Gerrumonside ref Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Personally I want a republic, but I understand it is a sad day for many, beyond her actual family. Personally I found the afternoon media coverage borderline ghoulish prior to the announcement of her passing, she was still alive! We should honour her and pay our respects with a state funeral. The debate about the monarchy as an institution is for another time. RIP Queen Elizabeth II 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The St Paul's service has been very moving. I thought Prince/King Charles has stood up really well. He was meeting people today and gave a very comforting speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunbar Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It is day's like today when I feel the most affinity for the Royal Family. Normally, they are an abstract entity that lives far on the periphery my life. But today, when Charles has to address the nation the day after his mother has died- or when the young prince's William and Harry were cruelly forced to walk behind their mother's hearse - I see them as humans having to cope with their grief but in the most difficult of circumstances. Today, my thoughts are with the family of Queen Elizabeth II. 3 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

This was my thought because if she was just very unwell she could have pulled through, it could've gone on for a few days and we could even potentially be in this situation a few times over and over again.

During the afternoon on the BBC when they reporting that the Queen was under medical supervision everyone was in black even then, so they must have known how serious it was even then though they had to wait for the official statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was very surreal all afternoon. I was watching the horse racing, yet there was no mention of the Queen's illness. Usually everyone would have been giving their best wishes.

Maximus Decimus Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Responses to the Queen's death have interesting in my experience: Real-life: people saying 'awww' a lot and generally saying they were sadder than they thought they'd have been. Facebook: very similar with a lot of people posting something soppy about the Queen and Prince Philip. Twitter: people making out like the Queen is basically worse than Hitler, the UK is like North Korea, people of x group shouldn't be sad because of x and subsequent outrage back and forth over reactions. 1 A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

I think as a game we have paid a proper and respectful tribute. The minutes' silences, the national anthem, the respect and eulogies from the presenters have been excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
