When the Queen died?

I was stirring dinner and dd was laying the table. I suspect a lot of us were cooking dinner. A moment we'll always remember.

RIP Your majesty.

At the gym

NuffSaidSam · 08/09/2022 19:24

I was on the bus, crawling along in heavy traffic on my way home from work when I found out. Not sure what I was doing when she actually died.

Well during the announcement, staring at the telly because it was imminent. But not sure where I was when she actually passed away.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 08/09/2022 19:24

Watching OITNB and scrolling MN for news of the Queen.

Dragonskin · 08/09/2022 19:24

We turned the tv on just after 6.30 and said 'why is the news on when it says Hollyoaks' just to clock the black dress

Xiaoxiong · 08/09/2022 19:24

Didn't it happen this afternoon? In which case I was at work.

xsquared · 08/09/2022 19:25

Just finished dinner. DH and DD a out to go out to Scouts.

Flopped on a hotel bed in an air conditioned room after a busy day at the beach (Canary Islands).

Adventurine · 08/09/2022 19:25

When she actually died? Probably at work. When it was announced, I was curled up on my sofa waiting for fish and chips

You know what OP means, don't be so facetious.

O11 · 08/09/2022 19:26

Depends when she died really

HaveANiceFuckingDay · 08/09/2022 19:26

With a glass of wine watching Huw on BBC News which I'd been watching since 4.30pm , I put my hand on my heart when they announced her death and played the National Anthem

Notjusta · 08/09/2022 19:26

I only half heard the announcement as I was in the car listening to BBC covered through my phone and lost coverage 🤦‍♀️ But I suspect when she actually died I was at my desk at home.

minou123 · 08/09/2022 19:26

When it was announced - sitting on the sofa watching the live news, as I was expecting it.

When she actually died - not sure, as we don't know when it happened. But presuming it was this afternoon, I was working on a report for work.
