Queen Elizabeth II

With all due respect, that doesn't mean a thing and won't change a thing. As if the country won't carry on being a mess, just with more bunting everywhere for ages.

Just ignore it then...

Sounds as though they're preparing for the end. 96 is an incredible innings, we will be a lesser country without her.

The scousers will inevitably use the number in some way to make it about them.

It'll probably not be as long or nauseating as the Liverpool quadruple that never was last year tbh.

Will the Liverpool Echo turn the royal expiration into a good news story?

I'm convinced she's been waiting for Boris to fuck off first.

I have some semblance of respect for her, her reign can be commended. But she was very much one of a kind. The rest of her family are detestable; a monarchy should not be accommodated into any modern society/democracy. I mean for Christ's sake we're talking about families being pushed into fuel poverty this winter. Can nobody see how distasteful that dichotomy is?

I won't be shedding any tears, and in my opinion anyone that does needs to seriously realign their outlook.

This doesn't align at all with the sentiment of the rest of the country. She's been a fantastic public servant, the longest serving monarch in history. If it's true that it seems like she's in her last days then it will be an exceptionally sad event. Please don't confuse the crap that is happening in politics with the royal family.

Whether we should have a royal family or not or whether their family are good people or not is completely irrelevant to us losing such an massively influential person. She is probably the most admired and well known figurehead globally so it's going to be a tremendous loss for the world and not just us.

Fair enough. It’s going to happen though, whether you like it or not.

Just one boundary short of a ton..................

She needs a little snick through the slips for 4

Even as a republican I can't argue with that. Our last great stateswoman.

same for me - I am a lefty but the Queen has been a constant throughout my life so whilst I cannot respect her position and that of her family I have great respect for the woman and what she has done throughout her life

How the death of her majesty resurrects Liverpool title dreams.

Is there ever a thread without the usual arseholes making it all about them.
