Hopefully energy and fuel prices drop now as a mark of respect to the Queen. I wonder if those OAPs in their dingy one bed flats wear black when trying not to freeze to death this winter.

Hundreds of millions well spent on this 12 day event imo.

The world doesn’t work the way you think

People don’t work for nothing even those collecting for charity get paid.

They could have had a nice , tasteful funeral and all that money could have gone to the NHS , the homeless or something worthwhile

They did that at Prince Philip's funeral too.

It really hit me too then as now today too.

What a day, I'm just full of admiration on the organising of this what a worthy send off for Her Majesty.
There were odd times of tedious sections but all of this has just been superb in my view.
Just as near perfect as anything could be.

Very moving….

Ideally the journey down the Long Walk and the service at Windsor was the best part and many would say all that was needed.
This mornings gathering and service in London was for the World leaders to come together and pay their respects to a much respected and admired Monarch. A simple service at Windsor was not befitting such a a Queen reigned for 70 years.
The pomp and pageantry was faultless and just amazing….it’s all part of our heritage…nobody does it better and that’s why tourists flock to this country of ours.

One positive thing i'll say though, at least the royals are good for employment. Must 100 thousand people involved in setting all this up.
