Fack sake got about 600 quid lying around, surely you get a week or two to cash up?!
They're all being shut down. The nation's too sad.
Flight on its way to Aberdeen carrying seven members of the royal household, expected to land in around 10 minutes, reports BBC News, having taken off from RAF Northolt.
They will be off the weekend after next at least. I can't see how they can have football matches with all the police they will need to patrol the capitol on the day of the funeral.
I've had similar messages.
Something I haven't realised, why is the queen dying in Scotland?
It's clearly the superior of the home nations. Second Wales. Third Cornwall.
She spends her summers there.
I’d expect them to be arriving at Balmoral in about an hour or so
If the queen dies in Scotland by law they can never become independent.
I see, so there's no deeper/traditional meaning to the location apart from it being her summer residence?
We plan on keeping her body hostage until independence is granted.
200 IQ play from Sturgeon
It wouldn't take an hour to fly to Scotland.
No.
Surely it's something magical, having the head of your oppressor decease on your holy ground gives you the spiritual upper hand
The plane is 10 mins out from Aberdeen. Balmoral is just over an hour from Aberdeen, with a police escort it’ll probably be about 50 mins or so…
…so about an hour.
96 is no age to die.
The least sexy number.
Queen looks very frail the last public pictures honestly
Couldn't they get there quicker by helicopter?
At least one set of fixtures would be cancelled for sure, out of respect. I heard that it was 12 days last time out and that was for a much shorter serving monarch.
Was going to save my 5,000th post for something momentous like us getting bought... but this might do.
It's always bad to lose your wicket one boundary away from a century.
Well, 96-year-olds rarely look like brimming with youthful strength.
Yeah true. My peasant brain just assumed car. But yeah, heli seems more logical.
There seems to be a number of helis waiting at the airport
Instead of cancelling fixtures, can the players all play in a plain black strip with Elizabeth on the back (like they did with black lives matter)?
He's the real national hero.
Cant they wait until the next international break?
BBC got the flight trackers out. We're all muppets at heart 
Not generally but sometimes people don't look so frail, the decline is usually fast.
My grandad died at 97 and at 96 he still looked healthy, then he got a chest infection and he dropped weight rapidly and died around 2 months after.
The queen looks like she's having a lot of medical treatment like her hands and she's lost considerable weight since her last public outings.
Sky recon they are going by car so what do I know.
