Today, in MournHub, the extraordinary queue to get into Westminster hall to look at a flag-bedraped coffin that may or may not have a Queen in it is past Bermondsey and through Southwark park, over 5 miles away. And they’ve finally decided the queue is at capacity!

 

Dear god in heaven.

Does someone need a hug?

 

We all grieve differently, it seems you do in anger.

Come here bud

…where was the anger?

 

You take this mildly amused bewilderment as anger, when the post above is once again a spit of venom towards Meghan Markle who has fuck all to do with what we were talking about?

The Queue™ is indeed a Great British triumph. This is the Mother of all Queues. The Boss Queue. It is essentially the queue we have been training for all our lives.

Now that they have paused The Queue™, Brits have taken it upon themselves to form a queue to get in The Queue™. This is because one does not simply pause The Queue™.

We shall queue in London, we shall queue in the seas and oceans, we shall queue on the beaches, we shall queue on the landing grounds. We shall never stop queuing.

I looked away  for ten minutes, saw the latest replies and thought: man, I didn't know Canadian politics got folk so worked up!

Yodas on the in-laws side. He won't make the funeral though, terrible case of being dead. And fictional.

 

Sorry if that spoiled a forty year old film for folks.

Based on social media posts I've seen, if they removed everyone from "The Queue" who has ever spelt it as "que", it'd probably be a two-hour queue at most.

It's far from complete as the Abbey can hold 2200 people but interesting to note that, thus far, no former British PMs or no former US Presidents are listed.

Is there any other source for Constantine II of Greece attending than that Telegraph article that says that "there'll be some guys from Greece"?

 

Interesting that Simeon II will attend. As well as Cornelius A. Smith, Bahamas Gov-Gen who I recall had some health problem a couple of months ago. Lots and lots of good form spotting opportunities. Another interesting name to see on the list is Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, Ashanti ruler.

The media should demand that Prince Andrew's daughter does a walk about with the people waiting in line just so the can use that headline.

Thanks . Two interesting things in that list to me. This list includes  The Duchess of Kent and a number of former Prime ministers of Canada are invited for some reason but not other countries like Australia or even the UK.

Was Canada particularly special to her?

I saw that and thought that it had far too much of a tabloid feel to it for the BBC.

It's as if someone in their news room turned their nose up and said "He's a former elite athlete so how dare he eat crisps and doughnuts!!"

It's cited, but it's a weird hodge podge of speculation and actual announcements. 

 

As an example, the Canadian Prime Ministers information comes from Trudeau himself, so is presumably accurate.

 

The Duchess of Kent is however based on a Telegraph article that... doesn't mention her at all. (In fairness, it may have done in an earlier draft, but the Telegraph article is speculation and conjecture, not hard fact.)

The BBC site is a tabloid now.  They are even referring to the Princess of Wales as "Kate". 

It's been made abundantly clear for a long time that she's called Catherine.

I hate it when the media foist their own nicknames and diminutives on people.

I've just looked at that link - that's a lot of people!  Seriously?

Good to see Phil and Holly getting bollocked for jumping the queue to see her Maj, laying there, all vulnerable.....giving me the right fuckin 'orn....

Piers Morgan, apparently ripped Isabel Oakeshott and MP's for jumping the queue.

I'd be commending Beckham for queuing for hours if he wasn't a publicity seeking cunt.
