Queen's state funeral.

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

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

When I say I'm curious, I'm not that curious.


ETA: Although if they were carting people off for overstaying their welcome I might consider watching it for a laugh.

Here's the live stream again...

Em, dead steam, surely?

Most boring zombie fillum ever. Yawn Of The Dead.

 

[Artaxerxes]

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

All hail the hypno-queue

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I'm loving it.
Look at their faces.
They just don't know what to do with their 30 seconds with the box after queuing for 30 hours.
Riveting TV

 

[SysOut]

Which music would you play as backround to the live stream?
I'd like the Godfather theme.

 

[Raheem]

For those of us who like watching queues but don't support any monarch in particular, will there be a highlights show?

 

[danny la rouge]

My music choice, SysOut

There was the moment one old geezer who had tried to hold in a fart for 30 hours straight ended up violently following through into his sunday best trousers. The sound reverberated around the room for a full forty seconds. Then His Majesty's Groom of the Royal Mop and the Lord Custodian of the Little Tin Bucket on Wheels filed in to do the best they could with the resulting ordure, while a squadron of Beefeaters gently ushered the old 'un aside so he could be quietly shot and pushed into the Thames.

Is it just me?
Every time I hear on the radio about the coffin being surrounded by 4 candles, all I can think of is this:

Clear candidate for "funniest post of 2022"

 

[moochedit]

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.'

Have kim jong un and winnie the pooh been invited?

 

[souljacker]

One thing I really want to know is, once she's buried, does that mean the official mourn is finished? Will everything go back to normal? Straightaway like?

I fucking hope so

Not sure, but I think there might be another 7 days of lightweight mourning not entailing much.

I heard somewhere the official mourning period is 17 days. Fucked if I’m looking it up, though.

Yup, Raheem there you go: King Charles declares 17 days of mourning as royals release memorial details

 

[Johnny Vodka]

The Benny Hill theme would be wildly inappropriate.

I think it will take a while for people to let go. For the next few months any time someone leaves a box in the street a mile long queue will form behind it.

 

[Ax^]

hmm when did the planning and pr campaign about getting more people into london
and trying to make it like the queue was well managed start

 

[Raheem]

The Benny Hill theme would be wildly inappropriate.

If it were played mournfully on a cello and broken up so you got a note only every seven seconds or so, I think it could work, and it would make an excellent post-funez reveal.

 

[8ball]

HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER?!

I can’t remember that bit, just remember getting a text back.

 

[quiet guy]

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?

You incur the wrath of the queue and are tutted out of the hall

 

[rekil]

I watched a bit to judge the bows.

That's a joke page right, like scarfolk or the Onion? It can't be real.
