The Last Days, Death, Lying in State and Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II Part 2

Curryong · September 18, 2022, 05:28:02 PM

Right. I?m watching Reuters too, saw Biden and Jill arriving by a different entry, hand in hand. It seems to be taking a while for everyone to get there and eat. Let?s hope nobody has a few drinkies before the meal while their waiting. This would all be much better with a commentary as well, but I suppose that?s not allowed. I recognised a few royals but nobody else.

I?ve just realised. The old man who had the walking frame and was a bit surly was ex King Juan Carlos, with Sofia presumably. Didn?t recognise either. And the ones arriving by car were Jordanian royals.

Canapes and drinks reception (Daily Mail), I'd go for dinner at 8:30 p.m. once out of there. London has the most michelin star restaurants in the world (66)

Apparently most of the royals are now present and correct. I hope poor old King Harald managed the steps. I saw the King and Queen of Bhutan and the Japanese Emperor (I think.) Looked like him. He was alone. And the three Netherlands royals are present as well. I saw Macron and wife enter. Did they come by car, I went to get a snack and missed it?

It?s understandable that King Constantine won?t attend. He?s in as bad a physical shape as Juan Carlos, whom I just saw gripping on to a helpful aide?s hand like crazy in order to walk at the reception.

Yes, a sign. Remarkable that there have been three such sightings since the Queen?s death. Rainbows are quite a rare phenomenon.

Buckingham Palace double Rainbow
Windsor Castle Rainbow
Edinburgh procession Struck with a Ray of Light

Then a meteor ''The UK Meteor Network confirmed that over 800 people reported witnessing the 'astronomical sighting' at 9pm on Wednesday across Scotland and Northern Ireland.Videos capturing the celestial phenomenon were taken at the same time from several different locations, showing how huge and bright the 'fireball' was.

And now another double rainbow over Buckingham Palace today.

And lastly Monday 26th September, every 70 years (Queen's reign) Jupiter will be the closest to earth, we won't need a telescope.

Astronomers who can't wait for this event cansee Jupiter move into opposition on Sept. 26, 2022, when the gas giant will be closer to our planet than it has been for seven decades.
