The Official Her Majesty's 90th birthday thread

[Unix]

Well I think she does a fantastic job - 90 years old and still going strong.

She's a wonderful ambassador for Britain and long may she continue.

Look at all them tourists that come in every year to stand outside Buckingham Palace in the pouring rain to watch the changing of the guard.

Do you think that's going to continue when whatever ghastly presidential alternative our system would inevitably come up with is in residence?

Yeah because no-one vistits Washington DC or the USA

[NotAllThere]

Are you allowed to say that about the old queen?

90 isn't so old. I've never seen a photo of her in, for example, a wheelchair.

[WTFH]

I suspect if there were such photos, she'd be on to the IPSO in a flash to get them taken down.


Has she ever been to Disneyland?

Personally I think she has done an exemplary job during her reign & no complaints there - she will be a hard act to follow

However once she passes we should have another referendum to see if we want to continue the monarchy or turn Buckingham Palace into a Travelodge

As soon as she goes I echo the comments there should be a referendum so we can ditch them.

I think most would vote to keep them. They bring in a lot of tourist revenue.

I would like to see BuckPal turned into flats - Royal family can move to Windsor.

Would you wait for the result of the referendum?

Oops double post

Would you wait for the result of the referendum?

Given the choice no

Probably not:

Changing the Guard can sometimes be cancelled, especially in wet weather.
