So wheeled to the church in a Wheely bin then.I think the amount of fuss should be proportional to the length of the reign, so Charles should only get 2/70ths of the palaver his mother got if he goes soon, 3/70ths if he hangs on for another year.
Do you think we'll have the same hoo haa this time with mile long queues of silly buggers wanting to gawp at a coffin? I can't see it really, the Queen was around forever (well it felt like it) I don't think many people give two shits about Charlie. It'll still all cost us a pretty penny unfortunately.Oh lord, another huge ridiculous state funeral, followed by another huge, ridiculous coronation.

He's not given us value for money of he kicks the bucket so soon, I expect at least another 30 years of service!
They had the perfect opportunity to call it a day after her death but they will insist on hanging on to that gravy train instead of giving back. You're right that something has to give but I can't see ot coming from them or the public, too many still love all the pomp and the ceremonial bullshit traditions. We should have done what the French did, maybe we need another couple of hundred years to get with the times.Depends if the monarchy is seen as relevant over the coming years. All that money and glitz, and for what? The gap between the haves and have nots ever widening, food banks, appalling struggles to stay above the poverty line.
Something's got to give, surely.
Re - charles - I'm in it for the day off.I mean, they could be making more concrete plans, I guess, but there are always plans for a monarch's funeral from the moment they take the throne, so just having plans for it means nothing. Even i have a couple of things about my funeral in my will and will be buying a funeral plan as soon as I turn 50, and my funeral won't even require roads to be closed or foreign heads of state to be invited. Dammit.
yes - good idea, his body should be displayed in a gibbet until it has completely rottedCould he at least hang on until the new year deathlist thread starts?
Then it's king willie's turn.yes - good idea, his body should be displayed in a gibbet until it has completely rotted
Then it's king willie's turn.
A beautiful statement and call for justice that we can all agree with.
The fear is in his eyes, he knows what's coming.I won't link from Twitter directly, here's the content of the message:
King Charles III views the Pyroton fire demonstration during a visit to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) at the National Bushfire Behaviour Research Laboratory, to learn about burn over protection systems, and bushfire behaviour research.

Farquhar by name, Farquhar by nature.Some fox hunting, toff mate of Charles has died after he got pissed and got stuck between the wall and his bed. One of the more unusual ways to go. (sorry the link's from the Torygraph)

Charles never gets out of bed himself, he has a servant for thatI wonder if he was so pissed that he tried to get out of bed on the wrong side?
I must make sure I never move my bed so one side is against the wall, just in case...
That's a lot of garlic round his neck, never knew Samoa was vampire land!Figuring that the people that dress Windsor are not familiar with Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)?

Ian Farquhar, 78, an Old Etonian and prominent huntsman, was found with his legs up in the air above his bedside table.
One shouldn't laugh at personal tragedy, but
