The Queen

lets hope she gets well soon.

So unusual and so soon after her endorsing Ms Truss as Prime minister yesterday. For The Palace to issue this statement and her family members have been informed is very concerning.

I hope The Queen can be as comfortable as possible. I wish her well!

Somehow I fear this is more serious than we are meant to believe. Surely such an announcement would not be made if the situation was trivial.

lots of family members travelling up apparently. Hope its nothing too serious.

Prince William on his way to Balmoral not a good sign.

Big respect for the Queen in this household …she loves Scotland..and most of Scotland love her.

Finished her off when she saw who's going to be running the country. Fare thee well ,your Majesty.

Most people don't survive as long as our Queen, so there has to be concern.

I hope she'd be well enough to watch the St Leger on saturday.

Ff’s

Where's Prince Andrew in all this? He better not be in Pizza Express Woking, again.

Where’s ginger

Can only hope she gets better but HM is 96 now so must be very frail.

Someone to cherish and never be forgotten.

do we get a day off if she pops her clogs ?

Is 'ginger' not in the country? He was just recently. I'm sure he'll be there sharpish unless he's had a brain transplant whilst in America!

Ignorance is bliss

Fortunately our Union flag was already at half-mast after Rangers got pumped last night

Watching BBC now, all her children plus William have flown up there
Looks very grim
Commentators all but saying she's very close to passing away
Hope she makes it through

Liz Truss probably bored the woman into her demise

Harry on his way to Balmoral. with his Mrs.

"... Prepare for the worst..."
Nicholas Witchell just said
I'm assuming they know more than we're being told?

strange that pic of truss with her other day..truss looked 16 inches taller yet a google shows both 5ft 3"

Nicholas Witchell - worth every penny of the licence fee. The man is a saint.

Scottish Television keeping their powder dry. Still watching Dickinson's Real Deal

Princess Margaret's cigarette card collection just went for £40.

The sporting venues up and down the country must be bracing themselves for an emergency action plan. I think any further deterioration in her health will undoubtedly necessitate a postponement or cancellation of this weekend's sports fixtures.

Knob F off

That was for gammon head mr myxxx or whatever it is

Tbf, you could justify it as a reply to impossible

Yes I agree….all ignorant

I seem to remember racing was cancelled the day of Diana's funeral?

That’s correct mr c the Vernons/haydock park sprint was brought forward to the Friday.

Sad news all. RIP

She's had good innings she cant complain.

Kwicken another gammon head

do you mean the Queen ??

poor taste

you would not make that unfunny non-joke if she was of say, african or asian heritage. anti-white 'jokes' are ok.

FSDCs other than dignified posts!!

Rumours here are that there will be an announcement any time now, its all over..

Not a rumour jersey.

6pm Announcement. Will there be a couple of Non Racing days tommorrow and sat ?

Military leave cancelled until further notice does not happen often.

Loads of gutless stuff on here….if you don’t like the Queen…wrap yourself in a Yankee flag and holiday in Iraq..

Par for the course for the unwashed formof,DG an extreme example of trolling for attention.

Having to endorse Chucky as our next PM probably sent her downhill...best wishes to her.

Another SDC!!

There are a lot of very disrespectful comments on here !
No respect for a very lovely lady , who has always been so !

Just wait for them to claim a double with the Pope jinxy,nailed on to happen sadly.

I am no Royalist but think it's in really bad taste to make light of anybody's last moments - certainly any decent human being. Have some respect for a loved mother and grandmother. I'm not devoid of a sense of humour but these aren't the times to take the p1ss.

Good enough for me Nonaynever as a fellow non Royalist.

It has the same feeling like when they put the screens up imo

Sad times…hopefully everyone gets there in time to say goodbye.

We have all lived through History, The longest serving Monarch.
This country will never be the same again in our lifetimes.

Big respect for The Queen but when she passes it's time to ditch The Monarchy...It belongs to a time that has long gone.

rubbish. like it or not, these isles have been a monarchy for a long time. a change so radical must be thoroughly examined. you must be confident its absolutely the right thing and evidence should be overwhelmingly in favour. and not the result of a simple majority vote, like brexit. it should require a large majority. but is the case strong enough?

greece italy and portugal were 20th century monarchies that became republics, and are among the most corrupt countries in europe.

sweden  norway and denmark are the least corrupt, and are all monarchies. 

the monarch is head of state and a figurehead above the president but has no power and is not allowed to be political. presidents are and can be corrupted by power  ambition vanity and money, like putin xi castro maduro kim whatsisname and plenty of others.

president johnson anyone? and how much power does a president get? in france, way too much, thanks to degaulle. 

and in russia it has lead to dictatorship and war because of one mans ambition. and highlights the  reason we have the royal air force and royal navy, but british army.
  
if you were setting up a state today, you wouldnt. but it aint really worth getting too agitated about. monarchs are also a lot cheaper than presidents and bring in boatloads of tourists. they love it. the mall is a strange place. the case for abolition is not well-made, when you remove the resentment and loathing.

i have zero interest in it and find those that do a strange.

We will never see another Queen like this, she hasn't put a foot out of place in seventy years. She has been a real credit to this country and has put up with an awful lot first from her jack the lad husband and then from her children who have let her down in many ways.

Here here Billy….well put.

trouble is half the posters on here are tin pot billy bunters using their parents accounts

So do Rob Roy and Braveheart

FOYSDC onlooker,are there no bounds for you and your fellow morons to get attention? HM has more Scottish blood than most ,coincidence she is at Balmoral moron? The only other place she would have chosen would have been Glamis Castle/

If my kids behaved like hers you would have said it was bad parenting.

What terrible news! So sudden after her official function just yesterday.

The Queen is now reunited with Prince Phillip - the Duke Of Edinburgh, her mum the Queen Mother and her sister Princess Margaret.

RIP The Queen!!

RIP - Didn't think I would feeling that sad but I am - What a wonderful quueen she was.

Very sad, gutted, what a truly outstanding human being, RIP Your Majesty

RIP one of the best, just got on with the job and never moaned Sad

R.I.P

I'll have to own up and say I shed a few tears.
It's a terribly sad day.

R.I.P. The Queen

Busy right till the end and a long life just like her mother.

She loved horses, just like us

Very sad news indeed. We can take comfort that she was still able to meet with Liz Truss on Tuesday so did not have a period of incapacity. Like my own mum, she died of old age. My father managed to rig up a generator and bought a 9 inch TV to watch the Coronation in 1953. We had no mains electricity or water when she became Queen. RIP.

RIP

The Queen had been head of state for The UK and Commonwealth for 70 years. As such a suspension of every sport in this country for a weekend as a mark of respect and thank-you for her reign and service is the very least the country and her citizen can accord her.

I understand The Queen has not asked or wished for it but, I'm sure she'd not have minded if this gesture is accorded to her for the service and leadership for the last 70 years.

I read that Liz Truss was informed at 4.30pm of the Queen's passing.  If that's correct, those that flew up to her were too late, as their car arrived through the gates around 5pm.  Charles, Camilla and Anne were already in Balmoral.

Interesting to watch Bloomberg with pictures of the Queen with every president since Roosevelt. Biden has ordered all US flags to be at half mast. Would they do that for any other National leader?

Response to impossible123: Our wonderful Queen was never one to sit back or stop. I am pretty sure she would not wish even respectful disruption of people's livelihoods as the cancellation or even postponement of current sporting activities may entail. Enough ... we can each mark our respect in more pragmatic and meaningful ways.
