Why? Are you doing the grub?

Give them a chance; she only died yesterday FFS.

MsMiaWallace · 09/09/2022 18:29

People have got bookings & staff to organise!

ChineAndWheeseParty · 09/09/2022 18:29

Agree. It's making planning for work/childcare/pre-planned events difficult

whenwillthemadnessend · 09/09/2022 18:29

I'd like to know this too as I'm flying the Saturday. I may change my plans if it's then. I wish they would say.

Are you in a rush?

I thought it was the 19th September and schools etc would be closed as a day of mourning.

No one knows. There has been lots of speculation.

I need to give ten days notice to book a days holiday from work. Public service role so will be open. If funeral on a week day school will close. I'm sure lots of people are in the same boat.

I'm in charge of wrapping potatoes in foil for the cheese and pineapple on sticks. All help welcome 🤣

Perhaps they don't know? She only died yesterday, give them a chance.

I thought they'd had this planned for years?

I think it will be the Saturday but I'm just guessing like everyone else.

Floydthebarber · 09/09/2022 18:38

Maybe it hasn't been decided yet. I'm sure they will give you a call the moment they know.

MsMiaWallace · 09/09/2022 18:39

They will know!

OverTheHillAndDownTotherSide · 09/09/2022 18:40

I didn’t think it could be on a weekend.

mackthepony · 09/09/2022 18:40

If it's a weekday, will we get a day off?

You made me laugh out loud! 😁

Wearefoooked22 · 09/09/2022 18:40

He said just over a week from now so I’m guessing either Saturday the 17th or Monday the 19th?

Believeitornot · 09/09/2022 18:40

MsMiaWallace · 09/09/2022 18:39

They will know!

No they won’t. They’ve got a huge security operation to sort out and work out if everyone can get here safely!

They will have provisional dates and then have to plan accordingly.

Wearefoooked22 · 09/09/2022 18:41

Yes it’s going to be a bank holiday
