Yep, can at least pass my condolences. RIP. Now for the wall to wall media coverage, so may just keep the tv off.
 
Pretty momentous occasion in British, even world, history
No love for the monarchy but on a human level RIP and condolences to her family


Does the anthem instantly change to GSTK now? When's the next England team playing an international fixture?

When the BBC were playing it my brain was going wait what are the lyrics now?
 
RIP, I'm honestly not one for posting about famous people dying, but the Queen is an exception.
 
Truss is such a terrible speaker sounded like she was giving a school report. Trying not to smile as well.....

It's all worthless now.🤔

Seriously, apparently it'll take at least two years to get Charles head on bank notes and coins.

Cash, stamps and flags: how royal symbols will now change

Unpicking Queen Elizabeth’s name, image and iconography from public life will take some time
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

There are 4.5bn sterling bank notes in circulation with the Queen's face on them, worth a combined £80bn. Replacing them with alternatives featuring the head of the new monarch is likely to take at least two years. When the latest synthetic £50 notes were issued, the process of recall and replacement took the Bank of England 16 months. When the Queen acceded to the throne in 1952, the monarch was not featured on the banknotes. That changed in 1960 when the face of Elizabeth II began to appear on £1 notes in an image created by the banknote designer Robert Austin, which some criticised as too severe. An image of the new monarch would be agreed with Buckingham Palace. The Queen's head also features on some $20 banknotes in Canada, on coins in New Zealand, and on all coins and notes issued by the Eastern Caribbean central bank, as well as other parts of the Commonwealth.

Coin designs may be changed more slowly if historical precedent is followed: it was common to have different monarchs in your wallet as the changeover in coins happened organically rather than through recall.

Fairly generous helping of salt, but...
If Ukraine forces have reach Senkove, then they're up to the bank of the Oskil (and a major bridge), about 15 miles S of Kupyansk.
From the maps, that means they've cut Izyum off to the North - by train or (halfway decent) road

Further "reports" that they've reached Starovirivka - 10 miles West of Kupyansk.

Hopefully these are full on, supported maneuvoures, not sneeking in, taking a pic, and buggering off again; or civi.s in cosplay (ETA: scratch that, it's Russians "reporting" it on Telegram.

Looks like Starovirivka is Ukrainian again, Senkove is being pressed hard, whilst troops have arrived at Kupyansk.
Further South, and Ukrainian troops have moved out from Slovyansk (30 miles SE of Izyum). Unknown if that's to counter a Russian counter attack, or to press on with encircling Izyum itself.
