Queen Elizabeth II

[blue44]

She’s up there but King Athelstan is the greatest Englishman that ever lived.

Michael Wood would confirm this

God Bless The Queen.

An amazing human being and a true lady.

RIP. And never was a rest more deserved.

Nope, otherwise Truss would't have called him king charles

He’s waited 53 years for this,not a chance in hell

Plus, Williams children are still very young. No chance in hell, as you say, he will want to take on that responsibility before his kids are older

 

[Bill]

Rest in Peace Our Majesty, a shame some people seem to think this is a good day, I hope they get over themselves eventually, but they probably don’t have enough brain cells

Dickheads all over Facebook laughing and taking the piss out of a little old woman they’ve never met and never done them any harm! Stay classy you absolute arse wipes!

That’s social media for you. Try that in a pub and they’d get this



Do it on social media and nowt happens.

Yep. It's also not how monarchy works. You don't pass it over unless you abdicate.

We have had Kings die after only a couple of years, same people who said the Queen could step down.

She was always going right to the end.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Not yet, he'll give it a go but he's getting on himself. I think a lot will depend on how he handles the job and if there is a real threat of the country becoming a republic. If his reign starts going pear shaped or the royalty comes under pressure, he'll pass it to William.

Like a hot potato?

I might be wrong, but her part in the peace process seams under rated. The IRA blew her cousin up, but the fact she was prepared to put that aside for the greater good was a monumental gesture.
No idea what the view was of her in ireland in general but i think her input and visit to dublin a few years back appeared , to me, huge

She genuinely did create a ripple here. The significance of her visit and her actions and speeches was not wasted on the general
public.

I think she impressed all but the insignificant few who will never progress.

Honestly. I like the rest of the Republic am not into monarchy but I actually got slightly emotional watching her speech in Dublin Castle. Over here it is being described as probably the most important and impressive speeches of her reign. I don’t know if it would be viewed that way universally but that’s how it was perceived here.

She did as much to change minds over here as any other British diplomat I can think of.

I remember her and Philip over there, it was an immense moment

Thank you very much for the inside take on that. Appreciated

A sad day for Britain, the Commonwealth, and the world.
RIP your Majesty.

So new money, new stamps etc so does Charles have to sit for pics, or do they use a previous pic or one that has been done in anticipation? Also does he have to sit for a new engraving of him sat on throne that goes on coins etc ?

Is that really your immediate thoughts?

 

[super_city_si]

pretty mental that she's not only the only monarch i've ever known (Im 50) she's the only monarch my dad has ever known. Crazy
