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

I wonder what the combined audience figures are for this.

Half the planet?

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.

They are allowed to wear their medals but the uniform is for currently serving members of the military and for serving royals, of which they are neither..

They were allowed to wear the uniform during their vigil around the coffin.

It's really quiet out, almost like a England footy semi final!

I think it could run into the billions

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.

Better her than her predecessor.

Yeah, I noticed that there has been little to no movement on my street.

I have never seen so little red in the centre of London

What a load of drivel. Why not take your crap to the Meghan bashing one.

Last night there were no drunk people around. And on a bank holiday weekend too!

Probably because everywhere is closed. Not much to do for those that aren't fussed. I'm almost out of tea bags and bog roll

I’ve got some, come and grab them.

I wasn’t interested in it at all leading up to today, but my other half is, so I’m sat watching and it’s absolutely amazing.

The black and white tiles aren’t laid right, had my OCD going off massively

They are.

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.

Is it true that the gems used in her crown was stolen in Africa?

Crazy if true!

Our corner shop is open today

 

[Lysander]

This is a pretty good speech.

Our corner shop is open today

Ours has already sold out of White Lightning this morning.

 

[LabR@t]

Local shop open as normal

 

[Robbo]

The military procession up to Westminster Abbey, with the bell tolling in the background...

Awe-inspiring.

I have ran out of sugar, bread, about half a cup of milk left, 1 and half bog roll and a few grams of baccy left. I have 3 kids to feed in the morning before school and get their pack ups done, no way I am draggin all 3 to the local off licence at 5 when it opens, hope the wife gets back from work before the local tesco petrol station closes.

What a speech by the archbishop

 

[Rilot]

I wonder what the combined audience figures are for this.

They are saying 4.1 billion people.
Which is double the total population of the planet when the queen was born in 1926.
