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

I like how the guardsmen have their rifles slung under their arms with the barrel pointing directly at the man behind. Very poor muzzle discipline.

Try greenandextreme if you really want to see how distasteful they can be.

That was enough. It almost came across a satire because it was so cringy and edgelordy.

Ah yes, you've just had a little taste of the inclusive extreme left.

It did make me laugh how they are saying about how people have nothing better to do than attend a funeral when they are all on their spouting nonsense on a subreddit.

I should note though some of the stuff is actually valid but they are not going to get anyone on side tackling it how they do. That is not for this thread anyway.

Correct on calling this the long walk, they dont seem to be getting any nearer.

That tall guy is Matthew Magee, a former assistant private secretary to the late Queen. Standing at 7ft 2in!

Matthew Magee, Private Secretary to the Sovereign. 7' 2" apparently.

The queen was only 5’3”, he must have looked hilarious standing next to her.

Armed plod have been flagging people all day and they’re the ones with loaded guns.

I've just had a quick nap and they are still walking

That horse is fed up

 

[Psycho Ned]

This bit is very cramped, not surprised one of the horses was having a bit of a wobbler a minute ago.

These old guys doing all the marching are going to need wheelchairs by the time they finish today.

Just looked it up: it's three miles long !

 

[Stu999]

I think the people on the hill opposite have the right idea. Wouldn't want to be in that crush.

 

[Mr Jack]

Is that kid in the stripy green top holding up an etch-a-sketch?

They only cover 1.5km of it here, however double that for the bit of road they covered before actually hitting the Long Walk

I had it in my head it was only a mile long, they must only be going 2-3mph. No wonder the royal family have disappeared, probably needed a rest.

Do you guys think the King Funeral is going as big as this ?

​

Won't have long to prep for his

 

[RockLobster]

Pipers have been fantastic.

 

[bjorkiii]

Imagine if that tall chap was royalty, they would need two more pall bearers i think !

Same pomp but definitely less people will turn out. The queen was all that a lot of people have known, even people who aren’t royalists respect the queen but that won’t be the same for Charles.

Lol. Switch off my phone and PC for the day. Don't turn on the TV or radio? I mean, in some ways, I wish I could but realistically, it's not practical considering I'm at work and work from home.

Should I have done the same for the last week?

Well you should be working. Not on the Internet browsing here lol.

And why are you working in a bank holiday?
