RiP Queen Elizabeth II

[scientificred]

RiP Queen Elizabeth II.
What a great innings!

[redebreck]

Extremely dignified, in these days of z-list "personalities".
I don't think the monarchy will be the same now she's gone.
Utmost respect for a great lady, sad she is gone.

[southernboy]

The end of a golden era, no doubt about that. She's been the monarch all of my 60 years; that's some achievement.

Things won't be the same. She was generally loved around the world and I don't get the impression that people will feel the same about Charles.

[teesred]

I genuinely felt sad, she just seemed like a really nice person. Like my Grandparents, from a generation of decent,hardworking people who just "got on with it". The post war generation.

It won't be Charles for long. I suspect after the funeral, and before the Coronation, he'll make a speech about the country needing a young, modern King etc, and that William is ready to step up and be the King for a generation.

[Daffydd]

It's a bit scary to think that most of us have never known a time without the Queen. We are used to a new prime minister every few years but this adds to the sense of uncertainty as we enter what could be very dark times. God save us all.

Not so sure, William has taken over Duchy of Cornwall and Prince of Wales, there's lots of associated red tape to get through. To say nothing of changing the banknotes and stamps!

Admired and Loved, a one of a kind life story.

I remember my younger brother waking up the house as cartoon network was broken when Diana died. Just the breaking news taper running on the screen.

I was in Dublin when the Queen visited Ireland for the first time, crazy security measures put in place. Manholes sealed shut, soldiers all over the motorway, helicopters used to drown out a few hundred protestors as she visited the garden of remembrance, streets cordoned tight to the wall and black clad fellas with see through ear pieces everywhere. The city centre felt like a prison in a major lockdown with fencing everywhere.
Overall the visit and subsequent trip up north deemed a right jolly success.

As an individual she seemed to embody an older Britain, a more refined and stiff upper lipped nature.
Whilst presiding over a very new look Britian and an end of empire. An act of class to most with a public service life unheralded previously. A busy queen bee.

Obviously scandals arouse around the monarchy, marriage breakdowns & affairs, Diana tragedy/conspiracy, friends of Saville and Epstein.

I've given the above song as a farewell song.
Bizarrely at a time where controversial songs are pro-monarchy songs more widely

"Orchestral versions of Rule, Britannia! and Land Of Hope And Glory will be performed at the Last Night Of The Proms, the BBC has confirmed.

It had been reported the songs could be dropped over concerns of associations with colonialism and slavery.

The pieces are usually sung but will be performed without lyrics this year, although they are expected to be back in full when the pandemic is over.

The concert is due to take place on 12 September but without an audience."

Royal family seems a bit of a shambles at the moment.
Charles/Diana/Camilla.
Prince Andrew.
Princess Anne - divorced/remarried.
Harry and Meghan.
William and Kate seem to be the only stable ones, for now.

Does it make me a bad person if i'm not overly bothered? I Won't share my opinion on here incase I offend a certain someone for having a different opinion.

Times have changed, they should stop the monachry now in tribute.

Everyone dies, she was 96 noone can live forever, i personally can't feel much for someone i've never interacted with, whoever that may be, queen was just another lady who was famous to me, I don't buy into the whole "royalty" stuff.

This is exactly how I felt.

I couldnt give toss about any of the others and I'm certainly not a royalist but she always came across as being reasonably down to earth (considering).

Don't mind people having different opinions - the world be boring as f ck if everyone thought the same!
My attitude is that Queen Elizabeth 2nd has possibly been good for the UK. The monarchy attracts tourism, and money, to the UK. The monarch might also be good for international trade - they travel all over the world and meet with other countries' business people.
You might think I'm a royalist. I'm not, I believe in Bill Shankly's socialism.
The dearly departed Queen was, in my opinion, good for the UK. As for the new batch, they have a hell of a lot to live up to. I'm not sure they are capable of doing any good. Only time will tell, but they are imho in a mess.

[Daffydd]

Sad or scary, these are just different reactions to a sense of loss depending on whether you look back at what was or look forward into the uncertain times we face. A third reaction could be to detach and just not care as a coping mechanism.

For me, I didn't feel sad but this news added to a sense of uncertainty. Not because I'm a royalist (I'm not) but because we are living in unstable times and this country is going through a lot of changes. Some people love change and say bring it on, sometimes I'm like that too but right now, not so much. But don't worry, I'll be okay.

[ianlfc]

I think the William one seems a decent fella.

[scientificred]

I have been amazed by the performance and organisation of all including the general public and police and armed firces let alone the senior dignitaries who have taken part in so many events over the past few days nationwide. These circumstances have not been able to have had any public practice and probably very little private practice on any major scale.
And all televised too!
Something that the UK seems to excel in!
And more to come.
I remember vaguely Churchill's state funeral but the Queen's funeral will undoubtedly surpass even that grandeur!

[scientificred]

More than 2.5 billion people comprise the commonwealth, 1/3 of the world population, with over half of them being under 30. An extraordinary legacy!

