Off Topic The Queen

[123Daveyboy]

I wish that I'd seen and posted this yesterday . . . .

Incredibly poignant cartoon by ⁦@mortenmorland⁩ in today’s Times. If you know someone who lives alone, perhaps bereaved, for whom today may hit especially hard, perhaps give them a ring later on

Or maybe because he was at his mum's funeral...

True, very true but he seemed to have kept it together since he addressed the nation on TV.. One can only guess, I guess.

I didn't think Harry was singing. Wife said he was.

Apparently there is a quote from her acting days with her stating she can Cry from one eye

I nearly made a comment so can I but on reflection it's probably a bit too crude

Harry was singing the anthem in Westminster Abbey for sure. Not sure about Windsor. Not that it makes any difference.

How proud do these lads look, to have been asked to do this . . . . and how professional

Anyone else feel that this thread should be pinned for a little while? We've just witnessed history, lived through a time of pure unity, pride and togetherness. Moments like the lone piper walking off playing his pipes. The walk across London.I'd hate to see this thread vanish off the main page into the abyss so to speak.

Those 8 Men were the absolute definition of "For Queen and Country" They done their Queen proud while the World watched our Country.

Being honest, perhaps blunt, i don't believe any thread should be pinned. They have a natural life and fade away naturally. If they're forced, as with anything, they lose their meaning.

I personally won't watch anything about it now, Monday was it for me ...

... I'd be absolutely horrified to see one of the coffin bearers being 'interviewed' by Susanna Reid

That's a fair point and one I respect. But I feel the whole thing brought alot of people together, in some ways it was a bit of a blur. I'm not a Royalist by any means, but in a time of economic crisis, war etc it genuinely was something everyone agreed on... well, mostly. I'm not saying forever.

Me too. Muttering "don't drop her....don't drop her" under my breath

The Lady lived a long life did many wonderful things had a few heartaches on the way and is now at rest, time this thread was put too rest also. We now have a new monarch Charles III.

If you don't want to contribute to it (meaningfully) you should, perhaps, ignore it or keep comments like that above to yourself
