DCI Frank Burnside

I agree but that said it wouldn't be as an arduous process for them to change it nowadays compared to 30/40 years ago

Piers first instinct will be to blame this on Megan

Wonder is Gibbo involved again.... https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/whatsapp-messages-somerset-military-base-3617554

Yep. Probably something to do with yet another party launch.

Imagine going to the trouble of creating a twitter account like that

John Madden former NFL Head Coach and commentator. Turns 85 in April. Will almost certainly get a BBC and Guardian Obit

Yep. A lot of people would be like that if they had the option of accommodation for the night and then moving on the next morning. Doing it all today would be 6 hour round trip

Would be such an unenforced PR error from them if it's the latter.

Would have thought the Palace would perhaps have said something by now if all was ok.

Yep. Given his recent announcement it would very surprising if Phil, Kissenger and Betty White all die before him

Only if it's occurred after a certain time of the evening.

Interesting that he wasn't given his Grandfather's name as one of them......

Perhaps not the whole country erupting but would certainly be needlessy bad PR for them all the same

The ultimate plot twist

Yep that and the fact Philip has said he doesn't want a bells and whistles ceremony. Will probably be similar enough to Margaret's ceremony

Bear in mind though that Philip doesn't want a big funeral.

Didn't go in the front entrance either

Interesting. Reporter on Sky just said that Charles didn't visit him on the previous occasions he was in hospital

Poor old Peter Sissons getting attacked by the tabloids for wearing a dark burgundy tie. It was hardly as if he wore a bright pink one ffs

Yep. If he dies after a certain time of the evening there won't be an announcement until 8am the following morning IIRC. That being said there will be undoubtedly be whispers about it before then given the technological age we now live in

Think he lost weight under some sort of new training regime. Don't think it's anything more than that

Sounds like the type of thing that could go either way. Still think even if makes 100 wouldn't be surprised if wasn't around for 101

Hmmmm. Perhaps he is a bit more unwell than is being let on. If I'm not mistaken Margaret died in Hospital so their's relatively recent precedent for a Royal passing in a hospital rather than a residence
