From the BBC:

 

 

That could mean some cancellations or flights being rescheduled. Further changes are anticipated on the day of the funeral, with more detail expected in the coming days.

 

A Heathrow spokesperson said: "Out of respect for the period of mourning following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Heathrow will be making appropriate alterations to our operation.

 

"Some flights between 13:50 - 15:40 [on] Wednesday 14 September, will be disrupted to ensure silence over central London as the ceremonial procession moves from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall."

 

Passengers will be notified by their airlines directly of any changes to flights.

You're mistaking me for  a monarchist, mate.

Given your current avatar that's like me complaining about being mistaken for a fan of animated feline Sergeant Bilko rip offs

What it does show is that the founding principle of Nationalism -  the Big Nat Lie - that Scotland is different to England - is just utter twaddle.

It doesn't show that and in fact can't show possibly that till after we see what happens in England 

When they moved the Rangers vs Napoli match it was because the police were going to have to deal with hundreds of thousands of people in Edinburgh. That conspicuously didn't happen. The real story in Scotland wasn't the thousands of people on the royal mile or the dozens of protestors it's the massive apathy as the people of the capital just put their collective head down and let this blow over.

You being a lot further away and following things on TV will have had a very different view of  events in Edinburgh over the last few days very differently from those of us who actually live here.

The Telegraph on the other hand are being deliberately obtuse

Gauging Scotland's opinion of the Monarchy from a subset of Scots who turned out for a Royal event is a textbook example of the perils of a self selecting sample
