I know we do it well. But at such short notice there's faultless pomp, ceremony, all those servicemen, all in the right place

Yes I know it's all rehearsed. But so impressive

Makes you realise what an interesting and bonkers nation we are.

In fact we are four nations.

And we have a monarchy on top of our elected mps.

Is just very different to any other European country. They don't have a monarch on their psyche like we do.

There are several European countries have Monarchs including Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain,Sweden, Belgium..

They must have had plans for each of her 'locations' - if she's died in Windsor, for example, it wouldn't have been Scottish battalions, or if she'd died in Sandringham... She can't have planned to die at Balmoral - just chance, surely?

That's correct.

Having been previously involved in one particular location, and previous events, the organisation and team work behind them is mind boggling.
