Sorry if we’ve had this already.

Or they could have put her in one of the Elizabeth line tube carriages and she could shuttle along the line with all the mourners lining the station platforms along the route.

I think you'll find that OUR queue is very good-natured and eccentric.

Is someone going to tell him?

The BBC just referred to the Dartford Crossing as "somewhere with particular relevance to the Queen".

 

[tommers]

Would she go Dartford?

i hope they shut the queue very suddenly in front of some people who have been there all night, 'sorry, you just missed out - gotta move the box'.

Presumably this has to happen, someone has to be at the front of the queue when they close? Unless I guess they decide at a point that no-one further back than x place in the queue is going to make it in time, and tell everyone behind that to go away. That would the sensible way to do it. But there will still be someone right behind the cut off point who so nearly made it.

 

[pbsmooth]

I don't think they plan to do it quite so suddenly! as you say, I think they will stop people queuing well in advance so anyone who queues does indeed get in.

TfL, taking their inspiration from the taliban, have banned busking,

I see the DUP have wheeled out their leading theoretician.

The QE Queue is full, it's still a weekday, wtf will it be like tomorrow???

Do they have a bet about who can say the most ridiculous thing?

There's a thread for the Queue. Apparently people are queuing to join the Queue now it's been paused but it will be suspended for at least 6 hours. Can see it backing up to Essex at this point.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Fuck, The QE Queue is closed for now as it is at capacity, but people will still be arriving in Southwark Park, so where will those people go? In a queue for The Queue....

Have we had "the Queen's yacht is a model of frugality" yet?


Also laughed at this one:

I heard a busker on LBC complaining that it meant 25% of his income gone for the period of the ban.

Part of me sympathises, part of me thinks well you chose busking and bad weather and state funerals and shit happens.
Gotta take the rough with the smooth or get a real job. Not a get to choose my own hours and do what I love job.

Happy toast is gammon baiting .

I'm not even sure if this is meant to be some twee 'the kindly old spirit of the queen will be with them' thing or more of a 'the malicious evil spirit of the queen will haunt their every moment, like something out of a Ring-era Japanese horror film' thing.

Front page of RAC website

Fwiw, one of my housemates works in a RAC call centre - no day off on Monday, no day off in lieu, no extra pay, nothing. Pricks.

'Uefa has opened disciplinary proceedings against Celtic after fans displayed anti-monarchy banners during the club's Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk.
...
Meanwhile, Uefa said it would not take action Rangers for defying its rules by playing God Save the King before their 3-0 defeat to Napoli at Ibrox later on Wednesday evening.'

Uefa charge Celtic over anti-monarchy banners

The banners were displayed by a section of Celtic fans at the club's Champions League match in Warsaw.

I'd not seen those before, "sorry for your loss Michael Fagan" is inspired.

The queue for the queue is known by the ancient term the ‘mill around’ which has been set up at Surrey Quays shopping centre.
