Broadcasts interrupted to announce the death of Queen Elizabeth II

"Just say the Queen has died...ffs" "THE QUEEN HAS DIED...FFS"

No lol

The most impactful death was Josip Broz Tito's, our president's funeral remains the largest funeral by number of foreign politicical attendees ever recorded.

No

Not at all haha

it really wasnt

You had one job. Just the one.

Can you imagine how big the t*rd in her p*nt*es was when that broadcast was cut off? Hee hee hee hee hee . . .

Lol, actually 70 years

I get it though. You want absolute certainty. Imagine announcing it if she hadn't died.

Channel 5 didn't do much better. Amateurish and embarrassing.

Huw ?

@D Everyone who has got an order or a medal has got it for doing their job perfectly

​@D you're not perfect then :p

@@DS9TREK no one is

This wont age well

I’ll never forget that, either. It was on television coverage here that the Queen asked her own Guards to play our anthem at Buckingham Palace. You could see people outside the Palace, many Americans, in tears, and so appreciative. A true gesture of solidarity. Queen Elizabeth is missed. 🇺🇸

I heard that there were 67 from the U.K. 😢💔

What makes it more special is that the Star Spangled Banner is about us fighting England in the War of 1812

Like what? you're own Government did it.

Oh woop de woop ! you a greedy Betty fan now ?.

Nah, they found out a good while before, they were just waiting on the official statement. They are given time to put on their black tie etc.

@@ImNotBeingFunnythey were told to put on the black uniform to be prepared in case so I think they did find out that very second unfortunately

​@@sameehanadeem6411they weren't wearing black, that would be disrespectful...it went to a cutaway and he was in his black tie when they came back, that's literaly how I knew she had passed, because he changed his tie.

Same here. The UK will never be the same. QEII was paramount in opening up the family, charity work and public appearances

She never did.......... that's why she commanded respect and admiration

Why do you say you're not a royalist? You clearly are. You recognise and value the role of the monarchy. The UK is just one of a a group of lucky European nations which have a monarch - and they are, without exception, the most democratic, the most liberal, the most economically, socially and politically progressive and forward thinking nations on the planet. I'm proud to be pro monarchy and stand shoulder to shoulder with millions of Danes, Spaniards, Belgians, Swedes, Dutch etc etc. Rather a constitutional King or Queen than have to put up with Putin or Trump or any other 'elected' head of state.

VOTE REPUBLIC UK ( Not My £52,000 per HOUR King ! )

​@@richardmurphy4520it's a fact that elected heads of state cost more than a monarchy and generate much less income dumb ass.

That one was definitely scary...

Why?

the fact that the logo was falling and then just cut to it being borked in the corner

VOTE REPUBLIC UK ( Not My King ! )

@richardmurphy You’re not doing your cause any good by thrusting it upon a grieving grandson.

@@ben-9123 What you know about any " cause " could be scribed on the back of a postage stamp you backward, brainwashed from birth royalist simpleton.

​@richardmurphy4520 a certain Oliver Cromwell pretty much turned off republicanism in the UK proper, even without the arguments that Cromwell was a divine right King in all but name and/or some consider his government was a military dictatorship

@@chrismc410 It was a half baked " put up " with royal collusion in clandestine vain attempt to deflect attention from royal dodge pottery. Cromwell was aware of this, and why they topped him after the fake flag revolt. The REAL republican revolution won't play ball with these parasite monarch's, lest they also find their heads in a basket.

Yes we were in mourning for ages. Fly high Elizabeth II.

Really? none of this happened here in Scotland. People just went about their lives as normal

Yh I remember watching it N i did not know if it was true N I could not speak N did not know what to say N yh I'm a brit

@@jakubrks That's because Scotland is a cesspit

Not to be rude no wonder where danny aarons got his postur from

That wasn't the only death that broke me. There was that of my grandma just 3 weeks after the Queen. On top of being paralyzed and demented by a stroke in her 70s (which made my life go downhill since then already), in 2021, she got COVID from her caretaker, but she managed to pull through thanks to the vaccine. The following year, however, she suffered respiratory and heart failure at the same time, which turned into a fatal condition by Saturday that ended up killing her on the same day. My mother couldn't even go around (only in the early morning and late afternoon) because she had just come back from her cancer operation and, to make things worse than bad, she was forced by her heartless brother (my uncle, who recently cheated on his wife!!!) to make the funeral preparations. Just a month later, our dog Daphne had an aggressive stomach ache that almost killed her, but it was all caused by the food we were giving him - that was not the first time it occurred in her life. She's fine now and eating the right kibbles. But that moment was terrible. Age only makes things worse (this year, she turned 13 - born in 2010): she has been diagnosed with cataracts, a heart murmur, and I'm even more upset than my mother, on top of the Coronavirus and the whole Ukraine Vs. Russia & Hamas/Palestine war scare. I think I'm losing my family... S-s-sorry, I'll need to work this out somehow! P.S. I also have a female cat. She's doing fine like Daphne, except that she's FIV positive...

Same. I remember being told she 'fell ill' and I just knew it was her time. Can't believe how quick it's been though since Charles has been crowned. Christmas was only a few months ago and now we've just had it again. Yikes

March 2024 here and it's so strange hearing her passing even now

​@@Malick-ix9ioConvid?😂

​@@Malick-ix9ioWhat Vaccine? u for real?

Not only in UK, BBC is role model for every television in Europe.

What utter nonsense

ITV might learn a thing or two.

