Queen Elizabeth II has passed away - keep posts civil and respectful

[Mr Jack]

Why is Harry wearing his uniform. Is that allowed?

Edward and Harry were given permission to wear uniform for the vigil.

Why not, Charles apparently gets on with him OK, in the midst of this energy crisis how many more suppliers of gas and oil should we fall out with?

Bit hypocritical given the snub to other nations leader on the basis of human rights

 

[Psycho Ned]

Why is Harry wearing his uniform. Is that allowed?

He got special permission from Charles.

Though as I heard earlier it's a bit ridiculous the 2 people from the Royal Family who actually saw active combat (Harry & Andrew) were the 2 disallowed from wearing military uniform!

Does anyone else think of ryan air when looking at the blue part of the flag over the coffin?

For the funeral there are multiple heads of state and Royals arriving, including such high status people as the Emperor of Japan, and not one has made any qualms about using a bus, albeit a posh bus, to ferry them to the service. Yet Biden has to have the huge convoy and his own armoured 'Beast'. I wonder why that is?

Because nobody really cares about the rest of them and he's a massive target for the nutters?

Not the Nazi one no, people didn't like it.

I will be wearing a black top with sparkly hearts on it on Monday. As the Queen loAre you wearing black/dark clothing to watch the funeral?

Lovely tribute from Princess Eugenie on her instagram account.

In this day and age I wonder if I dare take this as satisfying my curiosity as to whether you are male or female?

If someone is treated with exception it is likely because they are the boots upon our head.

I hope nobody minds me posting the below video in this thread. I felt it fitting, as this thread is devoted to Queen Elizabeth II.

Props to Beck's to be fair.

Aye, I like his Peaky Blinders cap too.

Because he said "I'm not travelling in a damn bus!" and no-one dares disagree with him?

Quite common with us oldies, went out myself only the other day with my cardie buttoned incorrectly

Because he is American and thinks he is more important than the rest of the Heads of State.

 

[One More Solo]

And yet we’re letting him do it, so he probably is?

Or we are gutless and cannot stand up to the Americans?

The American president cannot walk down the street at home. Meeting the people as here would be a security issue. It is just what they are used to.
