OT: To all the United Kingdom Members

[Richard King]

You have my sincere condolences on the passing of your amazing Queen. I've been watching the funeral services on TV. The world will miss her.
God Bless.

Thank you Richard. I sincerely hope to imitate the manner of her passing - Tuesday, upright and fully with it, attending to her duties; Wednesday, sick leave; Thursday, died in her own bed at the age of 96. That's the way to go!
George

One thing's for sure...no one can put on a funeral like the English!

She was really something; classy lady.

And oh. IBTL.

It has been eerily quiet here , the roads are deserted .

Seems a good time to remember all those recently departed.

One thing's for sure...no one can put on a funeral like the English!

Just for the record, the other home nations were involved as well, particularly the Scots who had a huge input.

George, (English and proud of it, but proud of being British too)

I loved how the Queens wishes were to have the Canadian Mounties lead the procession. I was amazed as to how all the soldiers marched in unison and with such accuracy. I watched BBC and Fox and they reported that thousands of Americans traveled to England to pay their respect. We loved the Queen too.

Yes;
One Most Remarkable Lady!
She was truly part of a Generation that taught Us All so much! Your Country is in our thoughts, and Prayers

Quite a few of us colonials are sorry she has gone too. I for one, never contemplated seeing the day. About as close to immortality as one could imagine.

I spoke to her once ( she was riding a horse in Hyde park) quite a few were there, she was very polite and approachable ( though there was probably a crosshairs on my head at the time!) a different time, she did a remarkable job of keeping Charles out of power till 72!!
Glad about that, don’t think he’s going to be the same myself but we’ll see.
I used to see the guards practicing marching, they seem very good at it, it was amusing to see a guy going down the road with a giant wooden dividers!,

I wonder how many got blisters. If they didn't I need a pair of the shoes.

Thanks, I didn’t know her personally, but we will miss her.

The boots they supply to the police and soldiers were the same, leather soled, parade boots were nailhead or hobnails, actually once broken in very comfy, better than rubber, I don’t get why but they were, an enigma
