treker_ed Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 A couple of weeks ago, the wife asked me a question. It was about the order of succession in the Royal Family. And we discussed then about the Queen's health. At that time, I honestly thought it would be a couple of years, and then Charles would be on the throne. Today, I have almost been glued to the news ever since it was announced about the health issues! I was still shocked and saddened by the announcement at 18:30 BST of Her Majesty's death ! I am proud to say that I served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces (RAF). Thank you for your 75 years of service to your Country and people, and your 70 years as our Monarch. Clear skies Ma'am!

So true - Decimalisation, metrication, the death of Elvis, George & John, Bowie, Joe Strummer; so many other icons of our time gone; not just musically - now this... ...this hurts.

Pete Roberts Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 What an amazing world leader, woman, person Queen Elizabeth II was. We all face this time in our lives, but it is a wrench for those around us. I hope her legacy lives on with her successors, and we continue to get this quality of leadership. Our world sorely needs it. Oldbaldguy, airscale, Out2gtcha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christa Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Hey Rog, good Queen Elizabeth II served long before woke, King Charles III is likely to be serving after its gone.

dennismcc Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Sad news indeed, I was born the year the Queen took up the throne and she has been ever present in my life and ever constant in her support and faith in the country.
