That looks like something people need to run away from in Dr Who

The Brazen Leeches

 

[MickiQ]

The one of the Queen looks more like Agnes Brown than Brenda.
Tbh without the article telling me it's Brenda and Phil The Greek I wouldn't have realised

The one of the Queen

It’s not the Queen. It’s the Late Queen.

 

[Saul Goodman]

It’s not the Queen. It’s the Late Queen.

Unfashionably late.

 

[Dystopiary]

I think she looks like a Jennifer Saunders character, you know how she does that almost-smirk and slightly raised eyebrow.

 

[maomao]

It’s not the Queen. It’s the Late Queen.

She's not late, you're early!

I'm most worried about the giant fucking corgi tbh. It's nearly twice the height of an average corgi (prince Philip just under six foot and knee height approx 30% of total height, average corgi is 25-30 cm) so must be around eight times the mass.

 

[danny la rouge]

She's not late, you're early!

I’d like to be earlier than all of them, then.

 

[T & P]

Philip looks far more like a young King Felipe of Spain than Phil the Greek…

 

[MickiQ]

It’s not the Queen. It’s the Late Queen.

Camilla isn't Queen, our rightful Queen will always be Diana

 

[Saul Goodman]

Camilla isn't Queen, our rightful Queen will always be Diana

"our" ?

 

[brogdale]

"our" ?

"rightful" ?

 

[Pickman's model]

She's already di'd

 

[Elpenor]

She's already di'd

Died In A Nasty Accident as my history teacher cheerfully told us the day before the funeral

He was Welsh too now I think about it - could have been Ern

 

[stavros]

Giving Phil brown skin seems like an oversight.

Prince Philip looked far scarier in life, than in lame statue form.

 

[Pickman's model]

Giving Phil brown skin seems like an oversight.

Should have been revenant mottled grey

 

[ouirdeaux]

It looks to me as though Philip's jacket buttons right over left, which is wrong. Whereas Liz's seems to be left over right, though it's harder to tell with that one.

You're not wrong. Mr QE II is wearing a "femaIe" jacket.

well spotted

Hmmm....

can I be the first to pop the traditional question -

"Do we get a bank holiday for the funeral?"

 

[danny la rouge]

"rightful" ?

“Always”

 

[lazythursday]

I can't imagine the queue will be that long to sign the book of condolence for this one.

Somewhere in a cold damp basement, a Royal engraver inks his fountain pen and attempts to make the "W" and "V" of King William V look distinctive enough for selection.

 

[Wkdloz]

I still can't think of her as 'The Queen' To me she'll always be Charles's bit on side as for him he's the fellow who preferred a carthorse to a racehorse.

Women aren't horses.

No need for that. You can slag off the royals without being a misogynist.

 

[lazythursday]

Not only is it misogynistic it really doesn't make sense as an analogy. Was Diana especially speedy? (except in final moments?).
