didn't realise it went on this long

Doesn't go into the tomb until 7pm apparently

I don't mean to be disrespectful but I see the queen is on the move again.
She has been out more today than she has for the last 2 years.

good job i didn't know this before my 1 and 15 min run to miss the funeral, which started just before 11. I'd be on the way to an ultra-marathon

Finished over here, you must have the director's cut on.

here comes Marlon Brando! head popping just out the water.

 

[coollino]

wonder what the carbon footprint for today is

 

[Willie Thorne]

Diana's gig was better. Even the horses are starting to shake their heads.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

Must admit watch quite a bit today, mostly for the spectacle, it brilliant the precision of those military guys is great, and I’ve always loved the pipes.

I haven’t watched any of it before the funeral. I don’t watch much live TV anyway, but I don’t subscribe to this idea that we have been inundated with it, yes there have been on 3 or 4 channels, but there are 70 TV channels that are free to air, before you even get into the streaming services and SKY and Virgin.
I am more bothered by the political side of things, that certain people are looking to sow further division and push for a break up of Britain and the commonwealth

It’s a minority on the Internet mate. Don’t worry.

 

[Goat]

Absolutely baffles me people tune in to watch this.

Millions of people still watch normal TV, its proper mad.

When a funeral goes on for the best part of a day, they really need to have prepared more than 3 funeral marches.

Only catching the odd 5 minutes of it here and there but I'm sure I saw Andrew and Harry not in uniform earlier, I thought it had been agreed they were going to be?

Is that only for the service to come? None of the coverage made reference to it but I didn't expect them to.

I've not seen any of it so not sure about the uniform protocol.
What colour hats are the princesses wearing mate? That;s what I want to know.

 

[lancs blue]

Hearse has no number plates. Loads of police around and no one has noticed. Clamp the thing damn you

 

[lancs blue]

Neither are leaders of a regiment any more.

I thought prince andrew was head of the girls brigade

Feels like the international break Sunday already

They were only allowed to wear uniform for the vigils at Westminster Hall
