Bleednipple Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 I echo what's been said above. On a practical note which I hope won't be minded on this forum, does anyone have any knowledge of status of UK motorsport/classic car events this weekend? Sports fixtures seem to be under review generally, we know about football etc but the govt has of course said it's down to individual organisers. It's a bit hard to gauge what's going to happen on various events (I'm waiting to hear about the Ilkely Jubilee/HRCR rally on Sunday). Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 I was the theatre last night, a local relay of the National Theatre's Much Ado. My local venue announced the Queen's death, and that anyone who wished might leave and get a refund. The relay was prefaced by the Director of the NT saying that his organisation, of which the Queen was a Patron, would continue with the performance, which was a joyful one. It must be down to individual venues, but as the theatre says, the show must go on. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brian -r Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Very sad news, a Great Lady and defining part of British life who has been with so many of us for most of our lives. She leaves a very large hole to fill. Rest In (a well-earned) Peace Bian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblenk Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 very sad yes very emotional yesterday what service she gave and wisdom its what made Britain great never to be seen again as they said the presidents and heads of states she met over the 70 years and was Queen for 10 years when i was born !!!! Yes i believe Charles is primed and knows what to expect and will handle it with the same decorum long live the King going to be weird singing the national anthem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poolboy Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Might seem strange coming from a yank, but I feel a sense of loss as well as I'm sure many of us do...That has to be a reflection of the respect and admiration for your Queen.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Thanks for that Ken Seems our queen was held in very high esteme across the globe. John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Indeed, and rightly. I'm told that, even in a devotedly republican country, "France Ouest" had five pages on her death yesterday. But the Guardian did have an editorial policy of republicanism (small 'r'), yet yesterday it had nineteen pages, and today twenty five, plus a biographical supplement of FORTY pages! I can't make it out. Either they have a majority of royalist readers who would pull it out to keep, or the toryising effects of age is getting to the paper. Goodness knows (I daren't look) what the Daily Mail has done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
