I hope this isnt the end and she pulls through. All the best and thoughts are with her family.

There’s scant chance of her pulling through and it is clear decisions have been taken long before now that when it’s time, it’s time. Transferring her to hospital in Aberdeen would be no small undertaking, a fact that will not have been lost on anyone planning for her to spend the summer months on a relatively remote highland estate. They have long known she’s nearing the end and that when it came to it, only palliative care would be given. To cap it all, the palace has totally hit the panic button this afternoon. They very very rarely make announcements about the Queen’s health, and they certainly never have notes passed around the House of Commons in the middle of debates. They have also had just about the entire extended family flown immediately to Aberdeen.
The TV networks have heard the mood music and are switching to indefinite rolling coverage because they fully expect an announcement this evening.
