It sounds worrying, doesn’t it?

Just popping up from behind the sofa to say I felt Theresa May was brutally treated by many in her own part. I always thought she was decent, hard working an honest. It’s good to see her confident again

I agree.

I'm a Theresa fan too.

I agree Iam.

Sorry if anyone has already quoted this, as I haven’t read all the contributions on this thread, but a lady on BBC, a member of the public, just said “the Queen was stable in an unstable world”. I thought that summed the Queen up perfectly!

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 10-Sept-22 09:24:29

She was very surprising wasn’t she! And lightened the atmosphere.

I didn’t realise Theresa May had such great comic timing.

She should be a guest host on HIGNFY!

Yes thank you Grannydarkhair we've just watched it and it was brilliant, the best by far.

Just saw part of the tribute by Theresa May about the Queen ... so funny ... we need to see all aspects of her life ... grief is different for everyone ... if you want to cry ... cry ... if you want to laugh ... laugh ... happy, funny or sad whatever the memory, means so much to different people ... each one a lasting memory ... RIP your Majesty now reunited with her beloved Philip ... God bless

Grannydarkhair Thank you so much for posting that link to Theresa May's speech. It was excellent .... she did well.

Calendargirl I read a ridiculous post on Reddit earlier, declaring it most irresponsible of whoever it was who gave the Queen her most recent dogs.
As if the poor woofers were being bundled off to the Aberdeenshire RSPCA dog shelter…

Grannydarkhair I heard Mrs May’s speech for the first time last night. Yes, it was marvellous and her delivery was perfect.
I love Theresa May.
I do wish that she was our PM, if we must have a Tory government

I can’t stop worrying about the Queens dogs. I hope they won’t be pining for her. I wonder who will look after them. ?

I know what you mean, but of all the dogs that have been left without their owner due to bereavement, I think those of the Queen will be well taken care of.

Thank you Aveline a lovely picture. I think that is Billy carrying the first two. Such lovely dogs.

Aveline Fri 09-Sept-22 21:59:07

Further to my previous post.

This is Theresa May’s tribute to the Queen, and is imo, the best of all the tributes given by MPs, etc.

Why on Earth do you feel you should be anti-Royal? I do not understand this? Why? Why be "anti" anything especially "Royal". Stand up for your convictions!!! The British Royal Family has served this UK, the Commonweath and the entire World well and selflessly! I honour the Queen and salute King Charles III. God Save The King!

So very sad to hear the news.
Rest in Peace your Majesty.
'Well done thou good and faithful servant.'

God save the King

I'm so glad someone else has thought of this quote!

I’m so sad like many only monarch I know and actually met her more than once such a gracious lady

This is Keir Starmer's speech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq_PwZwxlfk

Excellent

Susieq62 Fri 09-Sept-22 17:57:20

I am no royalist but I feel that a very important person in my life has gone! She was always there as a rock and a guiding hand with a sensible, intelligent head and a huge sense of humour ! What a year this is !
Our Queen will be missed by us all

craftynan Fri 09-Sept-22 17:43:18

Maddyone, my sincere condolences to you and your family. My condolences also to the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of our beloved Queen. Like many others I have never known anything else having been born in the late 1950’s. Poor Charles has not only lost his much loved mother but now, at the age of 73, when most people have retired, is our country’s monarch. I think the best tribute we can give his mother is to give him our support.

R.I.P Queen Elizabeth. I'm not that royalist but as many are saying, she was always there. A rock.

I wonder how the new King and Liz Truss will get on.....

Love the lonely corgi!
But what happened to that picture of the Queen and Paddington bear? I saw it once and now can't find it....

A real tearjerker Aveline
