WildWill Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The Queen is dead, long live the King. The Queen is dead, god save the king., Prince Charles became King Charlie III when the Queen took her last breath. My condolences go to the people’s of Great Britain and the Commonwealth. At 96 years, I wonder how many sunspots shined down upon her during her life or her reign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I hope someday we will be beyond the point of kings and queens, and that nobility will fade into history. I know the current monarchy doesn't hold much, if any power, but the glory and fame put on a bloodline is something I wish we could move beyond. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I might agree with you on more, I do agree that this is not the time or the place to discuss such matters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She died 8 September, 2022, during Solar Cycle 25. Counting the cycle she was born '16', she lived to see 10 Solar cycles. Her reign began during Solar Cycle 18 and continued to present, Solar Cycle 25, 8 Solar Cycles. Queen Elizabeth II's reign spanned all of spaceflight, predating both Sputnik and Explorer 1. She was greatly beloved and a respected leader on the global stage. Testament to her life are the many tributes that have freely flowed since the time of her passing. Vale.

It seems incredible that she has been Queen for the whole of many people's lives. It is a measure of her commitment to the Country that she was still performing her duties a couple of days before her death. It will be very hard for King Charles III to follow that. Fun fact - We are now entering the second Carolean era. In terms of the number of sunspots during the Queen's life - my estimate would put it somewhere around 18,000, and during her reign - maybe 13,000 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Perkinton Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I am not a conscious monarchist, nor an anti monarchist - more accepting that monarchy is what we have always had & interested in the history - but as the cortege was passing not far from us en-route to Edinburgh today, we went to pay our respects to a life well lived in dignity. It was a surprisingly moving sight. Milnathort, Kinross-shire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
