I wouldn’t worry, immortal people can’t die (the proof is she hasn’t died yet
meaning she can never die!)

She’s been an invaluable diplomat, not just on behalf of the UK but for those
of the Commonwealth as well. Nonetheless, she’s had an extraordinary long life,
one full experiences most of us could scarcely imagine. Not really worried or
even sad for her, she’s no doubt ready to move on. But…
If there’s any worrying, it’s with what the people of the UK and those of the
Commonwealth might have when considering the quality of what remains of the Royal
Family, to carry on. Which of them could possibly fill the role as Monarch with
the style, grace and dedication in which she performed those duties for the last
70 years?
I think that with her eventual passing, another institution, one she’s represented
so well for most her life, will fade further. That might be considered “worrying”
for many. Our last conversation involving “strong women” Stuart

Just to add some perspective: her first Prime Minister after becoming Queen,
was Winston Churchill. Can you begin to imagine her life experiences?

From my understanding she did not care for Churchill. Am I worng?

Only minutes ago she asked if they were still valid.

| Officials will be busy deciding on what changes and when.
Currency, stamps and more will slowly be phased in, not much will change immediately.

I assume it will be a slow process. Although I wasn't around last time it
happened! New coins and notes are made every year when needed so I assume next
year they will be Charlie ones and old ones will stay in circulation for years.
In the 1950s very few new pennies were made as there were plenty in circulation
and the value of the bronze needed was more than a penny so most of them in use
during her first decade on the throne had George VI heads instead of hers.
