Tradition or not, it still feels vaguely uncomfortable when we are in national mourning to be cheering and whooping like they were. My opinion at least.Tradition.

YES this, I felt so uncomfortable watching them cheer for the king and shout God Save The King - it seems so wrong and disrespectful I had to switch it off!Does anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable with the 3 cheers for the king etc? It's been less than 24 hours since his beloved "mummy" died (as he often referred to her in speeches), and it just seems a bit odd to be whooping and cheering for him.
Yes I found it so rude and uncomfortable to watch but it seems to be the norm these days people shoving phones in peoples faces rather than actually enjoying meeting them !Seeing people with their phones practically in his face made me feel very uncomfortable. I'd have wanted to lamp them to be honest. It just feels disrespectful
Can confirm this is true.The Kingmakes me feel sick he’s our King, tampon head, I just watched the video of her and Paddington bless her
I saw a tweet saying Northern Ireland were lighting fireworks, my oh family members from Belfast are coming to stay in a couple weeks I’ll be interested to see what they say about it
There also people leaving flowers at Hillsborough Castle today.I saw a tweet saying Northern Ireland were lighting fireworks, my oh family members from Belfast are coming to stay in a couple weeks I’ll be interested to see what they say about it
Idk but I wouldn't think so as they're of a different generation to the queen and not so closely tied to the previous traditions and protocols.Will Camilla need to start being a couple of steps behind Charles
That's a bit silly, isn't it - the queen wasn't exactly without flaws but surely her death doesn't change what's at the core of many conflicts, the monarchy... So even if you're an outspoken anti-royalist, what's there to celebrate, exactly?I saw a tweet saying Northern Ireland were lighting fireworks, my oh family members from Belfast are coming to stay in a couple weeks I’ll be interested to see what they say about it
Are those people arch royalists? I'm guessing so, but just wondered.YES this, I felt so uncomfortable watching them cheer for the king and shout God Save The King - it seems so wrong and disrespectful I had to switch it off!
I knew I shouldn't have browsed reddit today.
bleeping hell. People just can't be decent for a single day, can they?
It's a deep rooted history in NI, and a hatred of the monarchy is still very strong.That's a bit silly, isn't it - the queen wasn't exactly without flaws but surely her death doesn't change what's at the core of many conflicts, the monarchy...
Yes, but the monarchy is still going strong.It's a deep rooted history in NI, and a hatred of the monarchy is still very strong.
I mean they’re not quite celebrating a death of a hated terrorist I’d agree and maybe the fireworks are maybe too much but the hate for Queen goes back, they massively dislike her in certain parts of Northern Ireland. Last time my partners family came down he said to me not to mention her to them (not that I would) but they will all be celebrating and have their Irish flags hung out in certain areas I’m sureThat's a bit silly, isn't it - the queen wasn't exactly without flaws but surely her death doesn't change what's at the core of many conflicts, the monarchy...

Why should nothing be said?! Jokes may be in poor taste, but surely freedom of speech is allowed.Kevin Bridges also made some “jokes” that were in poor taste at his show last night.
I don’t understand the mentality? Just say nothing if you didn’t like her!
Not in NI it seems!Yes, but the monarchy is still going strong.![]()
Exactly - it's more so what she stands for and is associated with.I mean they’re not quite celebrating a death of a hated terrorist I’d agree and maybe the fireworks are maybe too much but the hate for Queen goes back, they massively dislike her in certain parts of Northern Ireland.
