There will never be another like her. Hard act for Charles to follow, that’s for sure.
Regards,

Steve.

Confirmed by PM that our new monarch will be known as King Charles III. He has a very difficult person to follow.

RIP QEII

King Charles 111, God save the King.
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

I’m no Royalist, but I’m genuinely touched by her passing. I’ve been advised my my work colleague, who is also a local councillor, that she will pass through Dundee on her way to Edinburgh from Aberdeen. I’ll make sure I’m there when she passes through to pay my respects.

That is a nice gesture, I am quite upset by her passing too, more than I thought I would be :(

The Queens body could go back on the Royal train but Operation Overstudy is the plan for her being flown back to 1 of 2 RAF bases, If she does go on the Royal train I am like yourself and will be making sure I am there when it passes.

RIP Your Majesty

Isn't there something called "Operation D Day" that been pre planned leading up to her State Funeral in 10 days time, don't know much about it just read it somewhere.
I know there was a codename for when she died which was London Bridge is down but not sure about Operation D-Day but you could very well be right.

Don't know if it's just a coincidence, but C-17A ZZ177 came into Aberdeen Airport around 04:00 hrs and left a couple of hours later. Possibly bringing in the Roysl hearse and associated vehicles for the journey to Edinburgh?

On her 21st birthday, in 1947, Princess Elizabeth, heir to the throne, said this:

"I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong."

Well, her life was very long indeed, and never has a promise been more diligently and comprehensively fulfilled than that....

Bless you Ma'am....

God save the King.
