I've been finding this mesmerising so thought I'd create a dedicated thread.
Saw Justin Trudeau and his wife pass through earlier.

Who are these dignitaries? Archer on right got a bit out of step on stairs.

I would simply bow my head, thinking about it, if I was there. I would look like a performing elephant if I attempted a curtsey.

Ahaa, i just saw a policeman go off, he was walking a bit wonky unsurprisingly, bless him!

Aagh. DH is here so I had to change the channel. I love Crown Princess Mary.

I can find you a good divorce lawyer.

There are so many children. I guess at this time these are ones who joined the queue fairly early this morning and have spent their day in it. Credit to them and their parents.

@NeckFanInSoftPlay it's the sign of the cross. Joe Biden did it too. Not sure why the face palm?? Lots of different beliefs have been represented.

Asian people are allowed to be Catholic too...

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/09/2022 21:11

plenty of asians are catholic

verastan · 18/09/2022 21:12

You should simply bow your head and/or curtsey.

Are you in charge of the queue rules?

A lot of Asians are Catholics. How patronising of you to assume they don’t know what it means. ‘Disrespectful’? Fuck me…

Who is this, focusing a lot on him?

SNP dude. Forgotten his name possibly Blackford?🤦🏻

MaggieFS · 18/09/2022 21:17

Anyone else not had sound for quite some time now? I don't like sitting in silence!

I think everyone can make their own personal choice about what’s respectful, people from all cultures and faiths have shown all kinds of signs of respect.

I don’t think anyone else has felt it’s disrespectful at all, I certainly don’t.

Jellykat · 18/09/2022 21:18

According to google its not just Catholics who cross their chests.

No sound here either

Hotandbothereds · 18/09/2022 21:19

Oh and @NeckFanInSoftPlay I think calling it ‘the cross thing’ is most likely pretty offensive to people whose faith it represents.

OrangePumpkinLobelia · 18/09/2022 21:20

No sound here either.

Jellykat · 18/09/2022 21:20

Feels like my ears are blocked without the odd squeak of a shoe, guess we'll know for sure if we dont hear the stick thumping.

CrapBucket · 18/09/2022 21:21

Floppy haired blonde guy is crying so hard 😢

TattiePants · 18/09/2022 21:21

Does anyone else think it’s really intrusive when the camera purposely zones in on someone is is very upset? They’ve zoomed in on a (possibly) Jewish man who looked really upset.

TattiePants · 18/09/2022 21:22

@CrapBucket thats the guy I saw.
