@Axtremus I loved this when I first saw it. I replayed it yesterday.

I think the RCMP black armbands will appear once official mourning begins this evening.

@Doctor-Phibes said in She’s gone.:

As he's named 'Charles Philip Arthur George', I'm a little disappointed that he didn't go with the name 'Arthur'. There'd be a big debate whether he should be Arthur I, or Arthur II.

I reckon HerM had some illness other than old age & infirmity, probably diagnosed last year when she went to hospital for a couple of days. Didn't seem to be a cancer death so I'm guessing organ failure at her age. It'll come out eventually, along with Philip's philanderings, her initial rejection of Camilla as unacceptible which led to the whole Diana thing, and other bits of muck swept under the red carpet, if any of it is true. Public love that stuff.

For me, She was an amazing person over the decades, tolerant and phlegmatic, serene in an ever more volatile world. Never even met her yet was tearing up like my own mother had died when Huw Edwards annouced it.

It's been three days, and the world still feels weird and alternate-universey.

My feelings about her death have not changed in the past three days, either.

From Parade: Queen Elizabeth II's Funeral Date, Location, and Burial Information
Get all the details on Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.

"Because Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral in Scotland, she will lie in state at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh before her funeral service at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland. On Sept. 13, her coffin will be flown back to London, where a state funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey prior to her committal at St. George's Chapel in Windsor."

They're burying her on my birthday

Talk about anti-climactic.

[Renauda]

According to my late father, his parents, born born and raised in England, would refer to the sudden passing of elderly people that “they died from shortness of breath”.

Seems that Elizabeth II did just that.

What has 13 hearts but no other organs?

A deck of cards.

Are those the Crown Jewels she's wearing, I wonder?

Nah, never mind. What else would they be?