​@@EVENo94 World actually

That was the famed Philadelphia Orchestra (American). I thought it was very touching they canceled their program and instead played Elgar’s Nimrod and GSTQ. It reminded me of when the Queen requested her Guards play our Star Spangled Banner in front of Buckingham Palace on 9/11. Respect and solidarity from friends. She is missed. 🇺🇸

I can’t believe it’s almost a year already, I am very proud of Woody.EXE for reigning this long and I didn’t think he would. September 8th also marks one year anniversary of the start of our new reign. Still can’t get over how proud I am

Dude relax. She lived too long on our stolen wealth. About time

​@@MrBITSianwhat did she actually steal from you.!!!

@@MrBITSian Greedy Bettys better off dead.

Same here. I'm American and still feel the sadness. Seeing videos of her during her last few days and how frail she had become since the Jubilee is heartbreaking. I'm just happy she lived long enough to enjoy the grand party the people of England and the world threw for her on her 75th anniversary.

Me to so sad

Same here! 😢

@@99fruitbat94 Wow, that's awesome! I'm doing a memorial embroidery for her.

@@annabellelee4535 You might not guess this , but She was tiny ❤️ Really short in height . I was only 12 years old and I was the same height 👍 And I am not tall . Tiny Lady . Massive presence ❤️

@@99fruitbat94 That reminded me of photos of the Queen with Charles. He was a head taller than she, and when he's with his sons, they're about a head taller than their father. I think Catherine is a bit taller than Charles. I always thought the Queen was beautiful

Queen Elizabeth the eleventh? It is 2 x LETTER I, not number 1.

Pity greedy Betty employed Mossad to have Diana dispatched though eh ...

Yes it was. It meant even more because it was the only time in Queen Elizabeth's entire regin(possibly in history)a forgien country anthem was play on their royal command, royal and military band, on Sovereign property. As an American it was so thoughtful, classy, dignified, subtle, humbling, loving, meaningful and royal forgien tribute I saw and I didn't sleep for over 8 days after I started watching before the first tower fell.

We all have to die...It is called "The Circle of Life" Some people get 1 Hour and some people get 110 Years. It is the only thing we all share in common.

He was massively upset.. Great compassion and kudos given to him for it.

I got so choked listening to him. He was so professional despite the fact you could clearly see he was emotional. Evening with rolling news, an announcement this big can still come as a shock. As a side note, Kirsty Young’s emotional sign off tribute on the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral was beautiful as well.

I don't think so im not for a small organisation that wants to erase it all. Charles isn't my favourite to be King. I'd favour William more.

More like she was 96

She was 96 mate

Queen mother was 101, maybe it was the age, but more is that she just couldn't go on without the rock of her life, her soulmate and the other half of her heart. We are all humans and some just can't live with so much grief and pain in the heart. Even if they are royals. Just like the Queen mother couldn't go on without her daughter Margaret. Women are always first mother, then other.

She was 96 you know!

I agree, but it’s not Mary Nightingale’s fault, it’s ITN’s fault for not telling her quick enough.

Don't like what she stood for but I can respect someone who dedicates her life to what she believes is right.

Nonce lover

Does he 🤣👍

@@furq3995 I stand by this for a couple of reasons. First, I didn't know about the scandal around him. No one did. And like the lunatic entertainment media, the guy's work is separate from how he conducts himself on a personal level. Second, there's a LOT of noise in regards of his mental health. If Huw has done this (guilty until proven otherwise), he seems to have some very deep mental issues that puts his ability to make at least reasonable decisions regarding behavior questionable. I don't condone his behavior in any way, should he be guilty, but he's allowed the benefit of innocence until proven otherwise. We do too much of that in the US.

@@Mattlawton-ft6ew See my response to furq3995 above. With this other caveat. One of the people named in the coverage of this scandal has disowned her mother's accusations. I live in the US & we jump to conclusions when it comes to accusations of this nature. I thought the Brits were more reasonable than we are. Finally, the work of a public figure needs to be separate from the person's behaviors or crimes. Different sphere, but let's take a look at a more serious situation. Paul Gadd/Gary Glitter was proven to be a far more despicable creature in a court of law. And yet, as revolting as I find him, I still quite enjoy "Rock & Roll Parts 1 & 2". Were it possible for another artist to do a decent cover of it, I'd gladly promote the cover.

I imagine ‘calm and gentle’ is just how the boys describe him too 😂

The codeword was "London Bridge is Down". Yes there would have been a delay between actual death and notification. However at least in the base of media outlets, every one of the UK outlets has what amounts to a "break glass in case of royal death" kit, with black suit&ties, up-to-date image collections of the queen, music, updated articles, etc. So they get notified, and immediately switch over to mourning, which includes wearing black, sad music, no advertisement, etc.

Half As Interesting broke down the process pretty well. The protocol for London Bridge Is Down is a pretty drawn out operation; by the time the news were given the official go ahead to announce her death, it would’ve already been a few hours since her passing. But you’re right, the faces of guards, the flag positions on the mast, and the earlier report of the Queen being under medical supervision was more than enough to predict the ominous report ahead.

Once her family were called to her bedside it was to be expected the Queen was not going to survive. I know BBC newscasters were said to keep a black outfit in thier office so one could be on hand in case of events like this . Can't speak for ITV, Sky news and Channels 4 and 5 but i would guess it would be the same . The Queen was 96 and getting weaker. Her death was not a total surprise

I found out at 2pm, I would expect that it was in-fact an hour or so earlier.

Oh yes the Queen died MUCH EARLIER!! 4 YEARS EARLIER!!! to be exact
