The Queen is not well ☹️ Edit - RIP Queen Elizabeth II

I think telling lies is harsh. I think they are just trying to coordinate the messages so, should the worst happen, the sad news will be transmitted clearly and universally with no ambiguity

See the link the news is presented in a formal way. There’s no ambiguity.

On channel 4 now

This reminds me of last year when my dad died and we all went to see him in hospital, but the same happened to my mate but his dad pulled round and went back how he was .

Whilst I’m no royalist this lady has given her life to the service of the Country and the commonwealth. Whilst I have little time for the majority she has steadfastly worked for the country she loves. She couldn’t help being born into the institution she was but has done her duty with class and dignity.

although she has given something, she has taken a lot too. I wouldn't call her 'job' work either.

Nicholas Witchell is not in black. Huw Edwards might have a black tie on, but not a black suit.

I think she's already gone, hence the coverage. The
family will know but they're sticking to the announcement planning.

Otherwise there's a chance that there'll be no BBC1 programmes for some time.

Have millions of others been the head of state for 15 other countries during this time?

And precisely how did she qualify to be head of state of any of those countries?
Spoiler. She fell out of the right birth canal.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Agree. But there's a time and a place.

You sound like the ex PM. Any time but now.

Brighton have put in a request to cancelled the rest I’d the season

Few members making the board look bad again. If you’ve got nothing nice to say don’t bother.

Spot on. Usual suspects too. Can't help themselves when it comes to royals. Like flies round ****.

God save the queen

God save the queen

You do know there's no god?

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

You do know there's no god?

Or queen now, perhaps?

I’ve never see Nicholas witchell talk like this before he knows it’s not good.

Is he grovelling *and* crying?

I don think so as this impacts Australia Canada etc.

Hardly

So many on here with no respect , they comments are appalling

You're not supposed to show respect, you're supposed to show deference. So get that cap doffed and forelock tugged!

What? Not in black? Off with his head!

 

[indeedido]

Crass and beneath him? His mother has just passed and he's not especially enamoured with the level of faux grief levelled at one of the most privileged people in modern history.

I find your response to be considerably crass. As I'm sure you will this post.

She has maintained the image for them for sure, she's needed to. I wonder if they'll eat themselves in the vacuum.

Apt username.

I tend to agree. A few journos are speculating 'something' might of happened in the last 24 hours. You have to wonder if the message about the Queen being unwell and monitored by docs was cover for the family to all fly to Balmoral and once they are all present it will be announced.

Harry coming is the big deal for me. When he was not planning on seeing the Queen on his visit but now he's speeding to Balmoral tells it's own story.

quite an achievement to do both at the same time
