Does anyone know if there’s a special ceremony for the Queen? Haven’t seen any press coverage since her death

[ElectedOnThursday]

News outlets seem to be very quiet.

Ive been looking and looking but cant find anything

Has she died?! Oh my goodness, I did not know.

You'd think it would be on the news wouldn't you?!

😄

What frustrates me is Parliament extended their long summer break into a period of mourning. They need to get on with sorting out the country!

Ask Phil and Holly. Due to the lack of coverage they will probably be on the case. What with them being serious broadcasters and that.

I heard on the grapevine from somebody that knows somebody that they have gone for a low key affair. Just the nearest and dearest.

My sister's best friend's dog walker's uncle's cousin is actually really high up in the local council and apparently he said that her funeral will definitely take place before the end of the month. They had a top secret briefing about it.

😂

I'm far away in Aus, so that might be why I've heard nothing? What have I missed?!

Gosh it sure is being kept under wraps, such a discreet family.

Maybe I am mistaken but I thought I read that her health plummeted after meeting Liz Truss

Yes THIS!

Apparently there are people queuing for 5 miles to see her coffin, but I can’t believe that and surely someone would have said something.

Who is Phil and Holly 🤔

I think you are mistaken. Apparently Nandos have a special on their half chicken. It's very popular.

The thing is that the very tragic death of Paddington Bear has totally overshadowed all other news, including that of the death of HM.

WHAT?
DEAD?
They’ve kept that one quiet haven’t they?

Gosh I hope I haven’t started a rumour with no foundation 🙈

I wouldn't know - too busy getting ready for work and school drop off. There was nothing on BBC news earlier today, surely that means nothing's happening.

Oh!!! Has something happened to Queen Letizia/Mathilde/Silvia/Elizabeth/Sonja/
Margrethe?
I’m living in a country that has a president rather than a monarch, so have heard zilch about this😱

😂

Is this for real?! People moan about teachers. They already get 12 weeks summer break I believe. The rest of the country are still working.

Lol

Surely no one would do that

So agree.

Parliament has sat for just 6 days in the last 72 days and we have the party conference season about to start in 10 days.
We're buggered aren't we...

😂😂😂😂

Oh, I heard on the grapevine that it's gonna be big. Egg and onion sandwiches, a tea urn. The full works.

The top news headlines on every site for the last 10 days: Queen still dead, everyone sad.

I imagine the BBC meeting each morning:

'right, we need another dozen articles for tomorrow, any ideas?'

'I could interview the courgis again'.
