Queen Elizabeth II

Anyone think with cash being used less and less now they might just go digital rather than reprinting notes ?

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.

Crikey, that's quite astonishing.

Such a stange feeling
When you are in your 40s and all you know is the queen
From the national anthem, to stamps, money etc
The one constant person representing our country around the world and hugely admired
Won’t be the same from now on

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.

Not sure that all those changes will happen. All those countries who removed the monarch as their head of state are still in the commonwealth. As for the UK, I am not a fan of the union so Scotland may become independent for all I care. As for Ireland, a united country would be to my taste but it won’t happen unless the unionist majority wishes it.

Doubtful as the plan says funeral 10 days after death which would be Sunday 17th
