I don't know. I've never been to Westminster Abbey. I assumed it was quite a big place.

No one can deny that.

Sells out, wants titles.
Not a popular way to act.

Paddington?

I thought he took QE by the hand and personally took her to heaven, that's what half of the posts on my FB timeline have told me anyway....

Oh shit, is Paddington dead?

Not quite 'celeb' celebs, but I would imagine quite a few high flyers - breeders / owners / stud managers - from the racing world, so the Aga Khan and suchlike.

Lots of global heads of state, high-ranking civil servants / Palace staff.

Assorted aristos.

I should imagine it will be very formal and grave. Definitely no fucking Elton whinnying at the ivories, thank god.

Craig Revel Horwood
Christopher Biggins
Bobby Davro

All were close friends of hers apparently.

Giles Is on the BBC as I type he is definitely after a pew at the funeral!

TooBigForMyBoots · 09/09/2022 21:58

Kanye West. He and the Queen were very close, he was working on an opera of her life. Apparently he's in bits.😥

heatissweet · 09/09/2022 21:59

Clare Balding and other horsey type people. Sebastian Coe seems to me like the sort to turn up as well.

Do we think Donald Trump is going to try to gatecrash?

nildesparandum · 09/09/2022 21:59

The Beckhams of course.

Clare Balding is a good shout

Not sure about Trump but I reckon the Obamas might go

Idontgiveashitanymore · 09/09/2022 22:02

Not Oprah 🤦‍♀️

I think CB is distantly related - a cousin of some kind through her mother.

I'd be very surprised if the Obamas weren't there, apparently they got on very well and the Queen was particularly good friends with Michelle.

KentuckyDerbyandJoan · 09/09/2022 22:03

David Attenborough and hopefully no others.

MinglingFlamingo · 09/09/2022 22:04

Anne Widdicombe - will share a pew with Gyles

Anna Wintour- seen a photo of her and The Queen a few times over the last few days

Jenny Bond? Not Nicholas Witchell

No he was respectfully wearing a suit, they did show a clip of him wearing a corgi jumper.

Now you mention it, I remember him saying something about it to Anne Diamond in the 80s. I'd completely forgotten that.🤦‍♀️ I suppose he doesn't really like talking about it in public.