[ianlfc]

I think the death of the queen will get people looking at the likes of Charles and thinking, yes you've had a privileged life but would I really want that life having everything played out in front of Billions ?

My thinking is that King Charles has conducted himself most admirably.
He has had no chance to mourn the death of his mother.
For myself, and probably many others, it is something we never quite get over.

Tuesday the Queen accepted Boris's resignation as pm and invited Liz Truss to be the new pm with a great smile.
Thursday she died.
Amazing secret planning , if any, for the public ritual spectacles (and speeches) I am beholding !

[justme]

I love history programmes and stuff like that. And I'm not a royalist at all. But to me the queen was a decent human being, and she gave up 70 years of her life for her country, which should be admired.

Not sure I understand.

I understand the fear around rising energy costs, inflation, and recession. The choice of heating or eating - is far too real for many people. The dependency on food banks across the country. The future looks bleak.

The part that doesn't resonate with me is how the death of the Queen adds to this uncertainty and fear. I get how people can be sad about her death, whether they are a royalist or not. I don't get how this adds to the fear or uncertainry. I may have got the wrong end of the stick with what you're trying say.

The cost of living crisis belongs to the smaller picture, it is a daily day-to-day concern, in sharp focus, constant 24/7. If you pan out to the big picture you see how we are governed, which doesn't affect us day to day in the same way as our immediate needs for food/fuel/shelter but it does affect our lives overall, long term. After all how we are governed is the cause of the crisis in the first place. It is not the death of the Queen in itself that adds to uncertainty but the question of 'what happens next?', what it means for the country, and how it will affect government, the big picture etc.

A new prime minister and a new monarch may not be a big deal, certainly not if you are worrying about basic food or shelter, but perhaps it should be. If you think that the Queen was just a little old lady who lived in a castle with no influence then it's nothing to worry about but we may find that she was more influential than that.

How will her dying in Scotland affect Sturgeon's drive for Scottish independence? What position is Mark Drakeford angling for in Wales as he tries to shape William's coronation? You may be English and struggling day to day and say you don't care, fair enough, but these are bigger picture issues that could affect us all long term.

Prince Andrew: he's Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise

[scientificred]

Seen on TV at 4:30 this morning the armed forces guys complete with band practicing for tomorrow. Quite a rarity to see. It was still dark! Their attention to detail amazes me. I am not sure any other country can compete with this.
The whole shebang has been like preparing for the Olympics but at a moment's notice.
Sure there will not be a foot out of place tomorrow!

[scientificred]

Just watched the plane take off from Edinburgh airport.
Quite a send off.
She is called Elisabeth Queen of Scots up there.
So romantic for me.
Not Elisabeth II because Elisabeth I was never Queen of Scotland.

I'm sure the Canadian RCMP officers who led the funeral on horseback (as requested by the Queen) will remember their part and honour in history for the rest of their lives.
Although there were dignitaries from all over the world Canada sent a large contingent,possibly because the Queen visited Canada 22 times during her long reign.

May she Rest in Peace !

No important than me and you, we didn't get born into the "royal" family that's the difference and not rich as fuck.

Everyone is the same, we are all human, we are important as each other, in the end we all end up dead and in a distant memory, a small tiny tiny tiny tiny part in a very big universe.

Do one.

Did she ever talk to you? ever change your life? so stop acting like it's a close relation u wetwipe

No she was just a figurehead, in a Old system that shouldn't be around anymore.

"Oh but look how much she did with people, tourists and everything else etc etc" that was her job- and she was bloody well off and loved for it, and very looked after, very lucky lady.

Plenty of people out there that don't get any praise they deserve that do ALOT for people, I don't buy it sorry.

This a forum, and I shall put my opinion hate it or love it, I can say what I want to a extent.

P.S the funeral was lovely, nice to see buildings are incredible, and the music was great, none of us will ever see a funeral like that because we don't have millions and millions and millions to spend, that I know of, or family so it was nice to see in that regards I guess.

Imo people are lucky into what family they get born into and circumstances, I can't complain i've never been to a food bank or needing to beg, or Live in a 3rd world country with war and nothing, but that's the only difference we are all HUMAN same with everything, who your parents are / where your born your life is already mostly shaped, with genetics etc and how you look too,(some people do manage to get out of the shithole they was born into) but they have a huge fight and can take a long time, something we don't have to spend our lives doing, we're blessed.

same queen that spent millions defending "Prince andrew" for sexual abuse, also shows off the inequality of this country, all that money.. ever spent on helping poor people in this country? that have very tough lives???? So rich it's a joke, so much money spent on funeral- and probably her fucking bed at home and everything else with it.

probably see a few more funerals in the next 10 years, I don't think King charles should be king, yes he is by right blabla, but not enough time to have much of a impact, if I had my way it would end with the queen, the best tribute.

The world would be a better place, if people didn't think they're all high almighty and better than everyone else, like I said we are all human, that chav in the street that walks past you, is no different to you, and probably a "chav" due to the parents, or a bad crowd he got pulled into, in school. (not all chavs are bad) noone was ever born "bad" - mainly down to circumstances, addictions and the likes as posted above about what circumstances you're born into.

