One thing the whole spectacle has done for me is dispel the myth the Monarchy are no longer relevant.

 

[Droolinggimp]

E: about the tiles not the monarchy. lol

What a spectacular and moving march down to the Abbey, bought a lump to my throat.

Oh my God, you're right, the black tiles are cut off on the left-hand side.

Cant afford to relay them buckingham palace is undergoing a multi multi million pound revamp

 

[Lysander]

so are the whites ones??

Well yes, but the black ones stand out more.

This little tid bit has properly done me.

The wreath on top of the Queen’s coffin contains myrtle - the ancient symbol of a happy marriage. It was cut from a plant that was grown from a sprig of myrtle from Her Majesty’s wedding bouquet in 1947.

Not serving royals

Aren't they allowed to wear the uniform given they both served as opposed to honorary titles?

Being stripped of royal titles, fine, but not allowed to wear earned titles?

I'm sure there will be a good reason.

Can't think there's a single building built in the last hundred years that compares to this.

Princess Charlotte looks adorable in her little wee hat.

It's the swinging of her legs that's tickling me!

I wonder what the combined audience figures are for this.

I am really hoping... really, really hoping that Meghan finally gets it now. Her attempt to finish the American Revolution by destroying our Royal Family has not endeared her to me. But there's always hope!

Except when Liz Truss speaks. Then I get gloomy again.
