Pi?ces de monnaie, hymne national: ce qui va changer avec l’accession de Charles III

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Le Nouvelliste

De l’hymne national aux billets et pi?ces de monnaie, en passant par les timbres et les passeports, de nombreux aspects de la vie quotidienne au Royaume-Uni vont changer avec l’accession de Charles III au tr?ne.

Monnaie et timbres

Le visage du nouveau roi Charles III va commencer ? appara?tre sur les pi?ces de monnaie et les billets de banque au Royaume-Uni et dans d’autres pays du monde, rempla?ant le profil de la reine Elizabeth II.

Son effigie appara?tra ?galement sur plusieurs autres devises utilis?es dans les Cara?bes orientales, au Canada, en Australie et en Nouvelle-Z?lande.

Idem dans les ?les anglo-normandes de Jersey, Guernesey, sur l’?le de Man ainsi qu’? Gibraltar, Sainte-H?l?ne et dans les Malouines, ?les et territoires contr?l?s par la Couronne britannique.

En 1936, pendant le r?gne du roi Edouard VIII, qui a dur? 326 jours, des pi?ces avaient ?t? frapp?es, mais le monarque a abdiqu? avant leur mise en circulation.

Le visage d’Elizabeth II figure ?galement sur les timbres tandis que les lettres EIIR, pour Elizabeth II Regina, sont appos?es sur les bo?tes aux lettres, ce qui devra donc ?tre modifi?. L’insigne appos?e sur les casques de police changera ?galement.

Hymne et passeports

L’hymne national britannique va devenir “God Save the King”, avec une version masculinis?e des paroles.

Une habitude qui sera sans doute difficile ? prendre pour les Britanniques, qui entonnent “God Save the Queen” depuis 1952. C’est aussi l’un des deux hymnes nationaux de la Nouvelle-Z?lande et l’hymne royal en Australie et au Canada, qui ont leur propre hymne national.

Le libell? inscrit dans la couverture int?rieure des passeports britanniques, d?livr?s au nom de la couronne, devra ?tre mis ? jour, tout comme le texte similaire qui appara?t ? l’int?rieur des passeports australiens, canadiens et n?o-z?landais.

Lorsqu’on l?vera son verre lors de rencontres officielles, il ne faudra plus dire “La reine” mais “Le roi”. Dans les ?les anglo-normandes, la formule officieuse “La reine, notre duc” prononc?e en fran?ais au moment de porter un toast deviendra “Le roi, notre duc”.

Politique et droits

Les noms du gouvernement de Sa Majest? (“Her Majesty”), du Tr?sor et des douanes changeront pour devenir ceux de “His Majesty”.

Ce sera le discours du roi (“The king’s speech”) et non celui de la reine qui pr?sentera au parlement le programme du gouvernement, ouvrant la session parlementaire.

La garde de la reine, immortalis?e par les touristes devant le palais de Buckingham, changera aussi de nom.

La police ne pr?servera plus la paix de la reine mais celle du roi et les avocats chevronn?s passeront du statut de QC (“Queen’s counsel”) ? celui de KC (“King’s counsel”).

Les prisonniers ne seront plus d?tenus au gr? de “Her Majesty”, mais poursuivront leurs peines d’emprisonnement au gr? de “His Majesty” le roi.

Dans l’arm?e, les nouvelles recrues ne prendront plus “le shilling de la reine”, lorsqu’ils s’engagent, comme l’indique la formule. Ils ne devront plus non plus se soumettre aux r?glements de la reine.

Le nom du “Her Majesty’s Theatre” dans le West End, quartier des th??tres de Londres, o? le spectacle “The Phantom of the Opera” est jou? depuis 1986, sera ?galement masculinis?.

Et ceux qui aspirent ? parler anglais avec l’accent le plus chic possible, l’”anglais de la reine” (“the Queen’s English”) devront d?sormais s’efforcer de parler comme Charles III : “l’anglais du roi”.

Jamaicans react to the Queen’s sdeath

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

Jamaicans on the streets of the Corporate Area on Thursday afternoon shared varying emotions relative to news of the passing of Queen Elizabeth 11 who, as the British Monarch, was Head of State of more than 10 countries in the Caribbean region, including Jamaica.

From indifference to fondness and appreciation of the queen and Britain’s roles in helping to build the Jamaican fiber, numerous perspectives came in a Loop News vox pop on the development.

As was to be expected, the question of Jamaica retaining or breaking away from the British Monarchy did come up for mention, as did colonialism and the dark shadows of slavery.

But most interestingly, the perspectives were diverse and all respectful of the life and impact of the now departed monarch.

