Surely she must be close to knocking off. Who will replace her? will you celebrate or mourn? never really given it much thought tbh. I'm really not looking forwards to all the gay ceremonies and stuff though, guaranteed to ruin TV for a good few weeks.

(Taken from here)

The current Royal Line of Succession is:

1. HRH The Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales (b. 1948)

2. HRH Prince William of Wales, eldest son of The Prince Charles (b. 1982)

3. HRH Prince Henry of Wales, (Prince Harry)younger son of The Prince Charles (b. 1984)

4. HRH The Prince Andrew, The Duke of York, second son of HM Queen Elizabeth II (b. 1960)

5. HRH Princess Beatrice of York, elder daughter of The Prince Andrew (b. 1988)

6. HRH Princess Eugenie of York, younger daughter of The Prince Andrew (b. 1990)

7. HRH The Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex, youngest son of HM Queen Elizabeth II (b. 1964)

8. Viscount Severn, James Alexander Philip Theo Mountbatten-Windsor, son of HRH The Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex (b.2007)

9. Lady Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor, daughter of HRH The Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex (b. 2003)

10. HRH The Princess Anne, The Princess Royal, only daughter of HM Queen Elizabeth II (1950)

11. Mr Peter Phillips, son of The Princess Anne (b. 1977)

12. Miss Zara Phillips, daughter of The Princess Anne (b. 1981)

13. David Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley, son of The Princess Margaret (b. 1961)

14. The Honorable Charles Armstrong Jones (b. 1999), son of David, Viscount Linley

15. Margarita Armstrong-Jones (b. 2002), daughter of David, Viscount Linley

16. The Lady Sarah Chatto, daughter of The Princess Margaret (b. 1964)

But I do remember hearing once that if Philip reaches a certain age before the queen pops her clogs then he won't be eligible for the throne but I'm not 100% on that.

Prince charles takes over, there will be a huge funeral in london and possibly a national day of mourning. Which means we may get a day off work! Thumbs Up

TBH its not something I care about much, the whole monarchy thing is out dated and the only reason they are still around is that the bring fat american tourists and their mony over.

Let's hope it happens on a sunny day, then we get an extra day of bike riding.

On a related note, what happens to the national anthem? Do we get a new one, or does the existing one simply become soppy and redundant on a higher level?

Tune remains the same except all the footballers will mouth the word king instead of queen at international matches.

Just a point, this isn't going to happen for about another 40 years, people. Her mother was something like 844 years old before she died. They either must have access to the best cryogenical-sleep-pods or they are androids. Or vampires. Or Highlander. Or Knightrider. Or Peter Griffin.

Not sure in terms of the royal family, but i'd say it will be used as an excuse to change to the Euro (if we haven't already done so) rather than redesign all our current currency.

Unlikely IMO. They will just use the same coinage as now, and bring in redesigned coins a bit at a time. I remember when I was a lad (bearing in mind I'm only 34) using 1 and 2 shilling coins instead of 5 and 10p pieces, and they still had the Queens dad on the back. I think the euro would be considered on more political grounds than her maj popping of the coil...

Yep she will have another 30 years lift and out life some of us here. Thats what money does for you, good life, dosnt have to do anything and good health care. I will be dead probably before her.

I dont think I would mourn, I dont know her personally and wouldn't really care, she had a good life and a longer one than my own grandmothers.

Charley would probably be like his mum and not give a dam anyway, they dont do a lot.
