciating detail on every single news source in the world.

She has bruising on her hand, she may have had a fall. My hands sometimes look like that. Your skin gets thin as you age, she may be on blood-thinning meds too.

Saw someone suggested she may have had a cannular.

Isn't the whole point of the CE forums to give your opinions and discuss the topic? I understand the slagging off part.

 

[Drawfull]

Golf just went off, assumed that was it. Trust Sky to do that at the most inopportune time.

 

[Rhyme Animal]

I'm sure Liz Truss is rubbing her hands in anticipation. Imagine the PR possibilities, she gets to be the stately PM when the UK is at its most patriotic.

Indeed, posted in the other forum…

Does Nicholas Witchell have some sort of pact with her? He looks like he could keel over at any second on the BBC News set.

Feck, if THEY’RE going, must be serious?

 

[horsechoker]

Too many jokes, let's have a little respect.

Can we limit it to 2 jokes/funny posts per page?

 

[neverdie]

News items on this thread on the CE and personal opinions,

what's the point of news if you can't comment on it or hold an opinion? presumably when she dies the update will happen.

Absolutely not.

I don't because it's not 1958

Are they doing that on every terrestrial channel?

 

[LARulz]

She’s clearly already dead.

Not yet but definitely within the next couple days
