Quite. And London seems to have been built for it.

Very impressive.

On a somber note, absolutely British funeral, really moving and I’m no royalist. But feel for the entire royal family.

How do you know that for sure?

I was in Thailand when the last king died. The whole pro-longed ceremonial event was something else. The King's funeral procession along the Chao Praya river was, in particular, eerily magnificent.

Can't we just settle for having the best football league in the world, the best health service in the world, the best television service in the world, the best fish and chips in the world and all the many other things we are constantly being told we are best at?

As for ceremonies like today? We compete with the best, but let's not get carried away.

A tv audience of FOUR BILLION answers that I think. 

No royalist, but got to marvel at the pageantry on display here. 

The forces doing it for their Boss. She led by example and is getting it back in spades......

All the logic to be expected from a fourth year 'C' streamer whose life skills have been finely honed on the nearest street corner.

Explanation enough for you?

Nope. But the usual pompous self righteous drivel to be expected from you. 

Want another try... Without the unfounded  personal attacts. Try to stay on topic.... ☺

We should all remember throughout today ,that neither the queen or the rest of the royal family would p!ss on any of us if we were on fire

...thanks for the day off though

That feels a bit unfair, Prince William was a pilot for the East of England Air Ambulance for 2.5 years, there will literally be Norwich fans that he has helped to save the life of.

Prince Charles definitely has the air of somebody who still calls people peasants though, admittedly.

That the best you can do. 

More idiotic than I'd given you credit for. 

So you can't explain / clarify then. OK.

Billions of TV viewers and every important political leader of most countries in the world say you are badly wrong.

He is right about the cancelled operations bit, I don't agree with that, not when this funeral is costing £100m whilst people who have been on waiting lists for years have had letters informing that they are going back on that list. 

He's wrong about schools though, if mummy and daddy have a day off then they can look after their own kids. Apart from keyworkers, of course, they should be open for their kids.

And if I recall correctly he didn't claim a wage / paid it back either to the air ambulance or other charities.
