I’m interested to know, have you got street parties and union flags everywhere like us today? Can’t move for celebration down here.

Thanks mate, just wondering if individual houses are celebrating like we are. It’s 2/5 houses covered in flags where I am. Might be a good indication of unionism across the UK today.

If I'm honest, no. There are pockets but nothing like England. Its a shame because she is a remarkable lady who has done a remarkable job. Recent polls up here put support for the monarchy at less than 50%.

I watched yesterday with some sadness as I don't think we will see the like again. I reflected on the values she epitomised throughout her life and wondered what has brought us as a nation to what we are at present. Confused. Directionless and seemingly hell bent on tearing ourselves apart because nobody can be arsed seriously addressing the things that are wrong. Or maybe i'm just a miserable foc.

My advice is don’t let it get you down and focus on your immediates whatever happens mate. I worry about my family and couldn’t care less for any of the politicians who couldn’t care less about me either.

At least some are celebrating her, if there’s anything wrong with British politics then she’s not it. A younger Liz would have been a far better PM than the likes of Bozo.

Liked her sky blue frock.

Selective pictures, there's a lot going on around here.

Define a lot? There is no way there was anywhere near the rush to bunting down south. I was in Haddington for lunch on the Saturday and overheard one table bemoaning they saw nothing. I work in Edinburgh and didn’t see a thing. I heard the toffs in Morningside had a couple, but they are mostly English. It was a sodden squib up here.

BBC Scotland have started their Unionist pish already. They are nothing but a propaganda channel.

Yep, I’m in East Lothian and there was absolutely sod all happening here, kids were even in school on the Thursday (I got the day off, it was ace).

Nearest we got was the primary school saying kids could wear their own clothes and could have a picnic instead of eating in the dinner hall if they wanted. Not many did.

I wouldn’t say it was hostility just a complete lack of being arsed around here. The local town gala is a thousand times more important, the royal family have no traction or identity here except being posh twats we never see and make no difference at all to our existence.
