Mcavenie did?
Phillip came to me today,
and said it was time to go.
I looked at him and smiled,
as i whispered that “I know”
I then turned and looked behind me,
and seen I was asleep.
All my Family were around me,
and I could hear them weep.
I gently touched each shoulder,
with Phillip by my side.
Then I turned away and walked,
with My Angel guide.
Phillip held my hand,
as he lead the way,
to a world where King’s and Queens,
are Monarch’s every day.
I was given a crown to wear
or a Halo known by some.
The difference is up here,
they are worn by everyone.
I felt a sense of peace,
my reign had seen its end.
70 years I had served my Country,
as the peoples friend.
Thank you for the years,
for all your time and love.
Now I am one of two again,
in our Palace up above.
Not to mention former Chairman John Reid, UK Defence Secretary during the Iraq War.

It would be remiss not to extend condolences to Her Majesty’s subjects in the Commonwealth Realms. Condolences to @Fitzy, @Chucks_Nwoko and @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy.
This anchorman Huw Edwards on BBC has had a stormer. The occasional touch of Welsh lilt with the correct measurements of grief and gravitas.
I’m off to play a few blasts of Cerys Matthews for myself.

He sounded like it. That piece this evening on the news was of Cowan vintage.
I think the Queen’s funeral will be a great occasion. A quiet celebration of life, of her life and all the lives of everybody in these islands. It will be solemn yet joyous, full of justified British pride yet deeply inclusive of all those who reside on our islands and beyond.
A day for the people. I hope it’s held on a Saturday as Liverpool desperately need the next two league games postponed.
By playing Elizabeth my dear earlier reopened how good The Stone Roses first LP is.
Absolutely untouchable as a debut and still probably my favourite record of all time.

Stone Roses was a time and a moment of that era. The video of the Blackpool gig was iconic

The British working class loved the Queen.
Quite true.
A lot of the old Celtic bhoys were Labour men.
They also remembered a time when sectarianism was rampant in Scotland and especially Glasgow and they were affected by it.
Not unlike the north, Scotland has changed. Confident young people aren’t afraid of sectarianism, to stand against it, fight for what’s right and want to break from the union. They mostly want a better Scotland, free to make their own decisions, map their own destiny…and in Europe!
Young Catholic Celtic fans aren’t afraid of Calvinism. They are smart, educated and confident to know it’s not hand in hand in Scotland like their Grandparents may have thought.
Chairman Dan is like Jacob Rees Mogg. I wonder if his pocket watch has a date on it so he could realise what year we’re in.
