    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.

    New motto at MSN - Why be correct when you can be first?
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    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.

    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

    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…
