That might help cheer the Queen up a bit.

think our thoughts and prayers should be with her majesty at this time- when all is stripped to bare bones - an old lady has lost her husband of over 70 years today - bless

It'd sounded better with dance beats tbh

My thoughts are with Nicholas Witchell at this difficult time.

I doubt it is the family that have either instigated or `need this'. It is the country. It is respect. If he had been the husband of any head of state, world wide, his death would have been suitably recognised, as this is being suitably recognised right now, in countries all around the globe. If he had been the equally long-serving, well known and almost universally recognised (with respect) partner of the head of state of any country in the world, his passing would now be being marked in much the same way. Though not identical - and for different reasons - the closest illustration I can think of, for that, is the death of United States President, John Kennedy. Within minutes of the event the whole world knew, and responded with due respect. I was at a film showing, in the dining hall of my college `res' when that news came in. Everything stopped. And I was miles away on another continent, in the middle of central Africa.

A quick scan through the freeview channels the same (BBC led) message was on Dave and CBeebies of all places.

The BBC newsreader is struggling with this.

RIP The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip.

I suppose that this link will disappear shortly. Just like to say all you WP supporters and those that posted blogs on here, all the best in your new venture. A pity SL never realised what you brought to their comp.

Best of luck to him, and I hope his long-term health doesn't suffer.

Tommy Raudonikis aged 70 rest in peace https://www.nrl.com/news/2021/04/07/league-legend-tommy-raudonikis-passes-away/

What Reynolds does do though is excellent and he’s a key cog for the Souths, complementing the likes of Walker and Cook who have great running games and Mitchell as well. You need different types of halves and Reynolds and Walker just click as a pair so I wouldn’t break them up. Reynolds is the general controlling games, who else would they look to do that job? To me, Walker is the half that more often goes missing when the going gets tough
