[Raoul]

RIP

 

[Brownie85]

Rest in Peace Your Majesty There will never be another like her

From someone who never bothered with anything regarding the royal family and all that bullshit, genuinely curious. How was she as a person? Obviously her husband was a racist twat all those years, so curious what the perception amongst non crazy people are in the UK about her? Did she mainly just do media duties or did she actually do anything.

She doesn't seem to be cut from the same cloth as the rest of them. The best of them I'd imagine.

 

[esmufc07]

I just can't come to terms with the fact that football might be postponed. How? Why?

RESPEKT

She did a lot. For a start, she had a weekly meeting with the Prime Minister where anything could be discussed. It's been said that because this was all absolutely confidential, the various PMs liked to have the opportunity to use her as a sounding board. She'd met virtually every world leader, she'd seen it all and she was an intelligent woman.

Philip hit a century. Charles has another 20 in him I think

Neh he's so red and has big puffy hands. Can't see that but who knows.

RIP

RIP Queen, served the country with grace for so many years, quite a poignant day.

Pretty much this.

 

[GDaly95]

RESPEKT

Even for the crackpots who want to mourn this nonsense, surely gatherings all over the land in the form of football matches is a pretty good platform to do so like

 

[oates]

probably time to bring it into the 21st century and give himself a mumble rapper type name.

I hope so, I'd have even less respect for him.

 

[bosnian_red]

She came across as ok? Seemed to do a reasonable job as a monarch. Not so great as a parent. Her kids were pretty fecked up.

Fair enough. I'm sure parenting people who are "royalty" is quite difficult so hard to put much blame on her for that.

Always got the impression everything associated with that family was pretty rotten, but maybe a case of she was fine but the rest a disaster?

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

 

[Infra-red]

I knew she was done for when the family had to turn up.

They were told to get there because she was on her way out.

I would assume that they have been expecting this for some time. She was unwell.

 

[always_hoping]

Didn't live much longer than Philip. 96 is some age and remained active to recently. The Queen Mother lived to 101 if i recall right.

 

[Rightnr]

Huge moment for the nation. The world really. I know we all joke but this will be remembered as one of the most important moments in the 21st Century

Outside of the UK, it'll be news for a day, max two.

 

[devilish]

She will be the last Queen of England we will remember alive

 

[FootyGirl88]

So sad, god rest her soul

 

[united_99]

RIP

 

[rimaldo]

She will be the last Queen of England we will remember alive

i’m only going to remember her as dead.

 

[MoskvaRed]

A minute’s silence at the start of the 2nd half in the FCZ Arsenal game.

 

[Adam-Utd]

I just can't come to terms with the fact that football might be postponed. How? Why?

I don’t think you realise what a big deal this is for the UK.

Whether it’ll continue or not is hard to know, but the country will be shook for a while.

 

[Devil81]

RIP Queen Elizabeth ll

 

[VorZakone]

Does feel odd. Like end of an era.

 

[Camy89]

I mean the British monarchy really isn't that big of a deal outside of Britain, regardless of your (or my) personal view on the matter

Well she was head of state in 14 other nations so might be a bit of deal there. Granted not for everyone, but the death of the Queen is worldwide news. Will it affect everyone, of course not, but just because something doesn’t affect you doesn’t make it not newsworthy.

 

[onemanarmy]

Not a chance. The royal weddings are main news items for weeks and weeks, let alone the dead of an icon of our time.

 

[FireballXL5]

All our cash is now obsolete.

Rest in peace Queen

Yeah, not like there’s a largest war since ww2 on-going in Europe currently!

 

[JPRouve]

No but seriously, the death of her mother didn't register as a particularly big moment, or at least it doesn't today. The thing that will make her death memorable is that it is the same year Russia declared the stupidest war that Europe has seen in a long time.

Of course it's newsworthy, no doubt. Similar to the Pope dying for example. But it won't be anywhere close to the most significant moments this century for anyone outside of those 15 countries, and likely not even for those inside

 

[rimaldo]

got to feel for liverpool. now their implosion will be forgotten by everyone, just like their covid pl

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

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.

Huw Edwards has been fantastic to be fair, several hours of nothing until the announcement

 

[BD]

You are deluding yourself. This is one of the most momentous moments in our lifetimes.

I reckon you're the one going a bit overboard. Or you're joking.

Rest In Peace, Queen Elizabeth

 

[McGrathsipan]

I'm really worried for the UK now.
The Queen is the last pillar of strength and her presence has been felt through the ages

The UK has a weak PM and no queen !

fecking worrying

Explains why I switched over to the Simpsons

Where? Maybe on BBC news but otherwise no.

 

[TheNewEra]

The monarchy will never be the same

 

[Vidic_In_Moscow]

She died this afternoon

not at 3oclock though

 

[Penna]

You think so? I think the American press will beg to differ.
