    Hell of an innings. A constant in many lives and seemed such a dedicated, nice person.

    There will be a lot of snark. But ultimately despite the scandals and the questions over the monarchy's value, I think in particular she was a shining light, and example to the rest of them.

    Good luck the Chuck, following that.

    What a magnificent example; a life entirely given to service. Feels like a new era now. Rest in peace.

    Charlotte
    Louis
    Harry
    Archie
    Lilibet
    Andrew

    8th in line so he’s got his work cut out. It wasn’t that long ago that they allowed females equal ranking to males so that added another spanner into the works.

    Banknotes as well. Best thing is to remove all your money from the bank and throw it. If that's a hassle I will do it for free. Just PM me and I will send account details.

    Didn't Harry renounce his titles?

    Without being a monarchist it does seem strange that someone who has been an ever-present though distant part of your life is suddenly gone.

    Grateful for her dignified life of service.

    Queens called Elizabeth eh? GHard act to follow. One presided over the birth of an empire and the other its disolution. Bothe remarkable women.

    Kings called Charles - urk!

    OK, good enough for me. He’s no chance.

    A chance that the Bledisloe Cup Test will clash with the funeral. It might not go ahead.

    Whilst sport is not the be all and end all I think the last couple of years have proven that cancelations are not good.

    It’s the other side of the world for fucks sake.

    @Crucial not to mention our passports:

    The Governor-General in the Realm of New Zealand requests in the Name of Her Majesty The Queen all whom it may concern to allow the holder to pass without delay or hindrance and in case of need to give all lawful assistance and protection.

    RIP

    William, Kate and the kids won't be travelling on the same flight for a while.

    Chance maybe but it is usually about 10 days of mourning before funeral so we should be OK
