Had a piper playing Flower of Scotland and a rendition of God Save the Queen. The Ludge is Tyled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonglum25 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Looking forward to the highlights later on. The amount. Of brown nosing from the commentators is nauseating. It appears we have lost the greatest man ever to live how can we carry on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention that the SS wing of the descendants of the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg family got an invite and that he is widely believed to have had an affair in the 1950s with Princess Alexandra who is also there I take it?

velo army Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 The service was gorgeous actually. I loved the music and the solemnity of it. I'm no flagshagging royalist but seeing wee Queenie sitting on her own was heartbreaking. The commentary was awful afterwards. Genuine foot through the telly stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 In Normal Island, no consideration is given to whether or not its a bit tone deaf to dedicate all of this coverage to the death of a fabulously wealthy and privileged 99 year old, in a year where people have quite literally been prohibited from giving a half decent send off to lost loved ones..... 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I saw about ten seconds of coverage and some Tory toff saying "he will live forever in St George Chapel" or wherever it was. No he won't: he's deed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No actually the BBC said that people who couldn't attend their loved ones funeral will feel better seeing a different funeral of someone they didn't know on TV. Seeing the Royals stick to the covid guidelines of 30 people (plus an entire Royal regiment) will make people think they are just like us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Arrived at Morrison's at five to 3 to do the shopping. Had to wait outside until 3.02 as they prepared for, then completed, a minute's silence. Perfectly normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thoroughly displeased when the checkout lassie refused to take my messages through the till at 11am on Armistice Day when I was (politely but firmly) reminded we were on a two minute silence. Stood there like a plum with everyone else, knowing the protocol of what was going on, silently seething in my direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
