I'm too far away to come to Beijing but on Monday I'll go to LiuHuaHu garden in Guangzhou and pay my respects at The Queen's tree that she planted in 1986. Long live the King!
Pay Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II: British Ambassador's Residence Open to Public for Condolences, Sep 15
Those wishing to pay their respects following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II last week will be able to do so tomorrow by signing an official book of condolences at the residence of the Ambassador of the UK to China tomorrow.
Although the residence was opened for two days – Sep 14 and 15 – there is still one more day for those wishing to mourn the passing of Britain’s longest reigning monarch.
Those wishing to do so must bring their official ID (Chinese ID or foreign passport), have your Beijing Health Kit available with 48-hour Covid test results, and wear a mask on site.
The Ambassador's Residence (address in posters above) will be open to the public on Thursday, Sep 15 from 2pm to 5pm.

Re: Pay Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II: British Ambassador's...
I used to blow off firecrackers myself as a kid. We had a bow and arrow, tie the firecrackers to the arrow, light the firecrackers and shoot the arrow as far into the sky as ye could, the aim being to time the firecracker cracking as high as possible. Now Micky and Geza the Hungarian kids from next door had another use for firecrackers, which was to grab a frog from the crick, which there were many, squeeze it to open it's jaw, stick in the firecracker, light it and throw the whole bolus into the air and explode said frog into little bits of frog flesh.Anarchism aint so much about firecrackers and bombs and all. More about building something. Whether it can come to pass remains to be seen.I Was an anarchist when I was 22 and I am an anarchist at 58. Churchill said something like ` if you;re not a liberal at 20, you have no heart; if you're not a Conservative when you are 30 then you have no mind' My reply is simply `go fuck yourself'.My ex- girlfriend killed herself with vodka and a bottle of anti-depressants at the age of 40.
I don't give a good gaddang fongk about the death of the `queen'. It means absolutely nothing to me.
I'm not particularly exercised over it meself. But whinging academics and activists going on about "pillaged jewels" got my ire irked. EVERY inhabited square meter on this planet has been pillaged and most repeatedly. The Brits were more successful than most is all.

I lit firecrackers when I was a kid. *boom* and li'l scraps of paper go flying on their own trajectories to wind up in heaps that get swept up and trashed. I dunno why "anarchist" always makes me think of that. Complete discoordination across all levels of ability mebbe.
In his later years, Ernst Juenger wrote a lot of the "Anarch." Different animal totally. For one, it has admirable qualities...
Oh I dunno. Homer's race of cyclopses in the Odyssey were a pretty fair take on anarchism. As are today's American inner cities. A creed that requires sages and saints for its practice winds up making beasts of ordinary men. A kingdom not of this world, as it were.
Eddie and Davey the kids from across the street had another nice trick which they employed when we were baling hay, which was to take a mouse which was hiding under hay bale, strap it to an elastic and a rock, throw it in a bucket of water and watch it struggle until bubbles came out of it's mouth and drowned. 12 year old kids. What does this say?
