We're having sausage butties and prosecco for the funeral

I've made a Victoria Sponge for later

My friend is having a full afternoon tea. Another is having cucumber sandwiches

No, it seems odd to me to go out of the way to have afternoon tea or some special food for a funeral, rather than a happy celebration.

I think it’s a happy celebration of the queen and her life. It’s a nice way to mark the event for children who had afternoon tea to celebrate the jubilee.

We had a pint in the Spoons. It’s what she would have wanted*

I made some scones and had them for lunch and afternoon snack.

Prosecco during a funeral seems a really odd choice

Yes, I think it's the UK's obsession with alcohol and using any excuse to drink tbh!
