Now I'm very much NOT in favour of the monarchy...but...the Queen has, I think, served the country very well despite what you may think about her privileged life and I was surprised at how sad I felt when I heard the news.
End of an era.

Aye. RIP your majesty.
Can't really believe it myself - as you said, complete end of an era.
God Save The King - feels very weird.

Agreed with both of the above posts and I think the Queen will be the last monarch to benefit from such respect.
RIP
Charles will be the fifth monarch to hold the throne in my lifetime.Last edited by ex_pat_magpie; 08-09-2022 at 08:25 PM.

I don’t mean to be disrespectful, it’s a genuine question that you brits can maybe answer; why does the whole country have to stop its activities as a result of the Queen’s passing? Isn’t the upcoming PL round in fact a good opportunity to honour her?

I suppose Hughie it's just simply a matter of traditional respect, albeit an old fashioned thing which is passed down through generations. Originally Posted by HughieG

Monarchy is a living museum, harmless relic with no power or authority. A tourist attraction.
No-one can possibly feel threatened by it and the Queen conducted herself impeccably throughout she'll be missed. RIP.
