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

News outlets seem to be very quiet.

I had afternoon tea with Camilla yesterday. She never said anything??

Eastevie · 19/09/2022 08:50

Not heard a thing nor seen a single article in any paper 🤷‍♂️

Really is forced mourning with nothing open today. Ffs

Have I missed something?

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 19/09/2022 08:57

Who's the Queen? Never heard of her.

@JesusInTheCabbageVan You know, that band? Some bloke died...

I actually had no idea we had a Royal Family. Every day's a school day!

Well my (male, naturally) relative is VERY important and has a VERY important, almost vital, job, and he's been told off the record all about it. Because he's such an important man, he hears these things. But us mere common womenfolk aren't supposed to know. Only the important men, of course.

Egg and onion sandwiches is on learn Dutch Duolingo, so it must be true...

In that case... I really am an owl! 🤯

WhatWouldHopperDo · 19/09/2022 09:08

I think you might be right. I’ve just been out and EVERYTHING is shut.

I’m worried now because I’ve got washing out on the line and some of it isn’t black.

inappropriateraspberry · 19/09/2022 09:08

Why hasn't anyone told me about this? Surely it should have been on the news?

Clawdy · 19/09/2022 09:09

Just tried to drop off DS at school and it was deserted! Maybe there is something going on??

This. This kind of crap is EXACTLY how conspiracy theories start. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

DS has gone in to school as normal. The door was a bit stuck so I had to lever it open, but I'm sure that's just coincidence.

Does anyone know if Giles Brandreth is still with us? Haven't heard sight nor sound recently. 🤔

QueenofLouisiana · 19/09/2022 09:16

@donquixotedelamancha just to say, I would love to watch the corgis being interviewed. I'm certain that they would have less trite things to say than many of the humans on TV. They seem like slightly irritable little buggers and I'm sure they would be wildly indiscreet!

DutchessOfMuck · 19/09/2022 09:17

Bit early for tin hat conspiracy theories 🤪 reported this thread 😉

Falooda · 19/09/2022 09:20

Does this mean Prince Charles's elder sister, Anne, is now our Queen?

OrangePumpkinLobelia · 19/09/2022 09:23

I see your egg and onion sandwiches and raise grated cheese, grated raw garlic and mayonnaise sandwiches.

An ex used to have those. It was .. unpleasant.

No I think they’ve chose Meghan Markle, trying to update the monarchy?

We're lucky to live in such a forward thinking democracy

Who's the Queen? Never heard of her.

You know, Liz, Charlie’s dad, lives in that big house, loads of dogs always running about? Sparkly hats?

Her husband was a bit grumpy but people put up with him cos she always seemed nice.
