Default Private planes and helicopters banned and Foreign Dignataries to be busse to Abbey


Foreign heads of state and their partners attending the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II have been asked to arrive in the UK on commercial flights and have been banned from using helicopters to move around the capital.



n addition, they have been told they will not be able to use their own official cars to attend the funeral, scheduled for Monday 19 September, but will instead be bussed to Westminster Abbey from a site in west London en masse, Politico reports.

Official documents obtained by the outlet circulated to embassies on Saturday also confirmed that only the heads of state and their partner from each country have been invited.

The official capacity of Westminster Abbey is 2,200 people, and it is expected to be full to the point that having more than one senior representative for each nation plus a spouse would be untenable.

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office said in the protocol document that it “regrets that, because of limited space at the state funeral service and associated events, no other members of the principal guest’s family, staff or entourage may be admitted”.


Liz would approve

Quite right too! Sick of hearing those brain-dead hypocrites telling us all we need to make sacrifices to save the earth, while taking private jets everywhere.

He's as much a former President as anyone else until he's found guilty in a court of law, he's as much a part of the conversation as any other living ex-Prez.

This is where I don't get the argument for republicanism because every 4 years you would have someone who is politically divisive, I cant see Scottish people lining up to honour a dead Tory President for example.

The Monarchy are a unifying force in the main

Trump didn't attend Biden's inauguration after refusing to accept the reality that he lost, which he lied about and then tried to do a coup because his feefees were hurt.

It's not spiteful or nasty for the current president not to invite the guy who tried to end democracy.

This is why I don't understand... why the sour orange still gets mentioned.
