OK, but we can still fairly say: The most important non-sports event the world will ever see.
The peer who organised the Queen's funeral has been banned from driving for six months, despite claiming he needed his licence to arrange the King's upcoming coronation.
Edward Fitzalan-Howard, the 18th Duke of Norfolk, was caught using his mobile phone while driving in Battersea, south-west London, on 7 April.
He admitted the offence, at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court earlier.
He had hoped to avoid a ban by claiming "exceptional hardship".
“Exceptional hardship”
It is his occasional responsibility to be at the top of the organisation pyramid of minions that deals with royal weddings, jubilees, coronations and funerals. That’s his job. That’s why he‘s a duke, because he’s inherited this responsibility from his forebears.
If it’s an exceptional hardship for him to have to make phone calls because of his job, then so it is for anyone else whose job obliges them to make phone calls.

wonder what was wrong with his driving
which could kill someone....going through a red light

I'm a cyclist and have no time for those who jump the lights. They should learn to relax.But The Cyclists
Or, you know, even without the points...He already had 9 points so shouldn't have been talking on his phone and running red lights.
I thought that went without saying..Or, you know, even without the points...
