An American friend posted me a youtube link to an Australian news channel video talking about the possibility of a terrorist attack.

The video was blocked in the UK when I clicked to view it. I've never seen that happen before.

All these world leaders in one place would a terrorist strike ever be possible or is the security too good, I know how secret is the best in world but it takes one mistake?

Well that's you on a list!

Well that's you on a list!

I think it's highly unlikely to happen our security sector is world class

 

[antijoke]

Feeling strangely emotional watching it, more than I thought I would be

Little blondie back again as pall bearer. They must be using the same eight guys all the time.

It's a shame that BBC iPlayer isn't showing this is UHD. I'd have thought an event of this magnitude would have been.

I never even thought about watching it there, that is a bit of a shame. I was 100% certain it would be.

Swiss cheese model is most likely being used. You would need multiple failures for something to go "wrong"

I'm waiting for that orb to fall off. They must have really glued it on.

 

[Lysander]

How does the orb not fall off the coffin?! That's some serious balancing skills!

Maybe superglue.

Do they not take them off so they can preserve them in the museum or wherever they normally are kept?

The security on this must be immense - Most of the worlds leaders all in one church

Guessing the reason the Navy has such a presence is due to being the branch which remains loyal only to the crown?

• David Attenborough
• Kiri Te Kanawa
• Sandra Oh

Nice to good 'ol Attenborough there.

I under stand why David Attenborough has been invited, but with all due respect what have the other two done that lead to them being invited?

Yeah it's part of the Crown Jewels. The orb and sceptre will be held by Charlie at his coronation.

They are bolted on through the coffin, if you look closely you can see the orb is sitting in a cradle
