Update. Only satire will be taken off apparently. Get ready for wall to wall Dad's Army

Liverpool will be made up to have a few matches postponed.

The BBC has gone full black suit and all the royals are rushing to Balmoral.

 This thread for all Queen / Royal succession chat ?

I'm disappointed that you didn't start this thread with "So... this is going to be a thing isn’t it?" I genuinely clicked on the thread title thinking that would be the first words I saw. oh well.

[Keith Houchen]

The title of this thread is misleading, very misleading. The queen isn’t about to die at all, in fact her new album “Midnights” is released on 21st October.

In other areas of the internet I've already seen people saying this is going to have a bigger impact than the Covid lockdowns. 

The country is going to go in to full meltdown mode isn't it? It will be a spectacle to behold.

I wonder how many days off we will get? One for the funeral and one for Charles' coronation?

Apparently yes, a bank holiday for the funeral and another for the coronation is expected so I'm led to believe.

Even the nWo b-team have gone to Balmoral. It's over.

Dan Wooton is cluching his pearls on twitter. You know, the gutter journalist guy who complains of comedy being cancelled because of all the lefty snowflakes. 

And in other shit takes

The day of the funeral and the coronation will both be bank holidays, and there's an official period of mourning (10-12 days), but it's unlikely we'll get that off. Which is a shame, I was hoping this would at least push back my deadline on Monday...

There's going to be a surge of insane flag-shagging nationalism, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Truss curry favour by getting us another day or two, to be honest.

I thought she already was dead? Oh well.

[deathrey]

The size of the bruise on the back of the Queens hand on that photo is huge. Remember my grandma having that before she died.

He was right about Johnny Depp being a wifebeater. A stopped clock etc.
