It sounds worrying, doesn’t it?

Something took me to this music. It seemed to say Well done, Lizzie better than words: Pachelbel, Canon in D

William now being the heir, will become Prince of Wales and Kate, Princess of Wales..

No..William becomes duke of Cornwall...the title Prince of Wales may be a gift later given ...but not an entitlement

Oh maddyone- my sincere condoleances. I am so very sorry.

I keep crying and crying. My own mother just died too. I feel bereft.

Sorry to hear about your mother Maddy flowers

I never thought I could be so affected by the death of the Queen not ashamed to say I've shed quite a few tears especially seeing the most recent photographs of her. I think we are all going to miss her smiling face

ShazzaKanazza Thu 08-Sept-22 19:16:32

So so sad. RIP dear lady. I feel like I’ve lost a grandmother?

I'm mourning our queen because of her personal qualities but I think she is the last of the line worthy of the title. Monarchy is outmoded. That kind of life has no place in 21st century western civilisation. Charles is just not made of the same stuff anyway. I will never call him King or recognise him as such. I feel sorry for him as I would for any devoted son who had just lost his mother. The queen is dead, God rest her soul, long live the republic!

Having watched the tribute from Liz Truss , I am glad that she is our PM and not Johnson. She is at least a grown up politician.

Bellanonna Thu 08-Sept-22 19:11:57

Agree, Lucca

Statement from His Majesty The King at time of the Queen's Death.

Bellanonna Thu 08-Sept-22 19:09:47

I’m still in tears. RIP Elizabeth. .

God bless the queen we will never have another monarch like her. RIP.

Millie22 Thu 08-Sept-22 19:02:33

The Queen was such a special person ?

DaisyAnne Thu 08-Sept-22 19:02:28

Rory Stewart has just tweeted: All our love and all our respect for a life of such great dignity, honour and achievement.

Gossamerbeynon1945 Thu 08-Sept-22 19:02:06

The Queen has been part of my life ever since I was born. I remember watching her Coronation on a black and white TV. I was 7 years old!

No, it’s not automatic Lemsip, He will be appointed Prince of Wales at the King’s discretion.

well, I didn't make it up did I. I read it on the news just a short while ago !

The news reported it inaccurately then lemsip, here is the position.

RIP Queen Elizabeth. The country is in turmoil and you have been a stabilising and unifying force. Such dignity, such devotion to public service and such decency. What a loss for our country, to lose our Head of State at this time of uncertainty.
And - I’m not really a monarchist

Imo this isn’t the time, or the thread, for the people who persistently criticise Harry (and his wife) to be posting negatively. The RF face difficulties, just like all of us. Leave off for pity’s sake,

It is the saddest news. She's always been there. Always such a radiant smile.

MayBee70 Thu 08-Sept-22 18:54:57

I’m glad that she died in Scotland. I think that’s why she wanted to stay there.
