Queen's state funeral.

[DaphneM]

Why? Genuinely curious as to what people are getting from this.

why not, doesn't happen often, I finished work at 4, went down with a friend, thought if the queue looked ridiculously long we would have a pint by the river, if not then would have a look. queue moved really fast to begin with and then slowed down massively.

A story about queuing to see a box

A story based closely on reported MSM facts about the queue.

A story about queuing to see a box

We used to know how to behave when we had famous people in boxes in London

isnt it over yet... its worse than the tory leadership race

 

[bmd]

The cunt Bolsonaro is coming over for it. Still, it'll be nice for Prince Andrew to have someone equally as awful to sit next to.

Really? Tells you everything you need to know about this fucking knackers.

Why not Putin? We should be able to come together and overcome our differences during times like this.

[not-bono-ever]

I know I should respect other peoples opinions (lol) but this Q stuff is mental.

Just had afternoon nap. Had a dream that I had a question about the running order of the funeral because my parents are visiting and may want to watch it.

So I sent a text to the Queen to check and she responded. Dumbass subconscious.

I think I saw somewhere that Putin has declined to come.

Although I'm not sure if he was invited or if he never wanted to come anyway so ner.

ETA: From a quick look at the various news reports he definitely got in his 'I'm not coming' several days ahead of the 'well you're not invited.'

What did she say?

 

[DaveCinzano]

What did she say?

HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER?!

 

[pbsmooth]

4.2 miles and approx 9 hour wait now... all the way to Bermondsey Beach (?!). I am sure more loonies are now joining it because it's become such a ridiculous 'event'.

Shame. I'm sure the buffet back at the Cons Club or wherever will be pretty good.

I'm curious what happens at the front of the queue. How long do people get with the box? If they linger more than their allotted ten seconds or whatever are they dragged off by armed goons?

And is anyone saying “Yes, that’s her”.

about 5 seconds apparently

 

[Santino]

Ideally as you enter the room they change some of the guards (which happens every 20 minutes) so you get to gawp for a couple of extra minutes before the sombre walkpast continues.

You can watch it on BBC Parliament, see for yourself.
