On the day of her funeral it is marked as a national day of mourning. So yes on that day everyone is off work.

Mahathir Mohamad won this battle. Still kicking around with his pacemaker. And yes, they both have met before.

Jokes aside I know Reeeeee has always been the go to forum for jokes and rightly so, but that thread on the Queens passing is a malignant cesspool of shit and I'm not even a royalist!
Shame on them!

96 is a hell of a run by any standard. When someone that old dies you pour one out and celebrate the life.

Fucking vile what I'm reading online.
Her death has really let the mask slip for some of these clowns.

I don´t get it. A kid dies in the world every 5 seconds, and 30k people will die of hunger today... but the western news agencies think this is a day of mourning for humanity?.

Give it time and this thread will uncover a few nasty turds.
Stability in leadership is tremendously valuable.

The coverage has been interesting. Im learning as well. I think its a deep sentimental symbolism for the continuity of the country basically. 1000 years. British identity is an interesting contradiction of rationalism mixed with a deep emotional patriotism I guess. Pretty interesting. Never really followed the royal family stuff.

A true legend. An incredible woman. Probably the greatest of the 20th century. RIP.

Honouring the death of an historic figure doesn't mean we think otherwise

Hard to believe it's real, despite how inevitable it was. RIP to a most beloved monarch and God save the King.
That dumpster fire of a Reeeee thread really illustrates how the dipshits who live in that bubble are the lowest common denominator. Sniveling, pathetic lowlifes who have no place in actual society.

Her uncle even made a deal with Hitler to get his throne back.

Other people are not a symbol of this magnitude, not an anchor of reality. She was a historic figure of immense influence that was a constant presence in the background of multiple generations. Through simply existing she brought peace and stability to countless minds. That is the power of symbols.

It just means their country is very old. It's a reminder of a past age, similar to an emperor in Japan. They hold on to it for tradition as part of their collective identity as far as I can tell. If it doesn't make sense to you, it is from a previous era when we had real monarchies hundreds of years ago, and they honor the tradition of it as a way of paying respect to the long history of their country. It's a tiny remnant of their distant past that they hold onto. I think even they would acknowledge it doesn't 100% make sense, since they are likely to have another debate of the role of the monarchy into the future, and change is always a possibility. They're finding the balance between tradition and modernity. Reminds me of Japan.

Why you guys keep conflating the intention of my post?. I´m talking about media and western news agencies. It´s perfectly fine if you see her like that.

70 years as Queen in the public eye. The majority of people alive in this world, didn't even know a world without a Queen Elizabeth II..
So yeah its a huge freaking deal globally.

Iconic figure.
Respect her dignified personality, and how she weathered through a lot of historic events..
If only she had the strength to live to 100..
Rest in Peace.

There were rumours for years that he planned to take the regal name George after his grandfather.
