I don't think anyone who watched today's funeral could have failed to be moved by it, this country might be crap at a lot of things but pomp and ceremony is what we do better than any other country. So impressed with those young Grenadier guards moving the coffin.. and the Royal Naval ratings pulling the gun carriage.. all passed off without mishap. And, yes, the lone piper brought a lump to the throat.. he should have played for longer. So endeth the reign of our much loved and respected Queen who dedicated her life to serving this wonderful country of ours.. we are a proud nation with a wonderful history and tradition exemplified by our Royal family.
RIP ma'am… and long live the King!

Anyone else continuously slow marching in the mind to the sound of the ticking second hand whilst trying to get off to sleep tonight?
Not Cowes obviously.

Yes, you don't have to be a supporter of the nation's most dysfunctional family to appreciate a moment of poignancy.

No offence, totally understand the feelings of many people towards our Queen & Country, the Queen especially.
Like to think I'm very passionate towards our flag and country, but I think differently. Don't think the Monarchy embodies the “best of Britain”. It’s the opposite for me. It’s the enduring embodiment of the worst of Britain: inherited wealth + privilege, a rigid class system, structural racism, imperialism, and unaccountable power. Good time to move on now from this.

Second bit too

Yes, any change has to be with the will of the people and incremental unless as normally happens when there’s a dinlo in charge the people decide to unceremoniously get rid. Question now is will Charlie keep out of politics? His time would be better used booting Andrew and all the other hangers on out into the real world.

Word is in January that's exactly what he's going to do.

Is this a footy thread.....?

I didn't watch it, went to the gym, walked the dog, watched a film, went to the pub. I don't feel I missed out but several people, none here, were aghast I didn't want to
. Watch History being made . Pay respects Each to their own I say, just don't hoist your royalism on me, my basket of fucks is empty in that regard.

I didn't watch it find royalty an alien concept .Read William has inherited £1.5 billion ( Cornwall ,Oval, and more) from Charlie ,thinking that's just wrong then thought if instead it went to the state this government would sell it off and it would probably end up in the hands of some Arab prince or American investment bank .

How true.. And who gains from all of this? In scenario 1, the politicians supporting the Crown end up with a gong or better, a place in the unelected House of Lords and in scenario 2, the politicians behind this, end up with a seat on the board and a six-figure pay-off, I mean 'salary'. Mind you, looks like Liz has got her eye on both. |
