YesNot to be insensitive but given this is a football forum, does the PL get postponed if she dies?
Without a doubt. If the funeral is the next weekend, those fixtures will go to. Can’t see how any London games would go ahead anyway. The met will prioritise the funeral and unlikely to allow officers to police football matches whilst the funeral is on.Not to be insensitive but given this is a football forum, does the PL get postponed if she dies?
WTFEven the MSNBC on air talent are in black outfits.
Does anyone have a link to all the stuff that would really happen in that period? I've seen articles and rumours but nothing concrete.Yes
the nation would go into a state of mourning for a 9 day period so sports fixtures would stop during this period
Not from the royals, only a few people in the close circle would need to know.You dont think there would be leaks in this day and age?

I’ve started a thread in the General about exactly that and all the other crazy shit that might happen.Not to be insensitive but given this is a football forum, does the PL get postponed if she dies?

My friend is a BBC reporter - was told a few hours ago to go home to change into black clothing and return
Don’t know if it’s merely a coincidence, but some are in a black shirt / jacket combo, others are in a very dark colored shirt / jacket outfit.

I've heard they booked Paul Lambert by mistake.Because of her performance at the Jubilee event, constitutionally will she be replaced by Adam Lambert?
The burial of monarchs takes place 9 days after passing I think, so the official mourning period will be no longer than that. Afterwards it is all a celebration of the new King.That's the immeidate aftermath, it doesn't say anything about the mourning period.
Thanks. I thought that he refused it in William's favor few years ago.Charles, he's William's father. He's next in line.
Right, but people talking about no comedy, no sports etc. in that period. I'm wondering where they get that from.The burial of monarchs takes place 9 days after passing I think, so the official mourning period will be no longer than that. Afterwards it is all a celebration of the new King.
Reminds me of the time I turned up to work in buckled shoes, a green bow tie, a long green apron over a green waistcoat with yellow buttons and a big green top hat while smoking a pipe.Don’t know if it’s merely a coincidence, but some are in a black shirt / jacket combo, others are in a very dark colored shirt / jacket outfit.
I don't care about the Queen, so I'll focus on you. How are you doing and are you back because Arsenal aren't terrible?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?

For those wondering why there is a delay...
They also need to coordinate the announcement with Canada, Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and 9 other countries (if my maths is right).
Yes, even Netflix and Prime Video subscriptions will be suspended during the mourning periodI am seeing some suggest football will be cancelled...is this possible?
Royal Family ITK, eh?Also been told that She passed a short while ago and we’ll be told this evening. Loads of preparation before they can announce it as you can imagine.
RIP
