To mark the occasion, a short poem from Ryan Giggs OBE

"And sadly now The Queen has passed
Like Scholesy with his feet so fast
She's now succumbed to dreaded lurgy
and left the stage a bit like Fergie
I understand, like Cantona,
Her final words were "ooh and aah"
She served us well at being royal
Like Stevie Bruce, who was so loyal
She never smiled at Princess Michael
Like Gary Nev at Peter Schmeichel
So celebrate her regal life
Or I'll come round and nut your wife"

So the country comes to a standstill because the monarch dies? This isn't some banana republic.

Let those who want to mourn the head of an archaic institution do so via their own private means, not entirely sure why the rest of us need to be sucked into it at the expense of everything else going on.

(I'd take the bank holiday though).
We get a paid day off. leave it!

Huw Edwards has been brought on to anchor on the BBC TV news, already wearing a black tie which seems rather premature. The reporter at Balmoral was wearing a black coat. Plans appear to be afoot.

Bbc are saying it would be an enormous loss for the country and saying about Diana now.

They wouldn't be suspending all programming now if she didn't die they've been briefed

No mention of totem poles so it can't be Giggsy's work

I hope she doesn't die because I don't want to have to deal with weeks of tributes at every single thing and the real issues of the world being left in the background.

Will surely be the end of this stupid monarchy, though, so there's that.

My question is, would the queen passing affect weekend EPL football? Any chance they delay matches?

What’s wrong with a minutes silence? Why cancel games? The deference to this archaic institution is disgusting. How can you live in an equal society while bowing down to inherited power like this.

Have been told by a friend who works in the BBC that lots of people have been told that they have to stay until at least midnight tonight to cover this.
Probable that she has already died and they are just waiting to announce it.

I'm surprised someone who is less famous than Ronaldo is getting this much attention.
