It’s like music on the radio that plays through the night when there’s nobody really listening! Very calming, quiet and well known, comforting music! Even Sara Cox is very quiet and not herselfSays on the radio 2 website the last 4 songs played were:
Never Ever - All Saints
The Riddle - Nik Kershaw
Wonderwall - Oasis
No matter what - Boyzone
Doesn't bode well
I believe it’s part of the plan to prepare the public, since just announcing it (or having it leak …) would be a pretty big shock, globally, and a massive breach of protocol. To be fair, it’s pretty impossible to hide that *something* is happening/has happened. There are so many layers of people who need to be told and various things that need to be activated across Government and those parts of the Civil Service tasked with managing what will be a national period of mourning. Tbh I’m pretty impressed with how it’s being managed.I understand that there is protocol, and it appears that “Operation Tower Bridge” has been initiated - something I’ve read about today. I wonder why the news need to have an all day event of the news, I appreciate the respect aspect of it but we’re all speculating now when she has passed. There’s going to be a lot of media coverage when she passes anyway, so I have never understood the need for it to be all day? Especially as the news reporters are essentially talking about her “getting well soon.” Is there something I don’t quite understand or have missed?
Oh is that who she is? Thanks for explaining the obvious. Jeez. I don't make it sound like a snow day, I have the utmost respect for the Queen but I do not envisage schools suddenly closing on an announcement and leaving workers in total disarray with sudden childcare issues.You make it sound like a snow day… it is the Queen. Our longest reigning monarch.
Same for my job but anyone who has a choice wouldn’t go in I’m sureNhs so no choice here.
He won’t be there for 7PM then?Do we think Harry is on this private jet?
I just took the same screenshot and was wondering the same. He might have struggled to get a plane at short notice and only be getting thereDo we think Harry is on this private jet?
Quite possibly. Hopefully he gets a helicopter to Balmoral as it's another long wait to get to see her (should she still be alive) on his account, being so much later than everyone elseDo we think Harry is on this private jet?
Someone said the latest it can be is 9pm so say Harry gets there for half 7? Maybe a half 8 announcement? Or as late as possible.He won’t be there for 7PM then?
Damn, it might be tomorrow then. I really doubt it would be at 10PM
I don’t think it’s ALL people are thinking of, but in regard to any tangible impact on people’s lives that’s the only thing really? People naturally focus on how an event might impact on their own lifeA woman is dying and all people think about is time off?
Interesting! I never really thought about it being a shock with it just coming out of nowhere. I suppose the bit that has thrown me the most is that it seems like these code words to initial protocols and what they entail seem quite public, while the news reporters most likely don’t know for certain themselves yet, but someone must have alerted them to change into black in preparation? It must be hard having to keep talking about her getting well, while wearing traditional mourning clothes.I believe it’s part of the plan to prepare the public, since just announcing it (or having it leak …) would be a pretty big shock, globally, and a massive breach of protocol.

Guess we will see by BBC scheduling. East Enders scheduled for 19:30Someone said the latest it can be is 9pm so say Harry gets there for half 7? Maybe a half 8 announcement? Or as late as possible.
It’s hard to close schools though if parents aren’t officially getting the day off - how do you arrange emergency child care for the entire countryYou make it sound like a snow day… it is the Queen. Our longest reigning monarch.
Snap I thought the sameDo we think Harry is on this private jet?
Harry's flight from Germany landed around 3pm.He won’t be there for 7PM then?
Damn, it might be tomorrow then. I really doubt it would be at 10PM
Wait, do you mean people come onto a gossip site and just MAKE SHIT UP?All the insiders with info that an announcement at 6pm were wrong, I'm shooketh!
