The Queen ‘under medical supervision’ Part 3

[Festoonlights]

A continuation from thread 2. This is a place to mourn HM Queen Elizabeth II with respect and compassion, and to share our thoughts and feelings. RIP Our Wonderful Queen.

Many of us predicted the anti-Harry and Megan scum would troll and make hateful posts. Just report them all. These 'people' have so little respect for the Queen that they will use even her death to post their ignorant toxicity. They really are so far beneath contempt and so far beneath H&M. That's the irony.

Thanks for new thread. Such a sad time.

Statement from GirlGuiding UK:

It’s with deep sadness we learnt today that our patron, Her Majesty The Queen has died. Our deepest sympathies are with the Royal Family at this very sad time.

The Queen first joined Guides at the age of 11, when she became a member of the 1st Buckingham Palace Guides. In 1953, the same year she came to the throne, she became our patron.

Throughout her life the Queen was an example of the spirit of guiding. Every day she kept her promise to do her best, live according to her beliefs, and to help people. These values are echoed in the Promise that all Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers make.

The Queen has inspired our girls and young women to help their communities across the UK and beyond. Here at Girlguiding we’ll be reflecting on our connection to the Queen over the coming days and weeks, making sure that her legacy lives on in guiding.

We know that death can be difficult to talk about and people may not know where to start. Earlier this year we worked with Child Bereavement UK to make free activities for each section, to help adults talk with girls about death. These activities are designed to help us manage conversations, discuss the emotions young people experience when someone dies, and support girls to process their feelings in a safe way. If you have any questions, please contact our volunteer support team.

We’re honoured and grateful for the support and friendship she gave to Girlguiding as our patron. We join the nation in mourning the loss of a truly inspirational Guide, the Queen.
Best wishes,

Amanda Medler
Chief Guide

Why are people so vile about Harry? It’s sickening.

Gutted, I’ve got a real soft spot for the Queen. Sleep well your Majesty. Thank you for your service.

That poem is a bit “wiv da angles now

I can just see the Queen’s face if she’d been subjected to it.

Gosh. Passports have to change.

Again.

Seconded.
A true legend x

More money? Or is it free ?
Can you still travel ?

I don't think many people like him these days.

Can I respectfully remind everyone this thread I about the Queen, the one day she died. Please start a thread if you wish to talk about other members of the Royal family

Its not my cup of tea either. But she was everybody's Queen wasn't she? The smaltzy SM people are as much her subjects as the discreet respectful factually correct mourners. They've as much entitlement to put their poems up as anyone else has to say what they feel is fitting.

you dont have to like someone to be empathetic over the fact a much loved family member has passed and maybe for once keep opinions on him personally to yourself.

Challenge if you've got young kids.

Get them to go in your kitchen cupboard and look at items until they find own with a Queen's coat of arms on.

Think about how long its going to take to switch over things.

Considering the general unofficial view is that the Queen had passed away around 3pm when all the newscasters began wearing black then William, Andrew, Edward and Sophie were not present when she passed away.

As for why he was on a separate flight, maybe he would have held them up in London and told them he’d fly up after them to stop any delays?

I think it’s possible that there was supposed to be an official announcement made at 6pm but Harry was still in the air so they made the decision to postpone it until he landed because it would have been awful to learn the news and then be stuck in a plane probably half full of press going to Balmoral.

And spells Philip wrong...

Why is it that people who hate/dislike Harry always make everything about him?

@maiafawnly I said people don't like him, not me, Chill out.

It will be when you get a new one.

But the inside cover refers to the Queen. So it will have to be changed for new issues within a relatively short period of time.

Its weird to think about, but lots of people will go to work tomorrow and will have 'Queenly' duties to think about it terms of responsibilities and changing things.

The scale of the operation of doing this, gets more and more mindblowing the more I think about it.

I will be intriguing to hear from posters who have had 'Queenly' duties to carry out during the day tomorrow.

Think about how long its going to take to switch over things

In many ways I wish they didn’t have to. I know that’s probably not how it works though.

It's possible to mourn the Queen but simultaneously note her grandchild's appalling behaviour towards her in her last years. But we're not allowed to discuss that or say anything against Harry on these forums apparently.

Anyway, apologies @Festoonlights. No more Harry chat.

It would be nice if we could just reflect on the Queen and not drag things down by badmouthing other members of the RF. They have lost their mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Let's just allow them to grieve.

Families are complex. The Royals are
But today is about the Queen.

This brought a tear to my eye

I'm involved with a couple of things where she was our patron.
