Poor old Charlie looks bored out of his mind down the bay

No problem, king Willy to the rescue if Charlie croaks it 👍

Ideally he does it during the summer break and not mid season like his mum.

Fair play, whatever people think, our city is looking brilliant today

Apart from the boardwalk beside the water-front immediately in front of the synod which has been ripped up and left for months with thousands of rusting nails protruding from them......Presumably screened off from thw royal gaze with some tasteful Banksie artwork.

And so it should .


I should imagine the distance Charles has travelled approx 1,550 miles since the Queens death at Balmoral last Thursday.

He is in 70's , probably knackered , love or hate him his mum has died , the burden of the role and the commitment to the travel, which has not finished yet with the funeral taking place Monday this will take its toll ..

And he's back in that London later aswell standing guard in Westminster Hall.

People's loved ones die every day and if they're lucky they get family support and can afford the funeral costs. That's not the case for millions of his subjects.

When my mother died, I had to sort everything out. Everything. Go and register her death, sort the funeral arrangements, notify everybody and sort her home out. I was living 300 miles away and doing 600 miles round trips three times a week as well as working. I had no help from the state. No entourage of thousands of staff to f*cking fill a fountain pen and chopper me into the freshly-painted areas of cities around the UK.

This isn't a feel-sorry-for-myself post. Far from it.

He doesn't see the needles in Grangetown or the kids on scooters delivering smack. The fly-tipping. The rats. The poverty.

I've been very restrained about my feelings regarding the death of Queen Elizabeth II and now the ascension of King Charles III, but some of this stuff really makes me angry. It makes me feel sick. I feel a huge sense of injustice and inequality. I am having my face rubbed into the sycophancy, of the absurdity of how being pushed out into the world from a very specific vagina will automatically mean I never have to wait for a hip replacement, worry what happens to my wife when I die or scrimp and save to deal with a cost of living crisis that, would you believe, is still very much part of millions of Britons lives. I live around people who can only afford to put a couple of quid on the electric. People who have terminal cancer, people who will die young because of a lack of adequate healthcare. People who rely on and volunteer at food banks.

There's a reason that the queen was able to live so long and died of natural causes at 96 years old.

Enough. Please. Some sense of perspective I implore any of you that is seduced by this vacuous and obscene pomp to try and remember that life is f*cking hard work and they are very, very, fortunate to not have to worry about very much beyond cutting a ribbon to open a new supermarket compared to millions of their subjects.

From afar, I've watched the unfolding events in Albion after Elizabeth Windsor's death with a sense of horror and disbelief. This one post has restored some belief in me that not everyone has lost their mind. Post of the year IMHO.

Why has this thread been relegated off the main page? That action is ridiculous and smacks of censorship. There is absolutely no justification for more than one board.

The thought of you watching in horror and disbelief is quite uplifting actually. Thoughts are with you

I was at Niagara Falls a few days ago (been in Canada a month) and in addition to all the official Canadian flags at half mast I was very surprised to see the American flags on the other side of the river also all at half mast.

Is that just a message of solidarity with their northern neighbours in their time of trauma and inconsolable grief, or some other idiocy?

I thought they had a revolution so they wouldn’t have to muck about with their flag poles when an hereditary monarch shuffled off?

Jon, I know you are a committed old lefty and I get and respect your position on it all, but surely you understand the basic concept of respect and you recognise the global role of the royal family and the fact that Britain's head of state recently passed?

Can you not just recognise it as a form of respect? Surely not everything has to be ideologically aligned to your own outlook for you to do so?
