Some people in Edinburgh were going multiple times. I hope that's not allowed in London as it just increases the queue length for everybody.
Queen Elizabeth II has passed away - keep posts civil and respectful

I honestly don't know why people would bother waiting but at the same time I think it's quite nice. I'd prefer to stay at home but then I'm an incel.

BBC have, similar to authorities, had lots of time to prepare for a 4K HDR broadcast - who will be the commentator
Tom Fleming ?! he had his largest audience ever – an estimated 700 million listeners worldwide – when he and Angela Rippon described the wedding of Lady Diana Spencer to Prince Charles.
Dimbleby ? (...Samuel L)

Ant and Dec.
It is a 5 mile walk to the back of the queue isn't it?

Get on the bus.
But yes, I doubt many people are going to queue up for 30 hours and then again for another 30

You realise its not compulsory right? Its up to the discretion of employers whether they close or not its not a public holiday and I'm almost certain I'll be in work monday unless they have some last minute change of heart.
It is compulsory to an extent though. If you normally work Monday's and you are still expected to go in this Monday you will get a days holiday in lieu.

I do. It's like a normal bank holiday so schools etc will be shut.
The whole thing is still ridiculous, in my humble and respectful opinion of course.
You'll be gobsmacked when you learn what the other bank holidays are "for".
This will depend on the individual employer surely?
If they operate a 'X Days leave including Bank Holidays' style policy then their employees may not necessarily get anything extra, it'll be at the individual discretion of the employer.

It's so depressing to see how many people in the crowd are witnessing this event viewed through their bloody phone.
I'd imagine it's hard for the directors to cut to a shot of the crowd where people are actually watching it.
Modern times I guess.....

Think its a mark of respect I heard the commentator say

Commentator did mention something about that. Think it's a respect thing. Not sure why.
I imagine the only flexibility employers will have is if employees aren't contracted to work Mondays (or the contract is super vague), other than that, I'd think they'd need some real word spaghetti to get out of giving a statutory day off.
Even in your example of X days + bank holidays, the number of bank holidays is now +1.

Does anyone know why some of the royals are in military uniform, whilst others are in suits? King Charles, William, and Anne seem to be in uniform, Harry and Andrew in suits.
