Technically, compassing the monarch's death (including predicting the timing) is a form of treason. Peopme have been executed for it, tho not recently. |

7 family members just landed at Aberdeen so it may not be announced at 4 |
Aren't these 'household' rather than family? A few favourites of her servants perhaps giving comfort as she fades... |  |

Yes there will, but you will be chained to a wall and unable to reach them as they sit on a saucer dangling an inch from your nose. |  |

The BBC coverage is getting a bit painful.
Seems they know something and keep slipping into the past tense then correcting and saying there is nothing to indicate there is any change from this morning.

Even the on screen sign language person on BBC news channel is wearing all black, as well as all the onsite reporters |  | | |

Yes, hearing similar. Schedules certainly being cleared for the evening. |
Also hearing similar from one of my best mates who is pals with a few fleet street journos and someone who works for the Met (apparently they've all had leave cancelled). And another friend who has been briefed who works in PR for Network Rail | | | |

We will find out at the same time as the BBC so this was plainly BS.
The PM is the first to find out, followed by the cabinet. Within 10 minutes all government flags are lowered to half mast, which should be synchronised with a Press Association news flash. |  |

Indeed. I've switched back on (still unpacking and shifting stuff around in my new flat) and the 'news' is still the same as lunchtime.
And yeah, I noticed a presenter talking about a younger royal saying "He WAS very fond of her." | |

Someone said on there (BBC) around lunchtime that she always 'had' such a warm smile.
I tried not to read much into it as people tend to say the wrong things sometimes but it did make me wonder if they knew something then.
Not that it would make any difference of course. |  |

Unlikely to use the present tense there though in reality. |  | | |

Maybe.
I tend to speak of people who are alive in the present tense myself, but having witnessed the standards in journalism decline the way they have not much is surprising anymore. | |

That sounds more like it.
All the people staring at their TVs thinking an announcement will be made reality TV style seem to be missing the point a bit.
At least for the sake of a bit of class you'd hope so. | |

I don't wish her any harm whatsoever but it's going to be a media nightmare.
It was quite bad with Phillp.
This will be Diana on steroids. |
This is definitely a moment when I'm glad to be living overseas | | | |
