September 8, 20223 yr Moderator Quote London Bridge is Down - This was the code phrase passed just before the public announcement was made. London Bridge was the not-so-secret plan for the United Kingdom after Queen Elizabeth II dies. I wish to offer my sincere condolences to my friends across the pond on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II this afternoon (Central Time). As she was 96 years old I cannot admit to being terribly surprised. I was only surprised to notice a live broadcast on Sky News of the event while browsing other videos. Long live His Majesty Charles III, the new King. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

September 8, 20223 yr Moderator Thanks Fr Bill. She’s been my monarch for all but 9 months of my 71 years. She dedicated her whole life to the service of her country. The Queen is dead, long live the King. Charles III is now our king. How strange it is to write those words. Ray (Cheshire, England).

Just moments (less than two minutes) after noticing the LIVE Sky News broadcast and clicking on it, the formal announcement of Her Majesty's passing was made. As I wrote in the OP, I wasn't surprised so much as gob smoked on the timing of my having noticed the live broadcast. Fr.

September 8, 20223 yr Her Majesty The Queen of The United Kingdom, Elizabeth II, shall be remembered for her sense of Unity and perseverence. Long live the New Monarch Charles III. As I live in the Netherlands, the Dutch sentiments are strong tied with the British. The Queen was always on the screens, I remembered the 60 years jubilee when broadcast was made of Shirley Bassey. With these songs her appearance is tied with the character of James Bond On Her Majesty's Secret Service, drinking on the health of Her Majesty the Queen, showing her portrait. It all comes together when I think of my history from 1991 as I was born. I also mourn for her loss. As she was a monarch of all of Mankind.
