"What’s happened?" The Queen is under medical supervision and family have been informed and started making their way to Balmoral. Certainly not looking good. | |||

"Well… not looking good " Not good at all, I think we are nearing the end, I hope she pulls through though | |||

"Oh dear hope she's OK "We can only hope but I think we should all be prepared for announcement of her death within the month. | |||

"Get rid of all of them I say. No time for any of them" Maybe read the room. You don't have to be a fan of the Royal family but this woman is 96 years old and has dedicated her life to service. Even if you detest what she and the Royal family stand for a little bit of decorum and respect goes a long way. | |||

"I have to say I'm actually quite surprised how emotional I feel about this news. " It's huge news if she is close to the end. She's been a constant among everything else that's gone on.

"I have to say I'm actually quite surprised how emotional I feel about this news. " My friends and I were just saying on a chat group that it’s quite strange in many ways how the death (whenever it happens) of an old lady we’ve never met will a) be a shock and b) impact people. For so many people she’s been one of life’s constant things. | |||

I think you are absolutely right and particularly in these times of uncertainty she is definitely a reassuring presence for me anyway. | |||

"There's always been a form of panic everytime she is unwell so it might not be anything sinister. Doesn't effect my life but love and thoughts to her family of course." I would normally agree with you but the wording of this is very different. The BBC currently have live updates on the app. Words like the Queen is currently being kept comfortable, The family have been informed, Her children and grandchildren are either making their way to Balmoral or preparing to do so. I think this has been prepared for announcement very soon. | |||

I do think however it should be done as respectfully as possible. | |||

"I think she has gone n their just holding back the news. Just seen Buckingham Palace on TV n the traffic outside has stopped n there's barriers out. Do wondering if their getting things in place before announcing it as that is somewhere the public will flock to n also it will give the family time to get their heads around it before being thrown to the public." I don't think she has gone, I do think they know is imminent and once the immediate family have been informed the rest of us will know. Royal family do not normally delay these kind of announcements unless there is very good reason. | |||

"Get rid of all of them I say. No time for any of them" Give your head a wobble! Whatever your personal opinion is of our monarchy, and you are entitled to it, this lady has family. She is a human being, a mother, grandmother & great grandmother and as such, the same as every person on earth, she and her family deserve respect and compassion at this time. | |||

"Get rid of all of them I say. No time for any of them" Have a heart. Take away the fact that they're the Royal Family and look at it from their view. There is a Mother, Grandmother, Auntie, Great Auntie, friend to many including current and past staff, who is not good at all. They must be so concerned and full of emotion. As for our Queen, nobody can imagine how she's feeling right now. I've been there with loved ones at and near the end of their lives. It's heartbreaking. | |||

"Get rid of all of them I say. No time for any of them Have a heart. Take away the fact that they're the Royal Family and look at it from their view. There is a Mother, Grandmother, Auntie, Great Auntie, friend to many including current and past staff, who is not good at all. They must be so concerned and full of emotion. As for our Queen, nobody can imagine how she's feeling right now. I've been there with loved ones at and near the end of their lives. It's heartbreaking." This x | |||

Also, notice they have not mentioned any children attending. You take a child to an unwell person, but not a dying person.

"I think it’s really sad seeing all the news readers in black, prepared for the news. Her Majesty the Queen served her country without complaining, as an example of duty and discipline. Possibly the last national institution that hasn't fallen into disrepair, disregard or distrust. I don't think we're remotely ready for her loss. “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong,” " | |||

"There is no changing of the guard today as well. I don't remember that before not happening on any occasion." I've just Google there and it doesn't actually happen every day. The current schedules are: August - May: The Queen's Guard change on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays June - July: The Queen's Guard change daily It wouldn't have happened today anyway as it's a Thursday. | |||

"My mate at the BBC has said the schedule has just been cancelled for the rest of the day so expect imminent news." Huw Edward's is in a black suit and tie,

"Don't write her off she's old school and made of stronger stuff then today's modern snowflakes..Hope she is feeling better soon..x" Do "modern snowflakes" die of old age too easily? Hopefully the Queen pulls through. | |||

"I don’t think there’ll be any formal announcement until all the family have gathered - is Harry still in the UK???? Don't forget the Queen was in South Africa when the news was broken about her father George VI dying." Actually at a game viewing lodge called 'Treetops' in Kenya, in East Africa, but you are right. | |||

"I’m watching the live BBC Coverage and every so often they’re broadcasting live from the gates of Balmoral. Every time a vehicle arrives they cut to recoded segments. I guess that provides a little privacy to whoever is arriving." it looks like Camilla standing on the drive just up from the gates | |||

We may find his behaviour dubious to say the least however the Queen is still his mother. "And? The idea that someone (allegedly) involved in the sex trafficking of children deserves peace and comfort is an anathema, regardless of the circumstances. | |||

"40 years ago I swore an oath of allegiance to the Queen when I joined the army. I joined the Queen's Regiment and have always regarded the queen as the boss. It doesn't look promising for her at the moment and I for one will mourn her loss if she passes on "Indeed; 45 years ago in my case. | |||
