It's fitting then that the last PM of her reign is every bit as great as Churchill himself was.
Queen Elizabeth II | 1926-2022 | Rest in Peace

Di Maria vibes really
From Churchill to Liz Struss. That would make anyone lose the will to live.
Well having watched both of them you are definitely one of life's winners.
If she's passes away before this weekend I would imagine all this weekends fixtures professional and amateur in the UK will be postponed out of respect.
I would imagine that would be it though, they will find room in the schedule somewhere for the postponed fixtures.

To be fair, my nephew is 3 years old and has already had 3 prime ministers.
I heard that they won't be postponed and will instead all be set to results of 1-3 as a mark of respect to Prince Andrew.
No, before we went decimal we had currency with George VI's image on it, even Edward VII pennies if I recall (I remember old pennies, the big ones). All modern currency has the Queen's head because all the coins were changed after decimalisation. There was a time when we still had old currency in the system, such as florins (worth 2 old shillings) being worth 10 new pence.
edit - all new currency will have Charles's image, of course.
True. So much winning.
Sky had some February 22 footage, and she looked a lot more sprightly. She's lost a shitload of weight.
we just need a reporter and some kids with a big floppy dildo now.
EDIT - of age adults.
First president she met as Queen was Dwight D Eisenhower born 1890
Gone a bit quiet after "preparing" for what feels like forever, are all monarchies this slow at getting things over the line or just us?

When does Sounness blame Pogba?
My Brother in law told me it’s being announced at 6pm, he works in the Air Force. Although he could have just read something online, I couldn’t even be bothered to ask where he got the information from.
The only reason I think not is that it would have had to been quite sudden. Obviously that’s not uncommon, but you’d have thought a team of doctors would be able to detect the slightest change in order to get the family up there quicker.
From what I am reading half of it sounds like a joke
"London bridge is down"
12 days of mourning?
No BBC for 12 days?
Suspending comedy?
Possible closing stock market for days costing billions?
Wild.

State of this ffs. The amount of posters here mocking the death (or eventual) of a 96 year old woman has suprised me. Dislike the monarchy all you like but she's not exactly Jimmy Saville. Have some fecking respect.

6pm is what the BBC said for suspending all programmes that's when the announcement will be imo
Any giant purple dildos on display (apart from Andrew, obviously)?
Damnit this sucks, so close to my birthday, I can't afford two celebratory cakes and drinks within a month.

Much like Diana overshadowed the death of Mother Teresa, the Queen's death is going to overshadow the appointment of Graham Potter to Chelsea. Poetic.
Is that fake?

Meghan not going.
Ah, once this is done we can finally move onto the alien invasion episode.
If she dies I think it's only right that we remove the green laughing smiley for the month.
This and the one about the second plane have had me in hysterics
I thought the British were famous for having a crude sense of humour.
Apparently celebrating and openly making jokes about an old woman dying is more acceptable than wishing injury on a football player. The latter will get you mobbed and run out of the forum with virtual pitchforks
I can live without actively mocking the given royal but if you're mocking the state of the song and dance around the institution at times like this you can have free reign in my book. I'll have some fecking respect for the British establishment when they have some fecking respect for me and my class.
Leave Britney alone
Give it to Meghan till the end of the season!
