Queen Elizabeth II visited Manchester many times during her 70-year reign.

As well as seeing moments of triumph, celebration and joy, she witnessed some of the city's darkest days.

In 2017 the Queen comforted survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing in which 22 people were killed.

She spent time at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital with young people who were seriously injured in the attack. She also thanked medical staff for their dedication and care.

Great opportunity for our country to say goodbye to inherted wealth and privilege and all that goes with it. Charles could stand to be elected as King.

Personally, I wish Charles all the very best, and I hope his reign will be nearly as long as King Edward 5th. Although maybe not quite as long…….

Edward V was a little boy about 12 or 13 years old (supposedly one of the princes in the tower of London)


Obviously you are expecting or hoping King Charles could die before he is 80 years old i is that so?

The Queen showed her "power to lift everybody" when she visited a hospital after the Manchester Arena terror attack, an NHS trust chief has said.

Kathy Cowell, chair of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, will represent the region's staff when she attends the state funeral on Monday.

The Queen met staff and casualties on a visit to Royal Manchester Children's Hospital days after the attack in 2017.

Ms Cowell said: "Her empathy was so evident."

She said: "The visit from the Queen at this terrible time showed her power to lift everybody - the patients, their families and our staff.

"This was not an easy visit for her to do, but she was so well-received.

"One incident really summed things up for me. There was a young patient who was due for their operation, and who was so excited about meeting the Queen.

"As it happened, she was taken for surgery before Her Majesty arrived, so didn't have the chance to meet her.

"The Queen was told about this and within days that young girl received a personal letter from Her Majesty.

"The Queen brought a compassionate sense of calm and order, and left everyone feeling valued.

"That gift was so much appreciated by patients, their families and staff at that terrible time."

Twenty pipe bands featuring 400 musicians from all over the world are taking part in the United Pipers for Peace Festival over the weekend.

This is the first time the event has been staged outside France and is being organised by the Manchester-based Fianna Phadraig Pipe Band which is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
Pipe Major Peter O'Connor said they also wanted to honour the Queen who he said was well-known for her love of bagpipes.

Shall we say people from the Republic are not usually known for a fondness of the British Crown.My sister and niece actually queued for twelve hours to see her lying in state 10pm Thursday 'til 10am Friday, she said she'd do it again, she said it's something she felt that she needed to do.
