Queen Elizabeth II

[hilts]

Seemed like a nice lady and was a hard worker so gets a lot of respect for that. Will be strange seeing someone else take the role.

We are no longer living in the second Elizabethan era, we are living in the third Caroline era.

Can we please take talk of Liverpool FC to another thread please @Ric?

Good idea. It is unbelievable LFC has not got a statement on its website as City and United have. They deserve to be slated but perhaps not here.

Oddly we were archiving a load of old papers 3 years back and we were throwing out KB paperwork. We had discussed it in work this afternoon that everything would change.

Had and sent a few texts on the QC thing.

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.

Interesting that you should say that. Victoria's one visit to Ireland was hugely popular, she was acclaimed in the streets. Despite the fact that the Famine was within living memory.

Yes, not sure why some people keep bringing up Liverpool but there is a separate thread for that.

It’s pretty obvious why, unless you’re not actually aware.. but I agree they can be slated in their own thread.

Whilst never a Royalist, she was clearly a great woman. Never put a foot wrong. I guess now the Commonwealth will go, Scotland will be independant and a united Ireland. The Queen held it together.

Feels very weird having a king its something of foreign lands , tv shows or back in history to us people England has always had a queen
