Truss was informed at 4.30pm
Tbh I’m quite glad. Not everybody wants to see tribute after tribute. Either because it’s not what they’re in to or it’s too sad. I find the whole closing down the country thing a bit mad. But perhaps that’s because she isn’t really my monarch. It’s mad the amount of people who are really affected by this, but there’s only so much sadness we can all take. I think one Channel is enough we need some relief.I’m going to say something you may not expect to come from me but I’m surprised BBC have blocked out both one and two and it’s on every other channel too. I know she was the head of state but would have thought they would still continue with some normal programs?
Yeah, sorry that’s what I mean. They have it on all the main terrestrial channels so if someone doesn’t want it they are stuck with it.Tbh I’m quite glad.

I thought Mary Lou’s was very good and neutral. I’ll stay off the rest of social media out of respect as I’m really not a fan but also won’t revel in an old woman’s death.Yeah, sorry that’s what I mean.

I’m still sitting here watching it all hours later as I do like her.
I thought Michelle o’neill’s statement was quite good. Twitter is an absolute cesspit tonight though
I'm living for it, I love the pomp.One thing I do enjoy is all the “operation this, operation that”, it’s all so dramatic and I just love it
I had to laugh at all the articles saying that in the event of the Queen’s death the PM would receive a coded phonecall declaring that “London Bridge has fallen”. Not much of a code if the whole country knows what it means but I still enjoy the dramaticsI'm living for it, I love the pomp.
Didnt they do the same with Philip?I’m going to say something you may not expect to come from me but I’m surprised BBC have blocked out both one and two and it’s on every other channel too. I know she was the head of state but would have thought they would still continue with some normal programs?
I know! And it wasn't really a surprise when the world was speculating for hours either. I think they were preparing people, imagine it came out of the blue, the NHS is already at breaking point without half the population having heart attacks.I had to laugh at all the articles saying that in the event of the Queen’s death the PM would receive a coded phonecall declaring that “London Bridge has fallen”.

Yeah I guess they couldn’t just announce her death, the “health concerns” statement and the hours of rolling news coverage was a way of easing people in I suppose. It definitely was sudden though, if it was expected all the family would’ve already been there.I know! And it wasn't really a surprise when the world was speculating for hours either.

They can’t move past this mentality, sad really to think supremacy is still a thing in peoples heads but reality tells us different.The shamrock is used a lot here isn't it? Is it not on military uniforms? Loyalists are a different kettle of fish they have the fear it's not rational and it's not what the Queen stood for. Look at how she met McGuinness, that was hard for both of them I'm sure, but it was reconciliation and forgiveness. Loyalists can't take ownership of this, good people give others the respect they deserve.
I think it’s the Queen Mum!I don't think that is Queen Elizabeth. Is it?
Piers Morgan seemed to know something on Wednesday evening. Things are going to become very unsettled here and I presume the common wealth. Also Michelle will get to give her tribute at the assembly before Jeffrey
