National News The Queen - D Day onwards

[Oxymoron]

Looked frail when she met the new PM and it seems family are gathering....

 

[Oslernorth]

The Palace rarely comment on the Monarchy’s health.
Charles and William heading to see her.

 

[Northstandboy]

This doesn’t sound good. It must be pretty bad if the close family are going up to visit her

 

[bazzer9461]

A mention just now on the news saying that when a member of the royal family is I’ll they don’t all travel but today they are now.
Hope she recovers

 

[Essexyellows]

Signs are less than good if the family are gathering.
Hope she recovers, but nobody lasts forever and the inevitable comes to us all.
God Save The Queen.

 

[Essexyellows]

Speaker mentioned it in the HoC as well........... softening folk for the inevitable one feels.

 

[Oxymoron]

It does seem that expectations are being managed; London Bridge is falling down....

 

[Marked Ox]

Charles for King then considering the reporting and messages in Parliament which is unusual when she's been ill before recently.

And a free week for our players to get closer to returning from injury as football would likely be cancelled if her death is announced tomorrow. Hopefully she doesn't die but as EY says nothing lasts forever.

 

[Manorlounger]

Possibly the end of an era. Very sad. Inevitable but still sad.

Putting it in layman’s terms. One hell of a lady God save the Queen

 

[Essexyellows]

All BBC 1 programming suspended until 6pm replaced by live news.

 

[Basham Wonderland]

A very sad day, I'm not sure what more we can ask of her. We are lucky to have had her.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

She had a very good run indeed. Did her country proud and has to go down as one of the best monarchs this country has ever seen.

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

Incredible woman who dedicated her life to service without choice, without scandal and with love , consistency and compassion

 

[Essexyellows]

Looks like the PM or similar departed Northolt a liitle while ago.

There is a separate protocol/plan if she passes away in Scotland.

The media is going to be unbearable

 

[Basham Wonderland]

The media is going to be unbearable

You can instead read books, watch films or even leave the house if you wish.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

Agreed but you could say that to almost anything. Apart from maybe lockdown…

Whenever this happens I'm sure the majority of people would accept a few weeks of quite heavy media coverage. This is an event none of us have seen in our lifetimes and I think there will be a lot of interest.

 

[RyanioBirdio]

I see our current Queen as almost bigger than the crown itself at this point. My parents are both retired and she’s the only monarch they have ever known, let alone me. Her reign has been extraordinary and I doubt it will ever be matched. Duties aside, IMO she is the single most famous person on Earth.

I’m no royalist but I respect her immensely and certainly won’t begrudge what’s to come in terms of coverage and the temporary impact on everyday life.

 

[Eaststanding]

The media is going to be unbearable

Understandably so, God bless her.

 

[Eaststanding]

Dedicated herself to the service of the nation. Sorry to speculate, but possibly she's already gone and the announcement will be held up until the family have all gathered.

You might be right, I thought the same. Didn’t help that Huw Edwards appeared to read the news wearing a black tie.

 

[QR]

I'm impressing on my children just what a significant historical event this is/will be so they can take it all in. Like @RyanioBirdio I'm not a royalist but her reign has been impeccable

 

[Oxymoron]

In the last hour, the BBC have gone from "apprehensive" and "uneasy" to "sombre" and "foreboding".

 

[Mojofilter]

Oh yeah. Almost certainly already gone. I doubt they'd say anything to the public otherwise

Some of us have, me included.

 

[holdsteady]

They are basically reading tributes out to her now. She has probably already passed away.
No royalist but a hell of a woman, one of the true great British people of all time.

God Save The Queen.

 

[Malc]

Some of us have, me included.

And me.

 

[gofish2]

I remember her using words like 'steadfast' and 'perseverance' in an interview a while back after Prince Phillip's death. She is probably one of the most reassuring, wise and considerate human beings we have had in our lives. I know that anti royalists may have different views, but I think i am acknowledging the woman, not the title.

 

[bazzer9461]

She is highly revered around the world. As others have said truly a giant for the U.K. and the commonwealth.
She will be sorely missed and as others have alluded to she may have already passed but I can’t honestly believe this is a precaution.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
