People throwing flowers

Watching the footage of the funeral cortège, I can see people throwing flowers into the path. Single flowers I can understand but some people are throwing entire bouquets, plastic and all at the poor drivers and motorcyclists. eeejits!

Yeah they've been asked just to throw one flower but some people aren't thinking straight in their grief

How much grief can these people possibly be in if they can’t use their heads and not throw bunches of flowers at motorcyclists and a car?!

I found myself thinking 'litter', yes, foliage, but litter. Some poor sods will have to clear that up.

It must be incredibly annoying for the poor driver who is probably stressed enough as it is.

Unlikely, he will be a well trained professional driver.

I’m sure the driver will survive - oh look he did. Calm down. All this mentioned hysteria is only on here by people constantly whining that other people are people that are not you. Give over.

Every thread someone says ‘hysteria’ where there clearly isn’t any. Bingo. 🙄

They will be watching on the news later, eagerly telling their friends “that pink one there at the top of the windscreen…that’s the one I threw”.
Awful.

Cheering clapping and filming the hearse passing, and chucking anything more than a single bloom, all dreadful.

Don't know why you think that.

Because lots of the people watching her funeral were throwing flowers at the hearse and clapping as it went past. Ans that was what, 25 years ago now?

Properly chavvy behaviour. Oh well, at least she's with the angles now...

It must have been seriously stressful for all the security types and bodyguards. Imagine trying to work out who’s throwing a molotov cocktail and who’s throwing interflora 🙈

Disrespectful to throw anything but if they had to, a single flower before the car got there would have msde more sense.
