What will you do to mark the late Queen's 100th?

On 21st April 2026, it will be what would have been the late HMTQ's 100th birthday.

Even though she passed away nearly four years ago, I know some people still miss her.

So, will you be commemorating the day or remember your late sovereign in any way on that day? Maybe a minute or two of silence or watching some royal documentaries or attending a church service of remembrance since I've heard some churches will be doing so?

Or, have you decided not to?

It’s weird to celebrate a birthday of a dead person. Where do you draw the line? ‘Wehayyy they would have been 142 today!’

dnadiscoveryquery · 20/03/2026 09:28

Huh? Wouldn’t cross my mind.

Dontcallmescarface · 20/03/2026 09:31

I wouldn't have marked it if she was alive let alone now.

Interested in this thread?

Her memory is forever tainted my ANdrew and her role in the aftermath. Added to that her behaviour towards Diana, Charles and Camilla. She put duty first most of her life not what was right. Pay off a victim to protect the monarchy.

Nah sorry - her behaviour? Camilla is a dreadful woman, an adulteress who treated Princess Diana terribly. Charles is as bad, he also knew about Andrew's antics and said nothing until it all started to be exposed. I also believe that Charles, Camilla and Kate and William deliberately made sure that Meghan was ostracised to cover up for what Randy Andy was doing. All deflection. The timing of it is just too coincedental.

It’s working day, so what are we supposed to do? We’re at work, then going back home to do the chores

Luckyingame · 20/03/2026 09:48

Sweet FA, actually, OP.
Everyone to their own.
I'm not British, didn't mark my late Grandmother's hundreds, so why should I be obsessed about some dead old lady?
Your country is crumbling, your Government is (very unfortunately) a laughing stock for the rest of the world, even the "poorer" countries, and you worry about someone who passed away... when? Four years ago?
Sorry, odd.

Glitterbiscuits · 20/03/2026 09:48

Nothing.

Spaghettea · 20/03/2026 09:50

Nothing. That would be mental.

Like other posters I don't do anything on dead relatives birthdays (or the day they passed) so I definitely won't be doing it for QEII.

bigboykitty · 20/03/2026 09:51

😂

Dashling · 20/03/2026 09:51

I’m saving myself for George III’s 288th in June- should be a good knees up.

Howeasy · 20/03/2026 09:53

Igiveyouthemoon · 20/03/2026 08:48

Nothing, but I will be having 2 minutes silence for Henry VIII's 535th birthday in June (he'd be 535 if he'd lived which is an amazing age isnt it?!)

Edited

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Spidey66 · 20/03/2026 09:57

Nothing.

What A strange thing to suggest.

TheRuffleandthePearl · 20/03/2026 09:57

This poster who keeps popping up asking about our thoughts on the queen is so funny. Why would anyone GAF.

Er, nothing cos she dead as dodo. And she helped her paedo son. It’s really soured her memory.

nochance17 · 20/03/2026 09:58

Nothing. She’s dead. And her legacy has been somewhat tarnished. Ridiculous question.

Benshawsberries · 20/03/2026 10:11

This is the same as people posting ‘my relative would have been 125 years old today’, they’re dead they don’t have birthdays anymore

HelpMeGetThrough · 20/03/2026 10:22

One of the benefits of people being dead, you can save money not having to buy a card and putting a tenner in it.

I have a friend who wishes her dead dad a ‘happy heavenly birthday’ on FB. 🥴 I find this most odd. I’d have thought being dead is the antithesis to a happy birthday.

JustSawJohnny · 20/03/2026 10:36

Weird thing to focus on, IMO.

She's been gone a long time. No need to keep dragging it up and certainly no need to celebrate a milestone she didn't reach,

FlyingPi · 20/03/2026 00:54

Presumably you are collecting material for an article in the paper, why not just say so?

In that vein, may I say:

fuck all.

Whosthetabbynow · 20/03/2026 10:39

Quite liked the Queen but now she’s gone her birthday wouldn’t be on my radar (not that it ever was)

JetFlight · 20/03/2026 10:40

Interesting thread. I doubt many people have given this any thought.

Oblivionnnnn · 20/03/2026 10:41

Probably just be working and paying my taxes, which would be anathema really to that family.

SerendipityJane · 20/03/2026 10:43

I am sure they have been talking of nothing else at the Daily Express. Especially if they can work a Diana angle in.

GenieGenealogy · 20/03/2026 10:47

This is really weird. She is not celebrating her 100th. Why would anyone else?
