Re: The Queen watch
Had already been thinking what happens if she pegs it beforehand. Presumably that weekend becomes a memorial weekend with the bonus of additonal days off for a day of mourning, ma'am's funeral and the coronation of Charles.

Re: The Queen watch
We get holidays if she dies, right? Do we also get holidays for Charles' coronation? That, along with the early June bank holidays would be fantastic.
I mean, obviously I hope she pulls through and all that, but I think it's important for the Nation's mental health we focus on the positives at this difficult time.

Re: The Queen watch
Interested in the optics of the Queen pegging it and BJ rescinding all covid restrictions the next day

Re: The Queen watch
The Queen has cancelled her zoom calls today, but we are being told her symptoms are mild and cold like.
I bet she's feeling crappy today. The Palace never give the public the truth

Re: The Queen watch
Trending on Twitter she pegged it because of some no mark news account.
She wasn’t watching our stream was she?

Re: The Queen watch
08.00 On BBC Radio 4 they played The National Anthem as a Birthday present for Brenda. BoJo can't accuse the BBC of dissing Lilibet. God Save the Queen, long may she reign. ( As an aside, did you know that God Save the Queen is one of the few examples of the subjunctive mood in the English Language ? )

Re: The Queen watch
Always assumed it was an imperative command - cos even God obeys what the English tell him to do - but thinking about it, it is a rare subjunctive in English-speaking [pedants' corner: usually we use something like should+infinitive verb instead]did you know that God Save the Queen is one of the few examples of the subjunctive mood in the English Language

Re: The Queen watch
She's going to miss the opening of Parliament tomorrow, with Charles and Wills stepping in with a double act. They must be trying to keep her going until the jubilee.