I for one, have as much time for rich snobby people, as i do for "chavs"

"commonwealth" makes me laugh too, like the commonwealth games "Friendly games it's nickname"

Are people forgetting the slavery and horrible acts that went on?? Disgusting, this country was as bad as russia, if not worse, actually probably a lot worse. proud of barbados and other countries going independent

Long Live the people, one of the most ignorant countries in the world it must be we seem to forget and the media about all the bad things or history, and focus on every other countries bad points and history instead, because we are perfecet!

Thanks for your service queen and everything you did good- but it now should rest with you.

Hard to see us ditching the royal family any time soon.

I didn't see anyone stand up to challenge Charles for the crown last week, we don't do bloody revolution so I guess the monarchy will last until the bloodline dries up...

Meanwhile the distraction is over and we've all got other shit to worry about now.

I'm not all that fussed eitherway to be honest, it doesn't effect my life just think they're very lucky, and now with the queen passing, I don't think it's needed or will ever have the same "pull" in this country or world-wide. think she was last of the era in all honesty.

but I'm not going to pretend to really care and be in "mourning" for someone i've never met or spoke with, I'd never be important enough for that! - I'd be much more sad if someone on here for example passed (Shame we probably won't know if someone has I.E Rednoodle)because at least i've interacted with people on here, even if i've never met them, some people for years (I feel sorry for them lol)

Always makes me laugh with the complete "royalists" fanclub though, they think the royals are imore important than themselves(they don't give a shit about you), the most important person in the world is always yourself, followed by any family, people forget this and get a bit "lost" in life by putting everyone and everything before themselves.

Agree with your sentiments, well written.
Unfortunately these days it all seems to come down to money - the Haves and the Have-nots.
Money is the reason for the disgusting increases in the price of fuel and energy, which is quite possibly going to bankrupt people and cause deaths among the poorest in our society.
Can't see things changing much any time soon, unless we follow up the French and have a revolution.

Everyone is the same, we are all human, we are important as each other, in the end we all end up dead and in a distant memory, a small tiny tiny tiny tiny part in a very big universe.

Do one.

Did she ever talk to you? ever change your life? so stop acting like it's a close relation u wetwipe

No she was just a figurehead, in a Old system that shouldn't be around anymore.

"Oh but look how much she did with people, tourists and everything else etc etc" that was her job- and she was bloody well off and loved for it, and very looked after, very lucky lady.

Plenty of people out there that don't get any praise they deserve that do ALOT for people, I don't buy it sorry.

This a forum, and I shall put my opinion hate it or love it, I can say what I want to a extent.

P.S the funeral was lovely, nice to see buildings are incredible, and the music was great, none of us will ever see a funeral like that because we don't have millions and millions and millions to spend, that I know of, or family so it was nice to see in that regards I guess.

Imo people are lucky into what family they get born into and circumstances, I can't complain i've never been to a food bank or needing to beg, or Live in a 3rd world country with war and nothing, but that's the only difference we are all HUMAN same with everything, who your parents are / where your born your life is already mostly shaped, with genetics etc and how you look too,(some people do manage to get out of the shithole they was born into) but they have a huge fight and can take a long time, something we don't have to spend our lives doing, we're blessed.

same queen that spent millions defending "Prince andrew" for sexual abuse, also shows off the inequality of this country, all that money.. ever spent on helping poor people in this country? that have very tough lives???? So rich it's a joke, so much money spent on funeral- and probably her fucking bed at home and everything else with it.

probably see a few more funerals in the next 10 years, I don't think King charles should be king, yes he is by right blabla, but not enough time to have much of a impact, if I had my way it would end with the queen, the best tribute.

The world would be a better place, if people didn't think they're all high almighty and better than everyone else, like I said we are all human, that chav in the street that walks past you, is no different to you, and probably a "chav" due to the parents, or a bad crowd he got pulled into, in school. (not all chavs are bad) noone was ever born "bad" - mainly down to circumstances, addictions and the likes as posted above about what circumstances you're born into.

I for one, have as much time for rich snobby people, as i do for "chavs"

"commonwealth" makes me laugh too, like the commonwealth games "Friendly games it's nickname"

Are people forgetting the slavery and horrible acts that went on?? Disgusting, this country was as bad as russia, if not worse, actually probably a lot worse. proud of barbados and other countries going independent

Long Live the people, one of the most ignorant countries in the world it must be we seem to forget and the media about all the bad things or history, and focus on every other countries bad points and history instead, because we are perfecet!

Thanks for your service queen and everything you did good- but it now should rest with you.

Then let's see what people are prepared to say!
Disrespectful on this thread!

You're obviously a dedicated royalist red...I'm not...I liked the Queen but not any of the others...If you don't like that and the fact there are millions who don't or aren't fussed....TOUGH SHIT!!...:sulkiness:

I thought kev made a well constructed post but which did not belong on this particular thread.
Very few viewers on this thread.
This is an RIP thread.
A new thread e.g. anti monarchy thread would have perhaps got a bigger viewing to justify his efforts!
