Incidentally, since BFC was formed, every king or queen who has died has died while Burnley were in level 2 of the pyramid. But one king or queen was buried while we were in level 1. Which king or queen was that? (Regnant kings or queens only.)

Be honest....you just wanted to use the word "Regnant"......made up the rest.

I thought it said Pregnant!

[Guitargeorge]

Talking about pregnant, did you know that the late Queen Elizabeth was not declared as Queen for 24 hours after her father’s death, as the Royal physicians had to be sure that the Queen Mother was not pregnant. If she had have been and borne a son, then the Queen would have been Regent Ad Interim

Looks like a win tonight then. I am just waiting for Sky to tell us that Charles is the first monarch to come to the throne in the Premier League era.
