Very very sad to note the end of a reign that coincided, for its first Jubilee years, with the greatest years of British professional wrestling, which we celebrate here.
We cannot claim her late Majesty as a high-profile fan of our beloved wrestling. She let her husband appear ringside at a time when the great and the good didn't quite know what to make of professional wrestling.
But she perhaps represented far more of her subjects than keen fans like ourselves. She was, we understand, a closet fan, who enjoyed her small screen sessions.
At thousands and thousands of wrestling presentations, the audience sang "God Save the Queen", and so she presided over pin falls and public warnings, suspended purses and near unmaskings.
She was with us, and we enjoyed that.
God Save the King.
For the possible benefit of those of you who live outside the UK (and of others) there is a Book of Condolence on the Buckingham Palace website. Not the same as using a pen, but it is there.
I would think that there are "proper" Books in British Embassies throughout the world.
After seeing her on T.V. shaking hands with the new P.M. on Tuesday, it was a great shock hearing the news on Friday that she had passed away.
R.I.P. ER
Remember the National Anthem before some championship matches. Seems quite recent but was probably forty years ago(at least}
A great loss to this nation
Total dedication from beginning at a tender age to the end at 96.
Over 70 years holding the reins .
We will never see the likes again.
RIP your Majesty.
Long live the King.
Such a sad loss, but she was a big fan of horse racing and when there was only two channels I have to wonder did she watch the wrestling or the rugby league after the racing. She is going to be a hard act to follow.
RIP Ma'am. Thank you for your selfless service to our nation. We will never see your like again.
Thank you Anglo Italian for raising this topic.
A very sad day. And like so many deaths one that we expected and then such a shock when it occurred.
We can't count her among our members but there are stories of her being a TV fan. And what else could a queen do on a Saturday afternoon?
As a good working class boy I was brought up to respect the monarchy and although I can see no really justifiable reason for its existence am in favour because I can see no better alternative.
It's a sad day indeed. I'm just wondering what's happening to those Christmas stamps they've printed, and has she recorded her Christmas speech?
Nice one Liz.
Long live the King.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II
I have never known a time when she wasn't our Monarch. She was ever present in our lives and she was a person who always seemed dignified and thoughtful.
This really is the end of an era.
God save our Queen.
Long live the King.
God save The Queen.
God save The King.
I Am NOT a Royalist!- I Am NOT a Monarchist!
But I AM Genuinely Saddened At The News of The Passing of Queen Elizabeth 11-
She is a Truly Amazing Person and Discharged her Sense of Duty to The End!
We are Witnessing a Huge-and Pivotal- Moment in World History!
Her Loss is Immense!!
