On This Day In History......2022

[ToraToraTora]

Our longest serving monarch Queen Elizabeth II passed away, elevating King Charles III and his Queen to the throne.
LONG LIVE THE KING.

[Stableford]

When you say "Long" live the King, what does that look like? If average life expectancy is anything to go by he's got about 6 years.

[ToraToraTora]

how long did his mum live? Grand mum? I think we can expect a higher than average.

His dad lived a very long life too. Was he 99 when he died? Something like that.

[Stableford]

That's true, he's got good genes, but with all the anxiety and handwringing over climate change, plus the plant based diet....

Not many people new about this TTT Thanks for telling us.

Well none of them have to start phoning the Dr's surgery at 8 hoping against hope to at least perhaps get a telephone appointment in the next 3 weeks, ain't surprising they manage to live a long time really is it..

"That's true, he's got good genes,"

No waiting lists either.

A very appropriate post for your slot, TTT. The media today is full of titbits about her late Majesty, only to be expected. Last night I watched 2 programmes on the iPlayer:
The Queen and I
The Queen and Us
Both made decent "newsreels" and I enjoyed them , not having viewed either before. Made me quite reflective.
