Youre having a whinge on a online manchester united forum. That says enough.
I'm no royalist but this is the greatest event in the history of the world.
This pundit makes a lot of sense. What teams did he play for before he retired?
Nobody does the pageantry like the British. Literally everybody does the inequality though. That’s capitalism for you.
You just can't help yourself, can you?!
That's to do with the electoral system rather than the monarchy. 50 years ago Britain had more nationalised industries than any country in the world outside of the communist bloc. It also had an 83% tax rate on top earners. Britain was certainly more royalist then than it is now. FPTP is what allows the Tories near absolute power with only a quarter of the voting age population electing them. It allows a tyranny of the minority. If we had some sort of PR electoral system then this country would almost certainly be one of the most egalitarian in the West - monarchy or not.

I had to carry my granddad in too.
There were the four male grandchildren +2. The weight was one thing, the pressure another (silence, everyone looking) but also the emotion of what I was doing.
I guess those soldiers didn't have the last bit (less of a personal link) but they had the second bit and then some.
What’s the deal with Prince Andrew?
Why is he there and why are the royal family supporting him?

Because he's the prince, and still holds the loyalty of the city guards.
Because its support your family nonce day
The title of the thread...
Great to see Liz Truss giving a reading, purely because you know how much Johnson would have LOVED to be the centre of attention here.
"And I say to St Peter, and I say to God himself... Lizzie is coming home"

It’s a display of the two most out-dated sources of man-made power in human history; the Church and hierarchical Monarchy.
Anyone spotted Sarah Ferguson?
Thought she was close to the Queen

Rudy Giuliani wasn't invited
don’t forget juergen klopp.
i think she was accidentally rounded up with the corgis and humanely destroyed.
Hes at his mother's funeral. He'll disappear again after.
She's sat in the rogues gallery with MBS, Blair and Meghan.
I can help you, if you let me.
oh leave him alone. he’s burying his mother and having to sit on his hands whilst sitting opposite a load of choir boys.
The ugly sisters were doing the grandkids vigil the other day.
They spend a lot of time bigging up God at these funerals. They should probably talk about the deceased a bit more.
MBS did a no show. Bottled it.
Shout out to her family.
I've been fooled like this before and woke up with a sore head and a litany of regrets.
Maybe the silent but deadly ones.
I just said to oates it would be great if the Queen had hung on just to make sure Boris missed out. He's missed the chance to play John Bull, he'll be seething.The title of the thread...

Are we done then, or is this just a changing of the guard?
They're treating it more as an opportunity to spread the word, the Queen is just an after-thought in all of this.
That last verse was pretty epic.
