And with lockdown ending I guess there'll be crowds. Actually, I can see people gathering round Buckingham Palace now - would the police really threaten to arrest them on such an occasion? And good to see the DL servers have not crashed this time - they did when Thatcher died, EDIT - FFS, just noticed I didn't have him in my DDP. Still, not many points... I don't believe there will be state funeral - and if there is it will be a muted event with no state holiday. I hope I'm wrong but a day of mourning is only de rigueur when the sovereign dies.

In our modern 'woke' world everybody has a right to be offended, so it's impossible to say anything in public that isn't inane or just a platitude. I'm a white, taffy, snowflake, honkey and very proud of it! People need to grow a pair.... off to YouTube to catch up on Love Thy Neighbour..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,234 Posted April 9, 2021 2 minutes ago, TheSpinosaurus said: Yeah it's very possible the Queen will be gone soon. George HW Bush died from a broken heart only a few months after his wife Barbara died. I don't think the Queen and Philip have actually spent much time together in recent years. She'll miss him, but not that much imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,755 Posted April 9, 2021 I'm presuming there's been discussion in the past year, and particularly early this year since he went into hospital, about what the procedures will be if he dies during lockdown restrictions. I'm assuming there's a plan in place about crowds, lying in state plans, state funerals, who'll be at the funeral, how they'll get there, and so on. It'll all come out in due course.

Actually think lockdown has probably been quite nice for them: a chance to spend his final year together in a way that hasn't probably been possible for decades. There'll be some closure in that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voice of Reason 12 Posted April 9, 2021 17 minutes ago, marklv said: You are assuming the Queen will still be (1) alive or (2) not have abdicated by then. Philips' death may hasten one or both of these. I don't know about her health, but she will never abdicate, she remembers the problems her Father had after his brother walked out on us, although it's not the same thing I recon she's made a solemn vow never to abdicate, she would rather retire and make Charles a Prince Regent instead.

Father Brown 210 Posted April 9, 2021 People have to remember that HM has been expecting Philip’s death for at least 20 years by now. grieving, yes of course, but not as shocked as people might think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There'll be some closure in that. Not sure about it not being possible. He's chosen to hole up at Sandringham on his own in recent times rather than spend time with her. So you're right, she won't have those kind of regrets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
