Would you like me to start a new thread for you where you can debate the merits of the Queen and her family??!!

I have an idea - why don’t you start a new thread about it all instead of flooding this one which was clearly started as a thread to show respect

But yes, let’s keep this thread for tributes,
If anyone wants to discuss the rights and wrongs of our Constitutional Monarchy etc , then please start a new thread.

The OP was about her being under medical supervision and her family flying up to Balmoral, perhaps better to start a specific tribute thread or will we be deleting all the pre 1830 posts before her death was announced in this one ?

Gotta love this country……The Queen's beekeeper has to tell the bees themselves that they now have a new monarch, and that Charles is there new master! ?

Well...the bees are only behind the dolphins and the mice when it comes to running this whole thing called Earth so I think it only right and proper.

Amazing to see the level of turnout in the remote areas of Scotland as Her Majesty takes her final journey. There can be no doubt about the reverence in which she was held.

Just taken eldest swimming, we go shopping afters and the town centre market place had a big stage with the local radio hosting and big screens showing the queen's journey through Scotland..
Suspect they will be up all week

No, because that would be political and those discussions are not allowed.

Depends on your definition of “political”.
It’s certainly not a party political debate as all the major parties support the monarchy.
If your definition is wider, then we shouldn’t be discussing energy bills, the cost of living crisis, immigration etc etc etc.

Charles has long conversations with the flowers so I'm sure they will have kept the Bees updated.

Not amazing to most Scots as she was the Queen of Scots.
I loved the farmers lining up their tractors at the side of the road as a tribute.

Indeed. A direct descendant of James 1st (6th) ?

Very impressive and strange experience today. We were driving home from a family walk in Dunkeld this afternoon and the satnav re-routed us down the M90 at Perth. As we merged we joined a lead group of blue lights managing traffic flow. We were only a few minutes ahead of the Queen herself. The hard shoulders in both directions and every bridge overhead were solid with parked vehicles and people. I’ve obviously never seen anything else like it.
We enjoyed the 2 mile escort we got and exited at Bridge Of Earn to see crowds of people sprinting across roads and up junction embankments all desperate to get a view and pay respects.
We didn’t have time to find a parking spot and get out ourselves but it was lovely to witness.

I truly think it's fitting she passed in Scotland, or this part of our nation's goodbyes to her wouldn't have happened and would have all been centered on London.

So pleased that the procession up The Royal Mile was done in silence and not with applause (which I am frankly not a fan of).
Neat that much of the reason for the silence was that folks had at least one hand on their phone/camera filming it. And as much as I don't really get why you'd focus on capturing a critical moment in time rather than experiencing it...that it provided a respectful silence means I can go with the, for me curious, need many individuals seem to have.

Its a pity that the occasion is being marred by the apparent 'competition for who can show the greatest respect.
Now CentreParcs has notified guests it will shut on Monday and they must all leave their sites. I'm sure the Queen would not wish people to be treated in this cavalier way.
Why do we manage to go too far and spoil such an historic event?
