Of course he does All part of the British Heritage As someone else said the Souvenir Market could wipe out the National Debt as longs it is done properly without a lot of cheap trash
Preliminary figures suggest over 4 billion people throughout the world watched the funeral of an outdated institution ... if only we'd had an elected president ...
Funniest part for me today was President Macron having to queue in Westminster Abbey behind all the other delegates. Mind you so did Boris. I remember it being said they were all going to be bused in, because otherwise it logistically couldn't work - although the Americans kicked up a fuss and insisted Biden had to have his own armoured vechicle, which I do accept, as him, Putin and Xin Jinping are probably the three most important people in the world, although the Indian president probably won't be far behind in the future, especially once their population ovetakes China which it is forecast to do, if it hasn't already.
Not for me, but hope those that watched enjoyed it. I caught the carriage pull on the news for as much as I wanted to see and that was well done. My thoughts were more towards 7.30pm, as the reporter said that's when the queen would actually be buried in a private ceremony. Seems more huge somehow, to me anyway, than all the rest of it. R.I.P. And yeh normal TV please tomorrow. Can't wait for the next series of The Crown. I wonder what happens.
Question for people, why when Harry went pass the Cenotaph did he not salute, when both Charles and William did?
Neither did his seedy uncle. They aren't working royals anymore so have been stripped of their military titles and uniforms. Only a person in military uniform can salute.
Ah cheers Saff. In regards to the seedy uncle I'd tried throughout the whole process to blank he was there. Either BBC or SKY went zoomed in camera on him at one point, and I was like please fook off, we really don't need to see him.
Boris must be absolutely ****ing gutted ... Liz Truss gets the Churchill gig just a couple of weeks into the job ... karma
Yeah I know I thought that when the Queen died, exactly as you say, Boris will be totally gutted. He tried to queue jump today at the service, but got politely slapped back into line. Boris got well and truly fooked over from a historic perspective, the timing is remarkable.
... all things equal - respect to the pallbearers - that lead lined coffin weighed a quarter of a ton apparently...
