And it's a fittingly cold and miserable evening.

Nick just made a gaff. He said on her 70th birthday earlier this year. He meant anniversary.

Poor guy in shock just like everyone else.

RedToothBrush · 08/09/2022 18:56

Statement from the King shortly.

Fuck me that sounds and feels wrong saying that.

Strange to think I will never have a queen again

Oh yeah, very unlikely in our lifetime isn't it. How wierd. It's been The Queen for my entire life. Now we have The King.

I'd rather we didn't have a monarch at all, but it's still going to be strange getting used to it. End of an era...

DH is gleeful, he's very anti-monarchy. As am I, but I respect her, she had zero choice in it and did a bloody good job. I can't think it would be a fun life, but she made it work and seemed happy enough.

RIP Queen Elizabeth

I'm also really sad. Was so proud she was our Queen ❤️

Rinoachicken · 08/09/2022 18:56

The king is going to be making a statement apparently. That’s going to take a while to get used to …king

LynneBenfield · 08/09/2022 18:56

What the fuck? He really said that about the cost of living, @baconbuttieswithsauce?

Of course it’s a big moment in British history but FFS. There have been multiple “scares” in the last couple of years, for goodness sake, she was ninety six years old, it’s not unexpected.

Waynettaaa · 08/09/2022 18:56

Apparently, Charles is going to make a statement. I can't even imagine having to do that just after losing my mum 💔

Festoonlights · 08/09/2022 18:57

I can't watch the footage of her 😭

@Emotionalsupportviper I was thinking about her sailing off into the heavens on a white yacht with Prince Philip, G&T in hand. I think a white yacht filled with all her lovely critters, as well as her beloved parents and sister, sailing over a rainbow is how I am going to think of her passing.

Indeed. I don't say it as a criticism at all. I say it to highlight just how much of a shock and how difficult it must be for Huw and Nick.

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

@YesitsBess Same! Watching him blink back the tears made me very emotional.

ohsotired2022 · 08/09/2022 18:57

RIP to a beautiful human.
Reunited with her husband, Mum & sister now. 💜

Rinoachicken · 08/09/2022 18:58

My 12yo asked me ’what happens to money? Will it not work anymore?’

ohsotired2022 · 08/09/2022 18:58

And her lovely Dad 💜

QuebecBagnet · 08/09/2022 18:58

BBC are say8ng William and Kate will now be known as the duke and duchess of Cornwall. So guess they just drop the “Cambridge” title?

EbbyEbs · 08/09/2022 18:58

Well I’m far from a royalist but DH has just shown me a picture of the queen walking away hand in hand with Paddington bear and a corgi at her heel. I’m fighting the lump in my throat 😞

EmeraldShamrock1 · 08/09/2022 18:58

RIP Queen Elizabeth.
A beautiful lady we could all learn from her dignity grace and amazing strength.

CoconutSky · 08/09/2022 18:58

Together forever now. So bloody upsetting

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.

I also saw a procession of at least 10 swans at my local river today and I had to stop and stare because I had never seen that many at once. It felt like they were there for a big reason. It would have been no more than a couple of hours before or after her death.

I know 😊

Vapeyvapevape · 08/09/2022 19:00

DH is gleeful
im lost for words , you might not like the royals but to be gleeful is just.... well

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.

That IS lovely!

One of those songs that sends chills through you - thank you for sharing it, Fetlocks

Freedomfighters · 08/09/2022 19:01

This is such sad news. ♥️😢

RedToothBrush · 08/09/2022 19:02

William, Prince of Wales...

Thats going to take some getting used to as well.
