The Queen Mum?! Damn. She was the only one of the royal family I gave a damn about.
God rest her. The lady had a beautiful soul. |

Just curious, does this mean that Prince Charles will be promoted to the title of King of England, or is he not next on list in order? ....fullclip

She was a nice old lady who did a lot for her country, especially during WWII. Worth a lot more than a "BFD" (and the people thinking that), that's for sure.

Pure class. I'll feel the same when Reagan goes. Aside of Maggie Thatcher, there's not many politicians I respect anymore.

Ya know I heard that when Mother Theresa died, she owned two pair of shoes. Amazing, that! |

A decent and admirable human and Lady has passed.
Even more lamentable is that some would use the occasion to jest. Maybe nothing, even the death of a respected fellow human, is out of bounds nowadays. If so, we, as a civilization have lost [b]far[/b] more than just an individual. We, perhaps, have lost our respect for life. And thereby lost our souls. For SHAME! |

She was a shooter. Hope she's buried with a nice old English side by side.

Exactly what did she do? She was supposed to be an important symbol, but why and how?
I saw the same public response when JFK Jr died, and nobody could explain it (mainly because nobody could explain what "Camelot" was, because I had never had that growing up) |

Amongst other reasons, I believe she was well respected was that her husband George Vl was not in line for the throne – the Duke of Wndsor was raised to become king – they were knid of dropped in it. Three years after came WW2.
Throughout the Blitz she and her husband refused to leave Buckingham Palace, despite the fact that it was an easy target. Something like GWB refusing to be scared out of the White House under the same circumstances. Nowadays, we might regard that as stupid, but, in 1939 it was seen for what it was – a symbol of defiance by a nation that was facing the greatest evil of the last century against overwhelming odds. I assume that the smart-assed comments on this thread can only be the result of ignorance. If not, then I can only imagine that they are merely a bunch of f*cking assholes! |
