  4. Elizabeth II, in full Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, officially Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, (born April 21, 1926, London, England—died September 8, 2022, Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland), queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from February 6, 1952, to September 8, 2022. In 2015 she surpassed Victoria to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Early life Queen Elizabeth, King George VI, Princess Margaret, and Princess Elizabeth Princess Elizabeth Elizabeth was the elder daughter of Prince Albert, duke of York, and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. As the child of a younger son of King George V, the young Elizabeth had little prospect of acceding to the throne until her uncle, Edward VIII (afterward duke of Windsor), abdicated in her father’s favour on December 11, 1936, at which time her father became King George VI and she became heir presumptive. The princess’s education was supervised by her mother, who entrusted her daughters to a governess, Marion Crawford; the princess was also grounded in history by C.H.K. Marten, afterward provost of Eton College, and had instruction from visiting teachers in music and languages. During World War II she and her sister, Princess Margaret Rose, perforce spent much of their time safely away from the London blitz and separated from their parents, living mostly at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and at the Royal Lodge, Windsor, and Windsor Castle. Early in 1947 Princess Elizabeth went with the king and queen to South Africa. After her return there was an announcement of her betrothal to her distant cousin Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten of the Royal Navy, formerly Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. The marriage took place in Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947. On the eve of the wedding her father, the king, conferred upon the bridegroom the titles of duke of Edinburgh, earl of Merioneth, and Baron Greenwich. They took residence at Clarence House in London. Their first child, Prince Charles (Charles Philip Arthur George), was born November 14, 1948, at Buckingham Palace. Accession to the throne Elizabeth II Elizabeth II: proclamation Elizabeth II Queen Elizabeth II Elizabeth II In the summer of 1951 the health of King George VI entered into a serious decline, and Princess Elizabeth represented him at the Trooping the Colour and on various other state occasions. On October 7 she and her husband set out on a highly successful tour of Canada and Washington, D.C. After Christmas in England she and the duke set out in January 1952 for a tour of Australia and New Zealand, but en route, at Sagana, Kenya, news reached them of the king’s death on February 6, 1952. Elizabeth, now queen, at once flew back to England. The first three months of her reign, the period of full mourning for her father, were passed in comparative seclusion. But in the summer, after she had moved from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace, she undertook the routine duties of the sovereign and carried out her first state opening of Parliament on November 4, 1952. Her coronation was held at Westminster Abbey on June 2, 1953. Beginning in November 1953 the queen and the duke of Edinburgh made a six-month round-the-world tour of the Commonwealth, which included the first visit to Australia and New Zealand by a reigning British monarch. In 1957, after state visits to various European nations, she and the duke visited Canada and the United States. In 1961 she made the first royal British tour of the Indian subcontinent in 50 years, and she was also the first reigning British monarch to visit South America (in 1968) and the Persian Gulf countries (in 1979). During her “Silver Jubilee” in 1977, she presided at a London banquet attended by the leaders of the 36 members of the Commonwealth, traveled all over Britain and Northern Ireland, and toured overseas in the South Pacific and Australia, in Canada, and in the Caribbean.
  5. It sounds like a Demon attack. My advice is to keep a Bible near your bed and to read through the book of Psalms for encouragement. ☠️

  7. Confucius say tall man change lightbulb. Short man walks around in the dark. ☠️
  8. Roe Vs Wade? How is the video relevant to the debate? ☠️
  9. Agreed. I know there’s a nifty window breaker that is used in some buses to break windows so people can escape. Not sure if it would work under water. Guessing when someone ends up in water it all depends on how fast they were travelling. How hard they hit the water surface and how deep they o before they are able to start doing anything to escape. Depending on wether or not they are still conscious or have blacked out on impact. Also, the airbag may get in the way if it is deployed on impact. A nice list f things to spend time pondering 🤔.
  10. I’ve often thought of a post zombie apocalypse. Where almost all the world population have died. Leaving me in a vast almost empty world. Where I could travel and do whatever I felt like. Could be fun. 🦊
  11. I’ve studied a range of beliefs. Including Wicca. Just keep in mind the Wiccan Rede. “an ye harm none, do what ye will” Revenge is not something people should do. It will always turn back three fold against you. 🦊
  12. Autocorrect strikes again? I’m guessing you meant “bridge” and not “fridge”. Getting out of a submerged vehicle is a lot harder than one might think. The water pressure against the Windows makes it dangerous faculties to break the glass. Than the water rushing in would work against you getting out. Maybe drive with some scuba gear in the backseat?
  13. A stomach wound is considered the most slow and painful way to die as the stomach acid would digest your intestines. Curious way to imagine dying. 🦊
