Love how it’s desribed as a crowd bursting into song when it’s just 4 or 5 people putting in absolutely zero effort into singing two lines of the national anthem.
Edit: lol at all us all being given queen avatars, almost weirder than the above video.

it is probably just me but am I in a minority here who does not even know the words to the national anthem outside of the obviously 2 lines.

Monday 19th September. Also declared as a Bank Holiday.
Think I'll take the day off too.

Yeah I saw. I was due to complete on my house purchase on Tuesday 20th, not sure if that will be affected as the mortgage money usually gets transferred the day before I believe.

Interesting that my employer has blocked booking online delivery slots on 19th on the website.

I doubt there'll be much open.

Not been given any info. Won’t be happy if going to miss the funeral.
Normally I don’t read my dept’s WhatsApp group or the intranet stuff when on holiday. This time maybe an exception to the rule. As scheduled to return to work on 19th.
Plus have an app to check schedules and book leave - so may change later.
Probably won’t hear anything til Monday now

All Royal warrent companies should be closed for the day

I wouldn't worry about it - no-one here is going to hang you for treason. If you were in America, however...
Also, there's been several different additions to it over the years, including the slightly awkward one where it mentions crushing the scots due to the Jacobite uprising of the mid 1700's, the anti-french one and the french-composed one which begins 'God save the Guillotine.'

I can't be the only one thinking it, but the Princess of Wales looked a vision of regal elegance today.

She will be missed by all
It's all about the hair. Keep the sides long and comb them back, then wait for them to go grey and boom: royalty.
As is seeing Charles's face on banknotes, that's the big one for me for some reason.

For some reason just banknotes do it for me...
I’m alright with the note’s, well depending on how he looks on them. Won’t get used to stamps though, I see them everyday at work and it’s been the same portrait for 50 years so a complete change will be strange.

19th is a bank holiday? Bugger I'm traveling to Germany for work! Was interested in seeing the procedure.
