Brown, blue or grey… or you got stoned.
Though to be fair, I don’t think the person who has coloured these photos has done a great job. Looks like a kid did it

Hill walking it is then.Unfortunately
Probably get there and it’ll be closed… as a mark of respect.
I think it's pushed me into the dislike camp. It's not the funeral and all the pomp and ceremony, it's just that it's reminding me of the unfairness of it all. Normally we don't see them much on the news, this has just made it all very obvious.

xWhen was the last time the UK was normal?
I'm surprised we are still using a very traditional queuing system rather than booking slots online, or using a ticket system.
Surely the country could stretch to at least using some Post Office machines.

Thats treasonous
How much are the jewels the crown stole worth?
Priceless.
Theyve said hard to value because they have actual value (carats and stuff) but uniqueness value too.
Reckon The Imperial Crown alone is worth a few billion (it has a few massive/famous/old jewels in it)
He’s short on options … he’s not had a lobotomy
The Kohinoor diamond has a range of values but lower estimates tend to be around the £200m mark with upper estimates around £600m.
Very disrespectful (too soon!). There is a time and a place for that.
‘HRH attained a very favourable rate in the negotiations for the jewels’Wow
Wonder how much they paid for it when they bought it back in the day.
And The Crown goes RTJ

India wants it back unless the receipt can be produced
Pretty sure this scholar brought the subject of the British Empire up at the start of this video...Wow

I'd say that will definitely happen.
I think most people are still indifferent. A lot of this is just bandwagoning and the media being dramatic and whipping up a frenzy as per usual. There’s a lot of piss boiling going on which is quite funny though.
Side note, the crown used in the coronation is worth $2-4bn which is mental.
Could nearly get a nice swap deal for united
Getting my hair cut tomorrow.
Wawawiwa.
Not so much all this nonsense, do think going from the reasonably placid kind looking old lady to her son will see a sharp royal family popularity drop though.
@Revaulx what do you make of the music for the service? The Queen clearly liked Croft to have 2 of his pieces in the service but I can't lie and say I'm not a tad disappointed they aren't going to do Purcell's funeral sentences. Hopefully Weir's new piece is as good as the incredible Psalm 104 commissioned for Philip's funeral.
It was South Africa who 'gave' it to the royals and some of their MPs do want it back.

This just made me imagine the scenes on here if the House of Windsor purchased United
Charles having to sign the contracts isn't gonna be a pretty sight..
He’ll delegate that to a subject
Damn, thanks god she's still around.
It's absolutely crazy to see people spend the night there when they really didn't need to
Had a friend who said if Putin wanted to cause WW3/more chaos he may not get a better chance with a lot of world leaders etc. in one place. Whilst there is a almost absolutely no chance it would happen, it did make me wonder if it crossed his mind

Surely they’ll be doing Purcell’s Thou Knowest Lord as part of the Croft? I think the Croft/Purcell hybrid has been sung at every royal funeral since whenever.
I’m looking forward to the Weir. Less so the MacMillan; his stuff is rather variable. I don’t like the Parry; the stop-start changes of mood always sound rather daft. Not a fan of O Taste And See either; in fact I think most of the music composed for her coronation is awful. And I’ll have to go into the cellar to sort out more beers during the vile The Lord’s My Shepherd. I dunno; maybe years of singing this stuff has turned me into a jaded old git.
We are planning on going for a walk post-funeral, so I’m afraid we will miss the Windsor bit. A shame, because I love the Harris.
If the modern practice of singing a Nunc Dimittis were being followed, it’s worth bearing in mind that she was a big fan of Harwood in A flat. I’d honestly prefer that.
