The Queens funeral 2

[KenAdams]

For when the first one fills up

My late father would have been there with a bucket and shovel, all that lovely fertiliser for the roses.

I wondered if the whooping and cheering were anti monarchy protestors or something.

Clapping I could sort of understand

Yes I didn't see Zara, Louise or James either.

They could have got someone in to clear up the horse muck before the hearse drove though.

And the banging on the metal barriers

I don't really mind how anyone reacts

Do the bearer party have to go to do their duty atWindsor as well?

Thank you @JustLyra and others - it didn't look like him to me.
Maybe I am thinking of one of the other older generation royals.

Hopefully when they get onto a major road with no spectators the RF can sneak a couple of sausage rolls, bag of dorito's and and maybe a red bull to get them through the rest of the day

That's what I've switched to.

Ooh I'd love to have it for my compost bin.

Think how much there would have been on the streets back in pre-automobile days ... at least it doesn't pollute the air ;-)

What happens after this? (On the Tele)

I can just about tolerate clapping but the whooping is horrendous. It’s not bloody Jerry Springer.

My poor cat. It's way past his lunch time but he can't sit on the windowsill any longer and is making moves. The Royal Family and everyone else must also be hungry.

Is she being buried at Windsor? Not at Westminster cathedral?

With the hint of a smile I thought, how lovely.

Who got in the cars before they left, I thought it was Charles and those who marched behind but then they were still there?

He has changed a lot in the last few years since he got slightly portlier.

He also (to me) looks totally different depending on if he has his glasses on or not.
