Would it be disrespectful to do anything other than stay inside

on the day of the Queen's funeral?

Everywhere is shut so it's not like you can go and have coffee or go shopping anyway.

What about going for a walk with a friend any, going for a run or meeting up at a friends house to catch up? Would any of these be deemed inappropriate?

Of course, do what you want!
Good luck finding anywhere that’s open, but any of the things you’ve said are fine, why ever not?

Id say do as you wish! It’s your time, your life, do what you want.

Do what you want to do surely.

There are lots of people who still need to work on Monday. They will be carrying on as normal.

Last time I checked it was a free country. I think you can do as you like but I wouldn't be loud or disturb others.

I intend to do whatever I would normally do on any day of the week. I certainly have no intentions of staying inside. And I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks is appropriate.

I'm not sure why you'd stay inside unless you wanted to.

I think as long as you’re not setting off fireworks or popping a bottle of champagne and shouting ‘woooo!’ you’ll probably be grand to crack on as you wish.

we are travelling back from a weekend away ourselves, not staying inside.

We’re going to the pub. Day drinking in her honour. 😂

We’ll be going out and if there is a business open then we’ll support it.

Do not allow yourself to be bullied into staying home unless that is what you really want to do.

And if I fancy some champagne on Monday I will be cracking open a bottle

I will absolutely not be staying it all day with my 2.5 year old! And then I am off to work. (nhs)
It's a free country. You are not expected to stay indoors all day, surely?

It’s my daughters birthday so we will be celebrating that. Hoping to go for a meal as I’ve seen a few places open after 3pm

There will be plenty of places open. We might go for a little bike ride when its not on

Do what you like! I’ll be enjoying a day walking in the countryside 😍

No, I really don't want to stay inside on Monday.

I wouldn't even have minded going to work to be honest but work is shut and we're using annual leave for it so I definitely intend to use it as a "holiday".

I have a dentists appointment in the morning, followed by a long walk with the dog and a late pub lunch. As someone who recently lost a parent I can’t bear to stay in and watch it al.

Probably best not to eat or drink for a few days around the funeral in case you needed to use the loo.
That would be highly disrespectful!
They'll probably monitor sewage outlets to identify who's pooing on the big day!

It's what she would have wanted

All fine. Dh and I going to work as normal - best we can around dc being home from school as we both have jobs where ‘bank holidays’ still mean work needs doing.

I completely understand that some people wish to grieve or pay respects etc, but I do not. I don't see this as anything to do with me. I will be out having fun with my son.

Tell me you aren’t serious..

Sorry for your loss @TheFlis12345 . 💐

Many things have been cancelled and there have been some strange examples of public mourning "out of respect" this week.

If I wasn’t working I could have gone to visit my cousin but instead I will be sleeping after a night shift and working on Monday night shift.

I mean, it’s our taxes that are paying for the thing, so what you want.

I had an email from my gym earlier to say they are open. It's part of a big hotel so planning to go there for a swim and food with my daughter. I'll do it a little later after the main bits of the funeral is over though.

Although I will be watching with family, plenty of my friends would rather walk on coals, plus for some it would just be upsetting (recently bereaved etc)

I don’t think any of the things you are suggesting are remotely disrespectful … and there is always the traditional bank holiday favourite of going to the pub. You could try a dubonnet in honour of HMQ if you want to go all out :)
