Re: Queen Elizabeth

[ Edited ]

 

BBC anchors have switched to black suits and ties, and regular programming has been suspended.

 

For those unaware, this is part of the process in announcing the passing of the Queen in “Operation London Bridge”

@eadu4  Have to agree with you. It certainly seems that way.  I think the death of her husband really took the wind out of her sails.  She's lived a long, wonderful and fascinating life and I wish her,  her family and the British people nothing but the best.

@paixmcdao   Oh this is sad. All of the cable channels here have switched over to coverage of her. I'm unfamiliar with the term Operation London Bridge but I'm going to Google it. Thank you for this information.

I just saw the footage of Prince William, Andrew, Edward and Sophie getting off the plane and driving to Balmoral.

@MorningLover  No worries!  I think we were both kind of shocked at this morning's news at the same time!

She's been so remarkably health- blessed and lucky her whole life but she is 96.

Maybe they'll finally reveal what she kept in her purse.
