Just about everyone on this board will only really remember the current queen as our monarch - a woman whom even her most ardent detractors would probably concede that overall she's a somewhat benign presence. However we shouldn't forget that throughout history our monarchy has thrown up some right fuckwit's and tyrants. In fact but for his loins taking him to the bed of a divorced American socialite we would have had a Nazi sympathiser on the throne in the run up to WW2 - and who knows how that might gave turned out? Just as not all presidents should be likened to Trump or Putin, one should not assume all future monarchs will be like Elizabeth. That could be said about any political party, organisation or royal family. Let’s just celebrate the present. Celebrate what? In any other walk of life someone who'd done the same job for 70 years would be regarded as lacking ambition.

It’s a pity they didn’t shift the fuckers as quick When they were blocking the oil refineries

Before I start let me say I like the royals and think the queen has served us amazingly for the last 70 years, but…..
I think she has already died, but so much momentum had been gained with the jubilee and it couldn’t be announced . I fully expect her death to be confirmed within the next 2 weeks.

My dear old gran and grandad were lifelong Norton residents, their bungalow being called The Beacon and given its location you can see why. I've run a few times from Brown Edge on the other side of the Norton Green dip it's easy to understand the location Next time you're up that way it's the bungalow at the junction of Norton Lane and Harrison Rd beautiful views. Anthea Turner lived next door. 😉😁

She was on the balcony yesterday I do think it's obvious she's a frail old lad but 'already dead', come on that's tinfoil hat stuff

I went to the one at Apedale Country Park finding out in the process that all that Staffordshire Wildlife Trust would let them have is an 8 foot pole attached to a calor gas cannister which sent all of 2 to 3 foot off flames out into the night sky. The Spiral Tap Stonehenge scene had nothing on it I had a great view of the proper one at Red Street. In the distance I suspect I could see the ones at Parkhall and Trentham.

Wonderful to see the brilliant Kirsty Young, with her soft and soothing Scottish accent, back on air. Such a class act and been off our screens for far too long!
Just sad that our dear Queen will be absent from this morning’s service.

When soppy Royalists are booing a Tory Prime Minister you know you've acheved a very special level of unpopularity!

The bells, the bells Had a very pleasant 30 minutes sitting outside the church in the sunshine listening to the bells.
