Good morning all from a damp Glasgow, with even more rain forecast.

Mick, I hope you are feeling a bit more settled today.

A gentle day ahead, apart from getting a few essentials. My son tells me that his company have received notification, that some shops are closing in the shopping malls, they are responsible for. Very respectful indeed.
I'm actually quite shocked, given that HMI, saw Liz Truss the day before her death.
I had a lot of respect for how hard she worked and the dignified way she conducted herself in the face of her family troubles. It must have been very difficult for her.

Wishing you all a gentle and peaceful day.

Good morning from murky Leicestershire.

The weather matches my mood, I cannot believe how sad I feel at the death of our Queen.

Marydoll Fri 09-Sept-22 07:21:00

I meant to welcome Grammaretto back. Sorry to hear you are under the weather.

It’s like a new life is starting with a new monarch And a new Parliament

Good morning, another scorcher here in the South of France.
Today is our final day, we are very much looking forward to returning home tomorrow.
We were travelling from Collioure to Narbonne when we heard of the Queens death, we both feel so sad.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester.
I slept badly and everything feels weird this morning.
Loads of changes of plan here with DS (Navy) being briefed on his part in the next fortnight and DD1(Royal Mail) says her work phone almost blew up yesterday....you don't think of all the small details that trickle down and affect everyone.

I will walk into the City centre and get essentials.

Love to all, especially the Royal Family today x

Good morning all from Stockport.
I feel the world has changed today, I was 15 when HM became Queen so grew up with her reign.
She was a wonderful example to us all.
I am not and have never been a royalist but I admired her.
RIP.
It is dull here today but we have not had the rain which the south has had.
Out for a Chinese takeaway tonight and a restaurant meal tomorrow.
Seize the day, how long do we have?

What a sad day! The weather seems in tune with how most of us are feeling.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II. ?

Good morning everyone from a very wet Northumberland. It has been raining since yesterday lunchtime. We travel home to North Yorkshire today so looking forward to getting back to my own bed and a good nights sleep, it was another very early start with GD this morning. We’ve loved spending time with her though and she seems to have enjoyed it too. Feel very sad but so proud of our Queen. R.I.P.

Good morning from a dull Black Country where I stayed overnight at Mums.

Such a sad day today. I was born September 1953, so I have known no other Monarch.

I think we will have a trip out to Bridgnorth today.

Hold your loved ones close.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. It will be a strange day. The Accession Council will be at St James Palace today. Elder son, his partner and our granddaughter should be arriving this evening from London. We haven’t seen them since July as they spent the summer in Barbados. I have to sort their room out and plan the menus. It will be lovely to see them all. I wonder what my son’s partner will make of all the colourful decor which has been created since she was last here? Their place is totally white, even the curtains.

RIP The Queen.

Good morning everyone from sunny Malaga. I’ve been reading some of the eulogies about HM in the newspapers and I felt quite tearful. I think it’s just that she was ‘always there’ and is no longer. The end of an era indeed.

We have no plans today, we are happy to sit quietly, read and doubtless reflect on events.

Good morning all from a dull Black country .
Thank you all for yesterday's birthday wishes a lovely day ending on a sad note.
Meeting friends this evening.
Love to all enjoy your day and may you all find some ?.

HAZBEEN Fri 09-Sept-22 08:09:39

Good morning all!
A quiet day for me today I think. I was born 4 years after the Queen ascended the throne, she has been a constant in my life.
RIP Your Majesty.
Hugs to all.

Sorry to hear your news maddyone .

Good morning from an overcast East Midlands.
The world faces a sad day today.

"Rest easy Ma'am, your work here is done".

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
R.I.P. to a true Queen, conscientious and modest to the very end. I was surprised how emotional I felt, considering her age and frailty. My mother around the same age always took an interest in the Queen and bore a resemblance to her, so it brought back memories too.
King Charles will take some getting used to,
Thoughts to all with troubles today.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside.

My thought to all ?

GrannySomerset Fri 09-Sept-22 09:13:08

The weather this morning reflects my mood and I am surprised that. HM’s death feels like another bereavement. Happily I have friends to lunch - not seen them for three years - and this evening DD and DGD1 arrive for a couple of nights, so no time to mope. Not sure I can sympathise with the level of public emotion, though!

Nannagarra Fri 09-Sept-22 09:23:42

Good morning from cloudy Sefton where my thoughts are filled by a lady with great dignity, a keen sense of fun, who was ever dutiful even in her final days.
Sending my belated condolences to maddyone.
Carpe diem.

BlueSapphire Fri 09-Sept-22 09:23:46

Good morning everyone from an overcast Northampton.
Such sad news yesterday. I too can remember her father dying, my aunty picking me up from school and telling me the news; I was about 6 or 7.
Our rugby match was called off, so, as DD and her DH were here to pick me up and needed to eat, we went to the pub, where we raised a glass to Her late Majesty.
Had planned to go to Milton Keynes today, but will not bother now, as I am not sure whether the shops I need will be open.

RIP Your Majesty.

A sad day for all of us. feel so emotional after the news yesterday. She was a lovely lady and I always felt lived her life with dignity. Will be at work later be a quiet day though.

Good morning Mick and everyone from damp Carlisle.
What a sad evening it was yesterday, I just sat and read whilst listening to some lovely reflective music being played on Classic FM. I can't believe how sad this non-royalist is but the Queen was always the unchanging bedrock of the nation, a person whose character you could admire for her devotion to duty.
Today just a day of carrying on with some admin, I've already done the ironing whilst listening to the news until I could take no more.
Have the best possible day all.

Feelingmyage55 Fri 09-Sept-22 09:41:10

Good morning.
A day of reflection here. I am going down to the church.
Long live the King.

Good morning, we re off on holiday to Norfolk and will visit Sandringham. It feels very odd to have lived in the reigns of three Monarchs. Best wishes to all.
