The Dukes of Edinburgh, Gloucester, Windsor and Kent march during the funeral procession of King George VI // 15 FEBRUARY 1952
‘It was a long walk to Paddington, past the Cenotaph, along the Mall, where Queen Mary watched the procession pass from her balcony at Marlborough House, past what was left of 145 Piccadilly, the King’s home before his accession, and up Park Lane to Paddington. The Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Windsor wore naval uniform, the Duke of Gloucester a military greatcoat, and I wore an overcoat and top hat. I was only sixteen.’

There was some interest in Valentine’s Day event, so here we go again!
Sign up and wish for a gift.
Make a gift and keep it a secret.
Post your gift and get a gift on Valentine's day!
Simple enough!
Theme: romance and smut. This means that people over 18 can wish for nsfw gifts and people over 18 can choose to make them. That is why your age is asked in the sign up form.
This is a good time for all your fluffy, romantic, soft, cute, or sexy prompts. You can also leave other kinds of prompts if you want. Platonic love definitely counts! Themes so heavy that they could make people uncomfortable are not allowed. Always ask if you’re unsure! You will be contacted if there’s a problem with the matchmaking or your prompts, so be sure to leave the correct information on your social medias.
You can ask for gifts about any GTA games or even your original characters, but make sure the prompt is very clear on what you want. Leaving many different kinds of prompts is preferable! The mod will do their best to match up everyone so that there is representation for as many games as possible.
You can join by filling in this form. It will only be available until January 19, so be quick (but read the form carefully)! By the end of next week, you will receive the information about the person you’re going to gift your work. Then you will have until Valentine’s Day, three weeks, to work on your gift.
The moderator will ask you for progress a couple of times before the deadline to make sure that everyone gets their gift. If there are any problems and you can’t participate any longer, contact the mod ASAP and be honest. We’ve had a few issues with this before, and I hope it won’t repeat again. If you’re unsure if you can finish a gift in three weeks, think twice before signing up.
That’s about it! Feel free to reblog this post and hopefully, we get a lot of participants again!
Happy Heavenly Birthday to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Papa Bertie's beloved 'pride', and 97 today! (b. 21/04/1926)
Thank you for your wisdom, your grace, and for your unfailing service, ma'am.
All together again as a family for your first celestial celebration :')
