Good morning Mick, it’s been e rainy night here in South Lanarkshire.

I’ve no plans today after a busy couple of days so I’ll stay at home and crochet some poppies.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from an overcast start in La Sarthe, reflecting the mood of most of us today.

Our Queen lived a dutiful life until the end. As for many on here, I can’t remember life without her.

Thinking of all who mourn this day. ✝️

Good Morning everyone from a sombre south Hants.

A quiet day of reflection is planned today - although at some point - I do need to get some milk etc in readiness for the DGDs tomorrow.

Thinking of those that are in pain and/or are feeling low ??
Hugs and ?? for you all x

Good morning from s somerset, dark and raining

I need to find something to occupy me today. I cannot take any more media outpourings. It is only 5 years since I grieved for my husband and a year later also for two more family members
RIP our beloved queen

Good morning all.
Yesterday was a strange day, one I’ll never forget. It’s hard to take in and there will be many of us who share this feeling of personal loss as well as mourning a great lady.
I have a mind to watch The Crown again, especially the early episodes.
Wishing you all a pleasant if thoughtful day

Good morning from a damp E Kent. It rained off and on for the last 24 hours. Finally some rain!
What a sad day for the country and RF. the Queen is dead, long live the King! I suspect The Q consort will bring the king back on track.
Did little yesterday, ditto today though mi need to do some shopping, I’m out of groceries.
Carpe diem; Carpe Horam…. ?❤️?❤️???

Good morning from a wet East Yorkshire.

I love that picture Sally

A sad day to wake up to and although we knew it was coming it seemed so quick and took me aback.

RIP our beloved Queen.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It was so wet yesterday and overnight I half expected to be floating away this morning. A truly dreich day and
I have woken with flu symptoms- coronavirus?
Not only has the Queen died but my DS & family left on the next stage of their overseas trip.
Yet nothing like that wouldn't have deterred HM so I shall carry on as she did. What a trooper!

I hope all those of you with worries and pain find some happy moments today.

Good morning from North Lancs, where it’s actually fine and warm enough to walk the dog. There’s still a feeling if unreality here. The end seemed to happen so quickly. ?

Good morning.
Off to breakfast in a while on the second day of our crafting weekend.

Thoughts with all who are sad or poorly .

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The weather matches the mood of the nation here in South Yorkshire. For the second time this year the landscape of my life has changed, and I feel the loss of both my beloved DH and my beloved Queen most keenly today. We both took the armed forces oath to “be faithful and bear true allegiance……” to her. I can’t believe she’s gone.

Morning all

It’s grey and drizzly here in S E Essex.

Should be going to the gym first thing, but not sure I want to be around people. Hairdressers this afternoon.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II

Sunny here in Mallorca, we are picking up the news via the Internet, sad news and although expected it seemed to be

Another slothful day as it’s pretty hot here.

Hope all have a good day.

Sudden!

Good morning from a damp Essex by the sea.
A very restless night.
RIP Queen Elizabeth x

Good Morning Mick and everyone today.
A very grey morning foggy start to the day.
We have had a couple of upsetting days with grandson back at school and yesterdays news just topped it all off.

RIP our lovely queen. Feel broken-hearted today.
Love to you all x

It feels odd to feel so sad about our Queen dieing. But she has always been there in my life. For all the members of my family who have died she has always been there. Glad she managed to reach her jubilee. She looked so sad and alone at Philip's funeral just like any widow and think that was the start of her decline in health and zest for life. She lost half of herself the moment he took his last breath. And now the nation has lost a much loved monarch . RIP madam ?

Good morning from a damp NE.
DS and I spent the afternoon watching Shetland then had an early dinner, when we returned to the lounge the Queen had died. A sad day I will not forget as it was also GD's birthday. I feel really old as I can remember King George too.
Housework today to prepare for family gathering tomorrow.

Good morning everyone from a grey and wet Inverness
A sad day today thinking about the Queen who has always been there in the background.
Take care all whatever the day brings ?
