You’ve been spending too much time with the American tourists, on the High Street. ;-)

Holyrood. Thanks for the correction, I can’t blame American tourists though.

Eventually but not immediately.

We've never done it before coins with Queen on will continue until they wear out Royal standard in its present form won't be flown again then there's the big process of changing service uniforms it's no small task.

Elizabeth the Great

I’m a history student (a very old one or FOC on here), there’s only one English person called “the Great” and after 1200 years of Anglo monarchs…

I think Alfred The Great should now be joined by ELIZABETH THE GREAT.

The world will look back on her in centuries as being one of top 3 in British history.

Feels like a piece of British identity has been lost. She is such a important symbol of the people and the country

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.

We were still under the monarchy at the time of Victoria.
I need to revise my history but I seem to remember that her visit was reactive to the rise of the home rule movement.

QE2’s visit was reconciliatory and all about reparations of relations.

Michael D. Higgins has also issued a glowing tribute to her as Uachtaran na hEireann.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Christmas day will be all the poorer without her speech..Those petty Christmas day arguments after dinner then all coming together round the telly..
