    Respect what the Queen done in her lifetime as an ambassador for the UK and fear the Commonwealth will now struggle to survive.
    That’s about as much as my interest stretches. I did not know her personally and will not be making any special effort to watch the proceedings, but I’m sure I will see it plenty of times on the news.

    The Russian people must be like the mags, the whole worlds against them for no reason at all. Thick bastards.

    It shouldn't survive imo, it's from the past and a bit embarrassing.

    Totally agree Smug. I reckon in 10 years time it will be England and Wales only. Then eventually just England.

    I know I may be in a minority, but sat here watching this vigil has me in bits. You could hear a pin drop and 4 children are standing remembering their mam in full view of the public

    I don't mind the Commonwealth tbh., we have much in common with these countries, a common language and a shared history, which cannot and should not be forgotten, good or bad .

    Miserable lot,
    The decent thing for them to do is tell their boss they will work on the bank holiday as they are not interested in the Royals.

    Right, just need to find them a job before Monday now.

    BBC just showed the garrison Sargent major walking down the mall and came out with "here's the garrison Sargent major, he's in charge of the procession today"

    No pressure then
