I thought it would be funny if someone learned this information from a post here.

It's going to take some time to get used to 'His Majesty' and 'God Save The King'.   I was a fairly young kid at primary school when we celebrated the Silver Jubilee, for the vast majority of us we've never known another Monarch.

The establishment has had its dark days, its scandals and its haters - but it seems there are still enough willing for that institution to continue.

You want to party over the death of a 96 year old lady, a mother, grandmother and great grandmother to her family, who on a personal level are all distraught with grief at the moment.

Moderating this site is always difficult - especially when the easy course of action would be just to remove comments - but that would be a direct act of censorship and a removal of freedom of speech.

We all have our own perceptions of the British Royal Family, some based on what we may have read in the media (reputable or otherwise), others will have served in Her Majesty's forces or maybe received the benefits of the Prince's Trust or Duke of Edinburgh's Awards.  There will be those whose families have suffered at the hands of our royal ancestors' and their quest to expand The British Empire.   Those who have negative views as well as those positives.

Together as the Peefans Family we are a community. We're made of individuals and enjoy free will and freedom of speech - within site rules.

Please all ensure that everything you post meets the standards expected -   Please consider and respect the views of others, We do not allow any abuse towards other members or groups, Don't argue with other members and of course Try to leave the site in a better way than you found it.
