To be impressed that Holly and Phil queued to see the Queen

[DonnaBanana]

I saw on the news today that they both paid their respects. I know MPs got tickets to jump the queue which is fair enough given how busy they are running the country, but obviously run of the mills celebrities don't get that sort of treatment. We haven't seen many celebrities actually pay tribute given they wouldn't want to queue so long, so I was quite touched to see the picture of them walking through. True British gems.

I hope there’s a massive back lash against them for queue jumping. They’re fit enough to queue. They’re hardly likely to be mobbed in the queue. When there’s elderly people, etc queuing for ten plus hours it looks shit

The millionaires Holly and Phil are keen on showing us they are in touch with the plight of ordinary folk. Holly's famous for promoting frocks from Primark and just the other week their sensitive response to The Cost Of Living Crisis was to offer one lucky viewer the chance to win the price of their gas supply on This Morning's version of Wheel Of Fortune.

I wonder which hapless victim in the production office got blamed for that one in the inquest after the outcry when the wheel stopped spinning?

It's the new poppy wearing. Be seen in a queue "paying respect".

I'm far more impressed by the veterans, elderly, young, families,(especially those with young babies), those that travelled far and wide, workers who took time out of their hectic schedules and general public who have made an historic event all that extra memorable

Nicely done BTW @DonnaBanana. I also like it when celebrities show us how ordinary they can be.

There is no way they queued for hours and hours like everyone else. Max 45mins I reckon!

People would have seem them and posted on social media about it if they'd queued with the public for 6-7 hours.

seen them*

Why on earth would you be 'impressed' even if they had queued? (They didn't).

You do realise you don't actually know them, don't you? All this Holly and Phil lark as if they're people's actual friends, rather than people who cultivate an image for the TV to make them relatable.

Lol

perhaps Holly will bring out her M&S mourning line of clothing. must be an ad in there for Phil for life insurance, funeral arrangements or something.

Glad to see the phrase “if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all” is alive and kicking as usual on mumsnet!

Of course they didn't join the normal queue you absolute nutter.

They got to jump the queue because their work is part of the TV coverage.

They didn't join the plebs. In fact by then going to the press queue they made the others wait even longer.

She's always one of the most mentioned people on the what celebrities have you ever met who were horrid threads.

PS at least is wearing The Black Lanyard which I'm pretty sure indicates the non-queueing- queue.

Looks like OP isn't going to come back and reply now her mad cap notion that they had to queue like 'normal' people has proven to be false....

No way they queued. I’m not a fan and this is just another example of why.

😂

I think Phil hoped to bump into Andrew so they could exchange notes.

Lol OP cringing for you. They were fast tracked with the press.

Either you are being sarcastic OP or totally gullible.

Not sure which.

Hope the backlash is swift and hastens their public demise.

Well past their sickly sell by date.

From one Queen to another then.

The world's gone flipping mad - some folk need locking up in Centre Parcs for the duration.

They were in the press section, not filing past the mourners. They obviously decided to get their faces in on this one rather than using one of their lowly reporters. I dare say one of them has a hip flask handy for the duration 🙄
