God save the Queen (RIP 21-4-1926 - 08-09-2022)

A tough word to spell. I suppose they had a reasonable stab at it?

Luckily for them, the queue's got longer so it's now London Bridge.

Second attempt just now. Better effort but still no cigar...

Msut be a London thing. I have no idea what you're on about.

I like the democratic nature of the file by, no dress code plenty of jeans and trainers, diverse ethnic group, all ages - apparently no celebrities jumping the queue. The changing of the guard, very elaborate but perfectly in sync. Some things we still do rather well in dear old Blighty.

We've always been a world leader when it comes to queuing and queuing etiquette

I don't think Biden will be joining the back of the queue.

Not the funeral in general, the coffin file by, it's very democratic and egalitarian.

I don't see any people in wheelchairs or a ramp to help them down the stairs!

There is wheelchair access to one side - no need for ramp on those stairs. There have been plenty of people in wheelchairs paying their respects.

Wheelchair users not allowed. They are prone to spontaneous combustion. Did you not know this Derek?
But joking (?) aside there is this.

Little bit unfair that by Sky imo. I haven'tt been watching any of it but when flipping through the channels last night Sky were showing a line of police officers filing past the coffin. I doubt they had to queue for very long but nobody made an issue out of it.

You expect the general public to complain about stuff like that especially online but it shows what the media have become when they resort to that level of pettiness too.

[Emmson]

Not for me Pat, I want to be in the know about things like that. I adore

Transparency

'In the know' and 'transparency' imply some kind of cover up or scandal.

If the headline was 'MP's bribe Beefeaters to jump the queue' or 'Theresa May elbows granny out of the way' then that would be a story.

I'd rather die than join the back of that queue. I've often walked out of shops if there's a queue at the tills.

Yeah me too Derek, this is not not the greatest queue in British history as that would be on the beaches of Dunkirk in May 1940
