webfact Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Out of sight: Queen Elizabeth misses church again SANDRINGHAM: -- Her 95-year-old husband Prince Philip was there, as were other members of Britain’s Royal Family. But for the second time these Christmas holidays, Queen Elizabeth was a ‘no show’ at church – missing the New Year’s Day service at her country estate, Sandringham. Buckingham Palace says the 90-year-old is still recuperating from the heavy cold that forced her to stay away from church on Christmas Day, for the first time in decades. Elizabeth and Philip were both suffering from heavy colds in the week leading up to Christmas and delayed their journey from London to Sandringham by a day, travelling there by helicopter on Dec. 22. Philip recovered and attended both the Christmas and New Year services. On Sunday, he arrived by car before walking into the grey stone parish church of St. Mary Magdalene, but the Queen, who is the symbolic head of the Church of England, made no public appearance. Now, after almost two weeks out of the public gaze – apart from in her traditional pre-recorded Christmas TV message – concern for the Queen’s health is growing. Acknowledging her age, the world’s longest-reigning living monarch has already handed over some royal duties to other family members and cut back on international tours. But she is still known for her robust constitution. with Reuters -- © Copyright Euronews 2017-01-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I've missed church since 1981, when I went to a Catholic service in the Phil's in order to gain favor with a romantic interest there. Me missing church didn't even make the local news. About the only thing me and the queen have in common is the same birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't make the news did you make the romantic interest at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 So she is nursing a nasty cold - let her rest and with 90 years of age you might need/want a little more of that. It's not a state affair. Speedy recovery and a stiff gin might come in helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Sad, that some are so mean spirited to a woman who has hurt no one and instead made alot of people feel secure and lifted their spirits. She's done far more for the well being of the UK than many of the petty misfits of TVF. I am not a monarchist, but jeez, that is someone's gran and a beloved icon to some UK residents. Be nice.

Exactly. I am not a monarchist either, but she seems a nice genuine lady who, like you say, has inspired and lifted the spirits of many people in the UK and elsewhere. I would feel happier with her running the country than all the looser and incompetent government characters we have had over the last few years. Sadly these days most people in the UK seem to have got very selfish and negative about anyone... they like to pull people down and make them look bad, rather than have any hero's or role models to look up to.

al007 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 What a hard working and devoted Lady, who has given her life to the Country and Commonwealth, with no retirement date Personally, I believe, those who show no love or sympathy are either mentally ill, and that is also sad, as for the rest of them the lowest of life, Love and compassion costs little God bless the wonderful lady, and the rest of her family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Elizabeth may represent her country well but she is hardly important to the world in general. The world doesn't need Lizzie it needs a good shafting.

The best part of the job is to sign all the laws before they come into effect so you get the chance to see where the government will invest money,arms etc. then you get a straw man to buy shares on the cheap, she is a very rich lady who has virtually no living expenses.
