I thought it was said to be the 19th SeptemberWhen will they announce, when the funeral is?
Sounds feasible, as a full coronation will be very expensive and obviously that doesn't look good in the current climate.Apparently his coronation will be shorter and less ceremonial and elaborate than his mother's.
It'll be formally announced today. It's just been said it's "thought to be" on 19 September, but hasn't been officially confirmed yet.When will they announce, when the funeral is?
Charles and Camilla were at Dumfries House, which is in Ayrshire.Charles and Camilla were in Dumfries and were flown to Balmoral in the morning. They often go to Dumfries.
Edinburgh roads are a nightmare due to all the closures. I think she arrives tomorrow to Holyrood.
I got a message from a friend in police HQ at 2.50pm that the queen had passed but didn’t want to believe it until it was officially confirmedFriends at work yesterday received a msg from partner who is in police force. Police apparently received notification that HRH died at 2.47pm
and after checking with a few other friends who have similar connections this appears to be the same msg they too received.
Rumours circulating she had a stroke in the morning.
Could all be incorrect information but seems to be the same coming out of various sources.
Apparently Liz Truss was only informed at 4.30pm according to an official (not a random posting on a forum) report I read.I got a message from a friend in police HQ at 2.50pm that the queen had passed but didn’t want to believe it until it was officially confirmed
But definitely people must of been told before that like the PM etc

The hospital I work at , all outpatients close on bank hols . I can’t see them closing for the day with only a weeks notice , I suspect it may just be a case of running as normal and everyone on double payWhat do we expect to close on the bank hol (presume it’s Monday 19th).. I only work 3 days a week and I’m already off on the Friday annual leave. I’ve just started a new job so i hope we can go in.. I work for the nhs in a GP surgery. Hmmm
I was just saying this about theaters, no way will they cancel ops on such short notice. The double pay will be nice though.The hospital I work at , all outpatients close on bank hols .

I thought that about the Jubilee as well. It looked quite somber, compared to the 2012 jubilee. Like she knew it’d be her lastThinking back to her last Christmas speech where she sad she wanted Camilla to be Queen and how she has been over the last few months, it does seem likely she had some kind of inkling her time might be limited - but then that is the case for a lot of 96 year olds! I did think Charles looked vv emotional at the balcony appearance during the jubilee.
Given all the news presenters etc changed to black early afternoon I’d be surprised if she died as late as 4.30pm as even before that at least 1 BBC reporter had stated she had already died.
But the details don’t really matter. It’s still sad but I’m glad she seems to have had at least two of her children with her.
As for the Harry bashing - it’s just totally unnecessary. He was widely said to be the Queen’s favourite and he is in mourning too. He looked distraught in that picture of him in the car.
You could tell she was really taking it all in on the balcony knowing it was likely her last.I thought that about the Jubilee as well. It looked quite somber, compared to the 2012 jubilee. Like she knew it’d be her last
Read that after the pageant on the sunday no idea if true or not but she wasn't meant to come to the balcony on that sunday the trooping of the colour had taken it out of her but think Charles tried to get her to come as he thought it would be the last time she saw a crowd like that on the balcony and it was special to watch even more so now at the time i remember crying a little bit like she knew that would be the last timeYou could tell she was really taking it all in on the balcony knowing it was likely her last.
