Her Majesty

[saundra]

I totally agree ossi but doesent the media go completely over board on every thing
Like the invasion of Ukraine hardly a l
Murmur about it now
It's a personal choice what we watch or comment on right tea toast and tv of my choice

I agree, it is extremely maudlin and unnecessary, but it's really a different issue, WM.

I believe a lot of folk, from what I read and hear, whilst respecting the Queen's years of selfless service and honouring her memory, are simply turning off the TV and turning away from the mainstream media because both have gone into this complete and unnecessary overdrive. I know we are - we're not going to wallow in it, the remote is firmly off.

The media, I suspect, are judging it wrong. They think it's a replay of the Diana moment. No, it's not - people will quietly celebrate a life well lived and they will do so without the hysteria.

Yes, we will now have 10 days of pomp, ceremony and protocol, and that's absolutely right in context, but we will all move on after that.

100% agree xx

Nice to see I am not the only who thinks this way.

At least we have playback recordings to catch up on

[cromwell]

They are erring on the side of caution, I think.
The media doesn't want to be criticised for not being respectful enough and they've gone too much the other way.

I can't imagine that the Queen would have wanted the horse racing cancelled either.

Well it looks as though the BBC have got it absolutely right, I think their coverage has been excellent. A lovely friend said 'It gives me a sense of pride and history and I think a lot of people will feel the same' . I absolutely agree.

[saundra]

I continue to watch the whole coverage of this
Royal event to me it's history in the making
And also pride and tradition

[cromwell]

That's exactly how MrsC feels Saundra.

[Suff]

Certainly we have watched some of it. But with catch up and the off button you can choose to watch as you wish.

I found out this weekend that my Dil was on duty at Balmoral the day she died.

[Kaz]

Oh my goodness, that’s a day she will never forget then, Suff

[Suff]

No that one will be recorded for posterity. Mostly for the lack of information they had on the ground.
