Queen Elizabeth II

[yeah whatever !!]

Wow all those people that have gone to Buckingham Palace...its very patriotic and so emotional ,blimey I'm really sad.

Anyone think Charles might abdicate and hand it to William?

I've always thought, especially given how long he's waited himself, that he should act as a go-between king. A couple of years on the throne whilst William prepares to become king then hand the reigns over to somebody who seems much more fitting to reign as king in this age. Wouldn't put money on it happening though.

I find this sad in the respect she was a grand and dignified old lady. I’ll remain a republican though and I’m going to struggle with 10 days of intense and often feigned mourning.

It's still early yet. It'll be rammed later.

If you've ever lost a loved one, and you know that loss is coming, it's still a shock when it happens. I do feel strangely sad about this, never thought I would and I'm not one bit a Royalist. Her sense of duty to this great nation, above the self, transcended her to a different level. Above the sludge of privilege and silver spoon lifestyle that infest the upper classes.

May she rest in peace.

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.

Wouldn’t be giving the Scouse rats a bank holiday, wonder if they’ll boo the minutes silence? Stay classy

Imagine if Celtic were playing tonight
