What went down on Wikipedia after Queen Elizabeth II's death was announced
The interesting part of this is the fact that every radio station is required to a special light that turns on when a Royal dies and this is broadcast throughout the UK by the military.<p>The UK has a weird, self-important, order-centric hierarchical culture. Even down to the fact this event had a codename pre-planned in advance. "London Bridge has fallen".. just, why? This isn't James Bond. This is the real world, she's an old lady that everyone knows will die. Add to this is that she had no real power throughout the realm.
