I've seen it in a couple of different places this evening, once on here, that the Queen has died but it's not being reported till tomorrow.

I'm sceptical but apparently BBC sent out the tweet then deleted it.

So what do you think? Hoax or will we find out tomorrow?

A quick Google search indicates it's a hoax.

I doubt it. Her mum lived till over the age of 100 and lived almost entirely on gin martinis.

If the Queen had died then we'd know about it through the usual outlets, it's not a giant lizard induced conspiracy we live in, whereby the BBC know about it, tweeted it, I mean really? And then deleted the tweet under a D notice.

Seriously, facebook is the source no doubt?

To be fair it's all over the place. Was mentioned on here too.


As I said, I'm sceptical.

It's a common hoax generally, given how old she is.

To play Devils Advocate, which I love biggrin

Saying that, when she flew in the chopper. We couldn't see her, she's not been seen in public, nor has Prince Philip and tbh the rest of the family (bar Kate and William) are keeping a low profile which is odd given the time of year.

If she's not already died. She may be close.

Seems to be more than just a rumour to me.

Despite she's someone's mother and such...... I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope this is true.

What good does the monarchy do us anyways.

Hmmmmm

Perhaps they are waiting until 2017 to announce it because they're sick of people saying "OMG WTF I can't believe it, 2016 has been some year for deaths, can't wait for it to end" etc?

I truly hope not. I plan on being on two weeks leave when she goes. My respectful indifference was met with such scorn when Diana died and I can only assume the pressure to conform when The Queen dies will be enormous.

A complicated national loss her death would be but I couldn't pretend to be personally moved at her passing.

Hang in there, Lillibet.

So you think that if the Queen, gods bless her, dies, we won't have a monarch?

Hmmmm.

I don't think you've cracked this heredity lark.

No point in having an extra bank holiday for a few days. Coronation would be better in the summer too.
