    If anyone is based near the river. Going to pop down for a look shortly.
  • shine166 as the Queen has no re constitutional power why would we need to elect her ? I have no particular affinity to the monarchy but the achievement is remarkable and he Queen has represented out country brilliantly over 63 years.

    Congratulations to her all respect

    That sums up my feelings to a tee.

    Well done, Your Majesty.
  • Well done indeed.

    I always worry when people start tempting fate by celebrating these occasions early!

    Relieved she made it.
  • Well done Ma'am as in jam, but some way to go to beat Victoria on number of pubs named after you.

    Or parks named after King George
    Or piercings named after Prince Albert

    If her only contribution is to once a year dictate to the nation about austerity, while sat on a golden chair.. Maybe it's time to scrap the royals ?. I understand they are good for tourism, but so is a museum or theme park

    Although I agree with the sentiment, it seems a bit crass to say anything other than "well done" today

    Now she's got her record, perhaps she should think about retiring so someone else can have a go, maybe?

    What should she do about her notice period though?

    Has she passed her probation period?

    Is she likely to be the last Queen?

    Let me clarify that. Will she be the UK's last female monarch?
    No. They changed the rules of succession so that the first born will take the throne, not the first born boy. Thus, even though it is Charles, William then George if George's first born is a girl then she would be Queen. I suspect that none of us will see that, however.
    Who knows what gender George will choose to identify with when he's older? It's the 21st century for god sake.
  • I reached the milestone age of 60 just over a month ago and its incredible to note that the Queen has been on the throne for the whole of my life and then some. All of those years she has been a constant, reassuring, regal and heart-warming presence through much tumult and change. I am all for royalty and the immediate royal family (although I do think the list of hangers on needs some pruning) - long live her Majesty, I hope she continues to reign in good health and happiness.
  • The Thames Flotilla was a righ old anticlimax.
  • God bless her and may she reign for many years to come.
  • God bless yer mam.

    And feck off and die anyone who says anything against her (note. Her NOT the rest of them...)

    I'd say congrats for living to 100, not for 63 years in the easiest gig going.

    I reckon undermining the achievements of old ladies is the "easiest gig going".

  • When they changed the law on gay marriage did it apply to the royal family?
    If young George gay married a bloke would we have two kings?
    How would it work?

    His husband would be a prince consort. I'm not sure what would happen if they adopted children and whether they would be in line for the throne? As I'm sure it would pass to his younger sister and her children..

    The wedding would be interesting. George would be head of the church, but wouldn't be allowed to get married in one.

    I'm sure if he was head of the church, he would be. Plus I'm hoping by that time attitudes towards gay marriage would be the same as attitudes to gay people are now, for the most part very positive, even from religious communities.

    But as the Royal family converted to Islam in 2028 and the boyfriend is Jewish I can still see a few difficulties :smile:
  • Adoption would be the tricky one, as I guess they aren't of 'royal blood' but are part of the royal family.

    Especially as after he was crowned king, he announce he was a trans woman.
    Would he/she have to be crowned again?
  • I love how this^ stuff is all ok in this thread, but Chizz' perfectly innocent questions earlier were hounded out of town

    These are all very important modern world secession issues Leuth.
  • Do you mean succession? Although perhaps you were referring to an LGBT secession, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_and_Lesbian_Kingdom_of_the_Coral_Sea_Islands
