Genuine question. Why is this essentially a miltary parade? There are millions of people who serve their country in other different ways who are not represented here. It only seems to be military personnel.

The police and RCMP are at the front, no?

 

[splinter]

I'd imagine tourists from around the world will be flocking to these shores in the coming years..

 

[Octavian]

No, it won’t.

“3 points for City is all that matters”

 

[normskih]

And that is why Great is before Britain.
Be proud.

It seemed The Queen had a hand in planning her funeral and isn’t it truly spectacular?

 

[tommy116]

Probably be already said but what tune is the band playing?

Out of date elitism?

Her being commander in chief might well have a bit to do with it I suppose.

Such pomp, such pageantry, but I'm always left worrying: somebody in there must be bursting for a pee.

I think a squadron of dinner ladies would look a bit odd.

Semolina love?

Zadok the Priest is usally played at Coronations..The CL soundtrack.. I assume it will be the one time we Blues cheer that tune ??

That's not really a massively diverse representation is it?

There's no youth workers, doctors, teachers, transgender activists, grime artists, road sweepers, gardeners etc.

In case you didn’t know, she was Head of the Armed Forces.

Feels a bit more British though - a few lollipop man and women etc.........

Not many jalfreizes eaten last night I would guess.

This country became what it is because of it's military, like it or not! I suppose Russians and Chinese are watching this procession and are asking themselves 'how the fuck do they pull it off!'.
