Generally a National Holiday is declared for a Presidential or ex-Presidential death…Jimmy’s the leader in the clubhouse for next to go, thou. Of course, he hasn’t gone boating in a while, so no more rabbit scares. Note that a declared National Holiday don’t mean crap to businesses, and most ignore it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 8 days after she dies, regardless of what day that falls on. There was a long form article recently about what happens when the queen dies. Apparently the government were becoming increasingly concerned about potential backlash if the flags in Downing Street aren’t lowered to half mast quickly enough after the death, so have now hired a 24/7 team to sit in Downing Street and immediately lower them when she does die. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 What other country (apart from Malawi when Hastings Banda was around) would have a 95 year old as head of state. Even Pope Benedict knew he was too auld and retired. It's a bit like the last days of Tito. Everyone was expecting him to pop off for years but were still surprised when it happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
