Images and thoughts of today

Hi WW, is this a ‘chat’ thread or is it actually N&P?
If it’s the latter, I don’t want to put my foot in it, by saying something daft, iyswim!

When I saw the title, I thought that it was about the funeral, that’s why I’m a bit confused

Whatever floats your boat?

Also puzzled. Is it connected with the Queen or not ?

Did you look at the picture ?
I think it explains

Deserted outside, if it wasn't for the helicopters it would be silent! The bridges are closed - there seems to be a very wide exclusion zone.

Even the Thames is deserted - for security reasons no doubt.

No idea.

I admit that I didn’t.
Sorry
Please ignore or forgive my stupidity ?‍♀️

My thoughts of today is with the Royal Family.
And the loss of our Queen.

I’ve asked for my stupid posts to be removed - I’m not sure if they will be due to HQ not working today.
(It’s Bruce Springsteen btw, looking exactly like Woody Allen)

Yes our road is totally quiet.

I took the dog out this morning at 7am and a respectable looking gentleman was sat on a park bench. I greeted him asking him if he was enjoying the peace, and he responded by saying “I’m having a contemplative drink to Her Majesty” and raised a bottle of beer??

I was about to say Woody Allen!

FannyC I'm stupid too. I was puzzled.
Who is with Bruce Springsteen?

Beautiful morning here in Northumberland. I got up at 6 which is unheard of for me. The weather has been very kind. We went to a village show two weeks ago and were greeted by the bagpipes being played and throughout the past 12 or so days every time I hear the bagpipes ( which is quite often ) I well up.

I took the dog a walk along Belfast Lough this morning and left a posy of sweet peas with the other floral tributes for the Queen. It was so peaceful and quiet.

If you know someone who lives alone, perhaps bereaved, for whom today may hit especially hard, perhaps give them a ring later on

I love this ?

There is a robin hopping outside the window as Rosie and I snuggle down on the sofa to watch today’s pageantry and to remember our Queen.
Loved ones are said to be near when robins appear - Paw is never far from my thoughts so perhaps that robin’s role is to reassure me he is indeed with me.

Very quiet here today, like lockdown all over again but people are choosing to stay home now.

The wreath on the Queen's coffin.

The flowers look as if they have been picked from the Queen's garden and include rosemary for remembrance and myrtle which was in her wedding bouquet.

I'm sorry, I can't post a picture
