WLKRAS Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I understand why sports would be off over the weekend, but I feel the Queen was always very much a 'the show must go on' kinda woman. So it that sense, it would be logical if it carried on. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycling has gone early and cancelled the rest of The Tour of Britain, and just said the guy who was leading yesterday has won. I don’t think the test match will be played at The Oval either. Without somebody actually making a decision football will just fall in line. If they were going to play, then wouldn’t have called off tonight’s games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gricehead Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Sons FC said: More related consequences - all barristers who are QCs, immediately become KCs, all police (and other services) force badges with EIIR insignia will need to be changed, post boxes, currency, passports and stamps changes will be phased - Charles will face the opposite direction on the coins in accordance with tradition. They don't change post boxes, even in a planned phased manner. That's why you'll still find boxes with Royal Cyphers right back to Queen Victoria Any new ones will have a new CIIIR Royal Cypher (except in Scotland where new post boxes haven't had royal cyphers since around 1953 because some Scottish people reacted badly to QEII being called QEII). Covid and the running community taught me more about post boxes than I ever wanted to know Edited September 9, 2022 by Gricehead 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 When do they confirm the funeral date? I'm sure I read 9 days after the death in that Operation London Bridge article... but if that's Sat 17th potentially means two weekends running with no football.

Guardian saying it "should" be Sunday 18th September. But in the same article they're talking about concerns London will "be full" due to mourners flocking there, and that doesn't tie in well with Sunday rail services (outside the immediate London area) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m_fenton Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Personally, I'd find the "shut everything down to mourn" thing more understandable if she had died young and unexpectedly. A 96 year old woman peacefully passing hardly seems like reason to shut everything down. The rolling news headline last night was effectively "Son sad that his mum died", which is hardly news either. She was a cultural giant, an inspiration to many and, ignoring the stuff that suggests otherwise, by most accounts a lovely woman. Give her a big send off, clad the newsreaders in black etc, but life goes on as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think if you are going to the pub to get pissed up to avoid the TV saturation, don't go to a Wetherspoons as it only shows BBC News 24 and is full of Patriotic, alcoholic bores who are bad enough during normal times.
