BlackcowboyBS Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Yes truly a sad day and turn of an era! May her Mayesty rest in piece, now laying besides her beloved husband. My thoughts are with the british people and the family of H.R.M. But just one remark to the theme starter, Louis XIV was even longer on his throne than ER II. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 From a phaleristic point of view of the Orders of British India have now ceased to exist, as she was the last living recipient of the Order of the Crown of India; and unless there is a 100+ year old St Paul's choir boy lstill living she was probably the last living recipient of the 1935 Jubilee and possibly the 1937 Coronation medal, certainly the last recipient of the George V and George VI royal family jewelled decoration.

Paul Re black Cowboy, Louis XIV was only 4 when he became king, EIIr was 25 Paul, interesting facts, indeed! Thanks for them. Coming back to Louis, but formally he was king, so he sat longer on his throne than H.R.M ER II. PS: I really hoped that she was able to break his record, but I guess Covid and the aftermath of it have cost H.R.M. two years of her life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I think the loss of her partner of 73 years was the beginning of the end. She went down hill rapidly after his dearh. P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Bob, I think you have confused Edward with Andrew. While Edward is as much use as a dead haddock on an umberella tip, he was not involved with Epsrein, I agree the ginger whinger and his appaling wife were extremely vexacious to HMQ.
