i'd say if you did the final day without all the fuss on media you might have got sort of similar crowds around the routes.
we have to recall that in 2002 the queen mother died and there was about 200,000 going to her lying in state and even with this absolute frenzy there won't be double that now. Its like a propaganda bubble driving this frenzy but the same amount of real royalists came out both times.
Churchill got more.... he had a state funeral and there was 350,000 so.... again a lot of hysteria today which is perhaps a sign of the times.
the silent majority just put up with it frankly.
an awful lot of people on about how this will never happen again but you can bet your arse it will. this is not actually new, its just the social media age with no concept of history and the great unwashed plebs who count themselves royalists but have no clue of the history of the monachy having an absolute meltdown

the queens father. 300,000 in the cold.
its all propaganda, and fear it won't happen. I'm fairly sure a few will do the same for the current lad and the same for his baldy offspring.
