Some colleagues may not want to watch the funeral.

I am going to watch the funeral as missed a lot of the stuff. Seen Charles’ speech and a few other highlights clips online

Cardiff?

The aim is to get 3500 people through an hour so once it opens, should be a slow moving queue.

I'll update you all tomorrow evening.

Good luck with the queuing.

And I'm pretty sure the sub 100 people that make it to your funeral will respect your wishes, but it's quite a diverse group of at least 4bn people who will mourn in their own way.

A lack of decorum and social etiquette shouldn't be so easily washed away like that.

We will regret this.

It's a funeral procession why are people screaming?

I was wondering that as well.

"Welcome 'home' maj?"

You guys can't seriously be puzzled can you?

‘Proper’ Spain
Not ‘Chav’ Spain like Chavidorm, Torremolinos, etc

I remember ringing a company in America, years back, for some technical help. A lady answered and I said "Can you help me with a problem with the power supply for your model X?"

She replied, "Sorry no, I'm abroad"

So I asked when she'd be back.

"What do you mean, back?" she replied.

Well, you say you're abroad, when are you back at work, can no one else help me?"

"No, no, I am A BROAD, a woman, I'm trying to get the tech guy on the line for you"

Yanks....

They did at during Diana’s procession too. Throwing flowers onto the hearse from bridges to Althorp.

Remember the hearse driver had to stop to remove some flowers that hit the windscreen

Just looking at the guest list for the state funeral, I would not like to be in charge of security for that.

Wasn't there talk of wanting them all to get on the same bus to The Abbey, or something equally bizarre?

Did you see the video of the army getting London ready? The convoy was insane. Properly terrifying.

Glad Putin is not invited.

Felipe VI of Spain is invited as 3rd cousin once removed to the Queen.

His great grandmother was a granddaughter to Queen Victoria.

Victoria - Beatrice (youngest daughter) - Victoria Eugene - Juan - Juan Carlos - Felipe

Victoria- Edward VII - George V - George VI - Elizabeth II

Biden and his wife have said no to the bus.

Remember the Royal Family have shared buses to weddings

Let's hope it doesn't get stuck on a sleeping policeman or a ramp, like it did in Dublin, leaving the US Embassy in 2011.