Sports events in Britain called off following death of queen Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

LONDON (AP) — Several sporting events in Britain were called off as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 on Thursday.

Organizers of the BMW PGA Championship golf event reacted to the announcement of the queen’s death by immediately suspending play, with many players still out on the course at Wentworth. The course and practice facilities will be closed Friday.

The England and Wales Cricket Board said Friday’s play in the second test between England and South Africa at the Oval would not take place.

Horse racing meetings in Britain were suspended on Thursday night and Friday, with the governing body wanting to “remember her extraordinary life and contribution to our sport and our nation.”

Domestic rugby matches in England and Scotland were called off on Thursday and games will not be played over the weekend, either.

Organizers of cycling’s Tour of Britain declared the race over after cancelling Friday’s stage as well as two more over the weekend. Gonzalo Serrano, who led after Thursday’s stage, was named the winner.

The Premier League paid its respects to the royal family, saying it was “deeply saddened” to hear of the queen’s death. It didn’t immediately say whether games would go ahead this weekend.

The English Football League, which runs the three divisions below the Premier League, called off its games that had been scheduled to be played Friday evening and said a decision would be made on Friday morning about weekend games after discussions with the British government and wider sport.

Manchester United’s Europa League game against Real Sociedad did take place hours after the queen’s death was announced. There was a minute’s silence before kickoff at Old Trafford, with both teams wearing black armbands and the flags at stadium lowered to half-staff as a sign of respect.

There was no pre-match music and the digital advertising hoardings around the field were switched off.

There was a minute’s silence in other European games involving British teams, such as Arsenal, West Ham and Hearts.

The U.S. Tennis Association held a moment of silence before the first U.S. Open women’s semifinal match Thursday night — won in straight sets by Ons Jabeur over Caroline Garcia.

“We would like to pause to remember Queen Elizabeth II,” the stadium announcer said. “Our thoughts are with the people today of the United Kingdom. Remember to be part of us in a second of silence.”

Rafael Nadal offered his “most respectful, sincere and deepest condolences” and former England soccer player and television commentator Gary Lineker also tweeted: “Such a terribly sad day. A truly remarkable woman who served her country with dignity, loyalty and grace. A comforting ever present in the lives of most of us. Rest In Peace, Your Majesty.”

Brazil soccer great Pele tweeted about his admiration for the queen ever since meeting her in person in 1968 when she visited the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.

“Her deeds have marked generations,” Pele wrote. “This legacy will last forever.”

The All England Club, home of the Wimbledon tennis tournament, said the queen undertook her duties “with great wisdom, dignity and charm for 70 years.”

The queen was the royal patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, which thanked her for “years of service on this profoundly sad day.”

Louise Martin, president of the Commonwealth Games Federation, said Queen Elizabeth “has been an inspiration to so many, including all our Commonwealth Games athletes and officials. Her Majesty’s vision for the Commonwealth as a diverse and united family of nations will continue to inspire us.”

“The most important thing for me is the safety of our staff and our customers and I think that we have provided a safe environment during operating hours,” Johannes asserted.

“What we need to establish is what went wrong during the night time hours and how we can further beef up security,” the company official explained.

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots’ title defence of the men’s edition of the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) got a boost on Thursday when they defeated the Guyana Amazon Warriors by four wickets for their first victory.

The Patriots laid down the gauntlet from the first ball at the Darren Sammy Cricket Stadium, in St Lucia, with Sheldon Cottrell and Duan Jansen frustrating the batters.

Jansen took the early wicket of Paul Stirling.

Chandrapual Hemraj played a patient innings to build a platform, scoring 43 runs, before captain Shimron Hetmyer displayed some attacking intent to take his side to 162 for six off their allotted 20 overs.

The Patriots then replied with 163 for six to win the match with two balls to spare. They took a patient approach to the chase after losing the valuable wicket of Evin Lewis for 10 in the second over.

Andre Fletcher went on to score 41 runs for the Patriots before his dismissal but the wickets of both Dwayne Bravo (4) and Darren Bravo (21) in the 16th over had seemingly ended the Patriots’ chances of a win. However, Jansen and Dwaine Pretorius combined in the final overs with a 55-run partnership to guide the side to a remarkable win.

Jansen scored 23 not out from 15 balls while Pretorius hammered 27 not out from 12.

The Patriots are now third in the CPL standings with four points from five matches the same as second-place Jamaica Tallawahs, which have played three games.

Barbados Royals are leading the six-team competition with maximum six points

Guyana Amazon Warriors remain in last place with a point.
