Grim Up North 3,725 Posted September 8, 2022 Just in case The Queen is reading this in her final moments I'd just like to share with you all a funny family moment that we shared with Her Majesty. We went on a trip to London and were outside Buckingham Palace sightseeing when the big black gates opened and a car drove towards us and through the gates - we were the only people around, no crowds just the 5 of us. As we casually looked in the back of the car there was The Queen herself looking out. My wife's face was one of excited bemusement and she started waving frantically - she must have looked comical because we all saw The Queen look at her and then uncontrollably chuckle to herself as if 'who the fuck else did they think would be coming out of Buck Pal in a big Daimler'. She then gave her a little wave back. This will always be a favourite memory of a moment we shared with The Queen and how we will always think of her. May your final moments be peaceful and thank you for being such a wonderful sovereign for our country. 15 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both my parents last two days after they were sedated, and I believe the queen is now under sedation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus 302 Posted September 8, 2022 When George VI died, England were playing a Test match in India. Today, they're playing South Africa at the Oval (still waiting to start, in fact). In 1952 the rest day was brought forward out of respect. Nowadays there isn't a rest day, but I suspect play would be suspended tomorrow if she goes in the next few hours. Incidentally, England lost that match to India, for the first time. One of the England players said later - "the Indians were very generous to us. They said we lost because we were all upset that the King had died." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
