That entirely depends on your employer. In most cases, I'd imagine none.

I really don't want the Queen to die.
I see people on here asking this quite a bit, and a thread in the showbiz forum where someone is predicting her death on New years eve! |

![]() You saw it here first. By the way, if the police are looking at this afterwards I had nothing to do with it. |

I'm going to predict that Charles goes before his mum.

The shock of finally getting it could very well do him in.

If I were his son I'd be pointing out that he's already past the retirement age. He could always use the austerity excuse and say the country just can't afford to have two coronations within a decade or so of each other

I think we should just hand it to the chavvy George, he would get a chance to break the Queens record, and it would be great to have a child King, imagine the Kings speech and him moaning Father christmas didn't get him enough stuff ?

Can't say I would care particularly. Never met her, don't know her, means nothing to me.

Charles will become king immediately, but won't be crowned for about a year. If the Queen dies during the night, it will be announced on the BBC at 8.00am, and I belive all comedy shows will be pulled for a certain number of days. I think the stock exchange will close for the day as well.

There will be people on this forum wondering why anybody is grieving for someone they don't know personally. That much is totally predictable.

I hope they don't expect shops to close and the country to grind to a halt. It's the modern day, there is no need for that kind of thing. My workplace won't close down, so I don't see why a shop should, if people are too sad to shop then it's them who shouldn't bother going shopping, but some of us still need to eat, we can't all survive on grief porn and a 25 part Daily Mail pullout about her life. I just hope the country doesn't go fully mental like they did when Diana died. It's the fakeness and all the crap about "the nation is in mourning" and "she had great respect from the entire nation" and "the whole country needs to pay their respects" that I can't stand. It's the assumption we all have to somehow care and acknowledge the event.
When she dies, I'll do the same thing I do every day. Go to work, come home, eat, watch TV (unless it's all pointlessly cancelled-you can't force people to be sad) and then go to bed. I may even leave the country for a week or so to miss out the initial tidal wave of tears which will practically flow out of the media. |

If what has happened in the past is anything to go by, in the immediate aftermath of an announcement, hundreds of copies of a manual that few know of, but has been ready for decades but constantly updated, will be distributed to all parties that have any part to play in the funeral arrangements.
This manual outlines in great detail every facet of the procedures involved in the death of a sovereign from the moment she dies to after her interment in Frogmore. Previously, military motor-cycle dispatch riders have been tasked with the job of getting the copies to the intended recipients but I would wonder if there are enough couriers for the task, these days |
