Hats off to him though, he been brilliant, and very supportive of his big brother.

Feeling more warmth for him now. Nice to see he finally got a uniform on as well. Him and Andrew not allowed them but the only 2 to have seen real service...

I find that weird...and amusing.

Parmy…he was never going to say he is not doing it….and I have to question where he has been ‘supportive’ other than turning up.
However it’s great seeing them together in their uniforms to honour their grandmother.

We just happened to be in Scotland on holiday visiting friends in Aberdeen while the Queen was lying in State in Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. We drove down, not to queue, as we had a long drive ahead of us back to Aberdeen, but just to lay flowers, pay our respects and stand by the Cathedral, knowing the Queen was inside, close by.
It was so worth it, the atmosphere was quite surreal - solemn yet uplifting at the same time.
It is just amazing that currently in London millions of people will queue for hours on end; some overnight, in the cold, such loyalty and devotion! I can’t think of another death that has inspired such a remarkable reaction as our Queen’s demise has, and not just in the UK, but internationally. We will never see another like her.

You should have fained injury, the medical tent route shaved 2 hours of the wait in edinburgh...

So one of my elderly asthmatic customers informed me after her escapade wheezing up the royal mile on Monday.

He stood facing the crowds coming in...almost like the first thing they saw, whilst his brother william was kn the opposite end, only visible if people turned their heads.


Strong and supportive imo..he knows what side his butters on.

Perhaps he was put there so he couldn’t be seen to be ignored…
