Queen Elizabeth II

[kaz7]

Yes, that is usual. I watched a documentary recently where they went down to the depths of the British Library or somewhere and could read the King’s diary from a century ago for the first time.

Might have been Neil Oliver or Alice Roberts, can’t bloody remember what documentary it was now.

We will never know what her views were , that is for other generations historians to see, probably a bit like mine , fed the animals and watched telly , ha

Why are they holding their rifles like that? Its like its someone job to come up with the mist uncomfortable way of doing things for ceremony.

You mean with hand behind their back? It’s the ceremonial position for the funeral.

I am not a royalist but not anti.

I am not religious but not anti.

But I have been sat on my sofa since 10am and this has been fantastic. Nice to see the queens pony and her dogs.

Britain does this brilliantly.

Me n’all.

I’m very anti-religious but also manged to sit through the ceremony without shouting “load of bollocks” like I usually do when anything religious is on tele.

I’m neither here nor there about the Monarchy. Always felt it wouldn’t affect me in any way at all whether we kept them or abolished them, but I don’t half enjoy big shows of patriotism and this is as good as it gets for that.

I’ve watched the entire thing.

What time is the next funeral due? I bet they wont be happy if they have had to wait?

The crown, orb, cushion and flowers have to be secured to the cofin lid through the Royal Standard
