A continuation for those that want to share their respectful feelings and thoughts

I thought it was odd that the BBC showed the flag at Buckingham Palace at half mast BEFORE Huw Edwards made the announcement!

EdieLedwell · 08/09/2022 18:48

Huw and Nick are doing such an amazing job.

QuebecBagnet · 08/09/2022 18:48

Big crowds outside the Palace.

There's a rainbow over Windsor Castle. Think that's just tipped me over the edge 😪

Apparently there was a double one over Buckingham Palace earlier as well. It's like even the weather wants to mark her death.

Amazing woman, no matter what one thinks of the rest of the family.

That rainbow!

Why are people flocking to BP? Genuinely interested? To see the notice? To be part of something?

Bit of both, it's natural to want to share the moment with others.

Lampzade · 08/09/2022 18:49

People were having a go at me when I mentioned the black banner on the bbc website .
I knew she was gone

Gawking. The Princess Di effect. Loads of people taking social media photos of the notice.

I was the same - I hope it's not disrespectful, but I thought that's almost 10 decades of dogs and horses waiting to greet her.

What a strange and solemn evening.

Blossomtoes · 08/09/2022 18:49

That rainbow made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Beautiful.

'Bit of both, it's natural to want to share the moment with others.'

I guess so, yes. Maybe if you were local /nearby anyway it would be what you did. Hopefully it will be died down Sunday I have to walk past.

Vapeyvapevape · 08/09/2022 18:50

A moment in history for sure 🥲

baconbuttieswithsauce · 08/09/2022 17:28

I'm with you. I really hope the BBC gets a flood of complaints about the newsreader who said that the Queens death / health is more significant than the cost of living crisis Angry

Relieved to not have a TV licence right now.

mateysmum · 08/09/2022 18:51

The Queen too has passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I reckon the corgis laid it on for her!

Tierne · 08/09/2022 18:51

Strange to think I will never have a queen again

FetlocksBlowingInTheWind · 08/09/2022 18:51

@Emotionalsupportviper

There's a lovely song by the Divine Comedy about that.

I think the Queen would have agreed with the sentiment. I'm your final moments all your digs and horses come to say goodbye.

Notplayingball · 08/09/2022 18:51

Sad news all the same.

YesitsBess · 08/09/2022 18:52

Huw Edwards trying to hold it together has set me right off.

FetlocksBlowingInTheWind · 08/09/2022 18:53

Dogs*

I bet she's got all her corgis with her right now!

Wouldloveanother · 08/09/2022 18:53

I’m really sad actually. I’m a lifelong republican, but it feels like yet another chapter has closed, and not in a good way. RIP.

Festoonlights · 08/09/2022 18:53

None of us woke up this morning imagining for a minute how today would end.

Our wonderful and cherished Great Queen Elizabeth II left us today.
I can scarcely believe it.
How did we go from the meeting with the new Prime Minister by the fire side to this today?
We did not know those last photos and moments would be some of her last, and the shock must be reverberating around the world.

My cousin's aunty's dog worked at the BBC in 1994 and I now have it on good authority an announcement will be made at 18.27

Alarmingly not far off.

Discwriter · 08/09/2022 18:54

I am so sad. RIP Queen Elizabeth II.

Festoonlights · 08/09/2022 18:54

I don't know if Huw is going to get through this, it is so sad to hear his beautiful voice wavering.
