Queen Elizabeth II

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

She made promises about her reign when she was 25 years old. She kept those promises to the word. Duty to the nation every day. How many of us made promises when we were young and lived them every day of our lives?

An absolutely extraordinary woman.
RIP.

Great post mate wholly agree

As others have already said, I'm far from a royalist.
Yet this woman's duty to her country is above admirable. It will be so weird hearing God save the King.
R.I.P. your madge.

Anyone think Charles might abdicate and hand it to William?

No, if the monarchy stays he'll probably do at least 10 years or so.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Can anyone post the speech Boris made please

 

[Tourist since 1971]

Affected me more than I thought.
It’s sad but not a tragedy.
What is staggering is that her first prime minister and her last were born over 100 years apart.

 

[blue whippet]

He should do. Not in touch with reality that man.

Neither are the government but we are stuck with them.

Fantastic speech by Canadian PM
Justin Trudeau

Going to take this to the politics forum

I'm a royalist and God damn proud of it. Rip Queen Elizabeth 2nd. God save the king.

Amen to this.
