The Queen is under medical supervision and family have been informed and started making their way to Balmoral. Certainly not looking good.

That was pretty much the case with the Duke of York as well so it's following a very similar projectory.

Maybe read the room. You don't have to be a fan of the Royal family but this woman is 96 years old and has dedicated her life to service. Even if you detest what she and the Royal family stand for a little bit of decorum and respect goes a long way.

It's huge news if she is close to the end. She's been a constant among everything else that's gone on. A massive figure for the country. I think more people will find they get a tear in the eye than thought they would.

My friends and I were just saying on a chat group that it’s quite strange in many ways how the death (whenever it happens) of an old lady we’ve never met will a) be a shock and b) impact people.

For so many people she’s been one of life’s constant things.

Over the years I've had mixed views on the Royal Family. But I think the Queen has done us proud on ballance. It's also true that they do boost the UK economy and we need that now.

I wish her well but if she does go downhill I think we all agree she's had, as they say, "a good innings".

Charles has a huge act to follow and I often think,perhaps William might do a better job.

I would normally agree with you but the wording of this is very different. The BBC currently have live updates on the app. Words like the Queen is currently being kept comfortable, The family have been informed, Her children and grandchildren are either making their way to Balmoral or preparing to do so. I think this has been prepared for announcement very soon.

I think it's OK to bring feelings about the Royal family into this as it's an emotional subject particularly if we lose the Queen which we are going to. I do think however it should be done as respectfully as possible.

I think it can wait until after though. Like I'm not a fan and would have somethings to say when she is gone in any threads or discussions about her legacy. But I don't think while she is potentially on her deathbed is the time for that

Time for a change, seems anachronistic in the modern age to have a person of such importance there only because of birth. Added to which having a UK monarch as head of state for the likes of Australia and Jamaica just seems wrong. Queen has bee amazing but time for a discussion.

Employers will not be obligated to give staff a day off, though it will be a Day of National Mourning and a two minute silence held across Britain.

I have just found this on the Internet about what would happen on the day of the Queen's funeral.

I don't think she has gone, I do think they know is imminent and once the immediate family have been informed the rest of us will know. Royal family do not normally delay these kind of announcements unless there is very good reason.

I don't think it's mandated but I think a lot will. Quite a few did the same on the day of princess Diana's funeral.

Does that mean businesses closing for the day kinda stuff?

Shit. I really hope not. But “optional” normally happens if it means people get time off paid. Let’s hope

Employers will not be obligated to give staff a day off, though it will be a Day of National Mourning and a two minute silence held across Britain.

I have just found this on the Internet about what would happen on the day of the Queen's funeral.

Don't forget this is well planned for and the code name is London bridge.

Apparently they have one for Charles called Menai bridge "

Every single one of the senior royals including the children have a plan and they are all named after London bridges. X

Not nice.... she didn't choose to be born a royal, she didn't choose to be the queen.

She did what was expected of her and although I'm not a royal supporter, she done a bloody good job.

apart from all that, at the end of the day, she is still just a human being who is almost at the end of her life

Give your head a wobble! Whatever your personal opinion is of our monarchy, and you are entitled to it, this lady has family. She is a human being, a mother, grandmother & great grandmother and as such, the same as every person on earth, she and her family deserve respect and compassion at this time.

Have a heart. Take away the fact that they're the Royal Family and look at it from their view. There is a Mother, Grandmother, Auntie, Great Auntie, friend to many including current and past staff, who is not good at all. They must be so concerned and full of emotion. As for our Queen, nobody can imagine how she's feeling right now.

I've been there with loved ones at and near the end of their lives. It's heartbreaking.

You don't put all the Royals in 1 place due to a massive security risk and target unless its serious.

Also, notice they have not mentioned any children attending. You take a child to an unwell person, but not a dying person.

I think it’s really sad seeing all the news readers in black, prepared for the news. Her Majesty the Queen served her country without complaining, as an example of duty and discipline.

Possibly the last national institution that hasn't fallen into disrepair, disregard or distrust.

I don't think we're remotely ready for her loss.

I've just Google there and it doesn't actually happen every day.

The current schedules are:

August - May: The Queen's Guard change on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays

June - July: The Queen's Guard change daily

It wouldn't have happened today anyway as it's a Thursday.
