The Queen

[Hilly]

A pony i bred leading the tebay remembrance drive .

 

[DeeGee]

Did she have both sets of gear?

Are we still talking about the pony or the driver?

Doubt anyone who was at the service could have departed from Brize Norton at 12.50. The service was an hour and the coffin didn't leave for quite a while after that. No way did anyone other than the Royals leave before 12.30

I have deleted my post as realise it was incorrect.

Her Majesty made history on Monday and reminded some that had forgotten

I doubt I'll ever see the same in my lifetime

Yesterday I bought a copy of the Daily Mail (my first) as I judged the photographic record was the best for my souvenir that I shall keep back and show my Grand children

King Charles is away to Balmoral for a week to grieve privately. Even there I guess he cannot escape matters of the State and the red boxes

Britain showed it's best face on Monday and over the past weeks; all Nations.

I find it hard to believe that many republicans were created recently either

What an amazing 10 days

De Gaulle, now there was a mercurial bloke at the best of times.

If you want to know how some of the traditions for the Queens funeral came about, this is a good read. Painfully funny in places, and would make an excellent comedy film.

They obviously learned by their mistakes, and everything was planned down to the last step for the Queen. Congratulations to all involved.

It's not just celtic fans who enjoy a good singalong as it now includes the young famers at the national ploughing championships

Some will argue that they are in the south but there is clearly yfcu shirts in the video.

I heard a Radio 4 interview yesterday. Some people had complained that the BBC funeral coverage wasn't diverse. It didn't encompass the views of the anti monarchists (the young, the Welsh and the Scottish) or the black and Asian community or indeed the immigrants. I despair.

I was at the ploughing and never heard a thing

Was at Windsor yesterday at the long walk gates nearest to the Castle to see and add to the flowers.

Youth present doing the same wearing a “Grassmen” shirt ( No Farmers, No Food, No Future )

Good on him.

How long should it take to update an email header?

As it is something that will have to be done by civil servants, it may take months I would expect
