Interesting they haven't posted at BBC yet: https://www.bbc.com/news Probably just a matter of time, but seems that MSN article is a little premature."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Agree, although it appears to be just a matter of time. All family seems to be coming or in place. The news earlier said she has degraded quickly. -

Heard about the family gathering this morning, kinda knew it was time. She had a good life and was respected by many.Yep, my name really is Bob.

The US has been a nation for (give or take) 246 years.
Good Queen Bess was Queen of England for 70 of those years.
70/246 => 28.5% of our nation's history
-
She liked to drive Land Rovers (and Range Rovers), too.
-
Queen over the Commonwealth for 70 years. Take a moment to think about the history she witnessed in her lifetime.

Class.

God took the Queen, may her soul rest in peace.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Not sure if this is true, but if so, flags will be flown at half mast in the 🇺🇸 for over a week! 😳
Alea jacta est! -
Given her remarkable solidarity shown by her towards the People or the United States after the events of 9/11, I agree that our flag should honor her passing. The flag flown over the Capitol at the time of her passing should also be gifted to King Charles III…
