And we could see her dying live on TV!

If it was good enough for Tommy Cooper, it should do for the monarch

Keeling over and falling off her horse while they troop the colour or whatever would be a stylish exit

Or during, on a 4-day bender?

Here comes the voice of experience...

Nah he's probably worked for a government department, broadcaster, etc where they have contingency plans for royal deaths.

When the DofE dropped dead I was impressed how the radio dealt with it.

[d000hg]

So if she drops dead do we get Charles coronation day as a bank holiday?

We probably get a national month of mourning. Remember when Diana died, that will be nothing in comparison.

Treason! Hang him!

Yep, "Imagining or encompassing the Sovereign's death"

Historically Kings and Queens don't like when it their servants fail to make detailed long term plans for all sort of happy occasions on the basis that His or Her Majesty won't last that long...

It's only one extra bank holiday as the late May holiday is being repurposed for the occasion

[ladymuck]

She may not make it that long anyway; at her age, all plans further ahead than teatime are provisional at best

If she dies before the jubilee, will we still have the extra bank holidays?

Or during, on a 4-day bender?

:lol: I'd forgotten about that.

She resigned over one tweet.
There's a guy in a redecorated flat who just keeps lying and lying, but will not resign and his party don't want him to either. Shows that if you say the wrong thing and resign, you'll be remembered. If you keep doing wrong but waffle your way through, you can get away with murder (and fraud, and Omicronyism, and adultery, etc)

The sad reality with Boris is that "lying cretin" was baked in from the start for many, perhaps most that voted for him, but the realistic alternative was Corbyn. This is partly why revelations about his character don't really stick, because they're not revelations to most.

we will probably have even more
