I heard there was going to be colour coded sections, you get a coloured band and can leave that section to get food and drink and use the toilet.
Then come back to that section.
Then come back to that section.

Not aimed at you PB! But how do you police it? Whats stopping me from joining the back of the queue now, getting a red band. Then going to work, then home, back to the queue in 28 hours time right near the front.

Well yes but…
I live in Gateshead so it’s not like it’s local and I can go after work, mainly though my missus is in hospital for an op on Friday so that wipes out the weekend.

I read that today and Monday Heathrow are cancelling some flights to cut noise when the logitistics of moving the coffin happens !
I do think it is all getting a bit OTT and silly

I agree, it is going to be quite difficult if people try and take the mick. Hopefully everyone will play by the rules and it will go smoothly

I'd be surprised if anyone queued that long.

Thats a hell of walk at the best of times!
Interesting that its going past the covid memorial wall on the South bank. I walked along it a few weeks ago and found it quite an emotional experience.

Well, it's more of a shuffle than a walk.
What has annoyed me is the anti-monarchy protestors. They're entitled to their opinions, but there is a time and a place, and a funeral is not it.

Well, there were some folk on the radio who have been camped out since yesterday...and they are at the front.
Love the way the massive display of affection and respect for HM is upsetting certain people.

no-one does it better
its the little things. Walking through the ‘tunnel’ at horse guards parade. No missing of step, all perfectly in line missing the columns, everyone gets through. then out the gates the other side.
I always fear the horses will get up to no good, alas not. So far.

It's not opened up yet though, my wife and daughter will go, be interesting how long they queue for. I'd imagine it will be a while but not 30 hrs.

Here's a nice book for you to read all about it. The Pageantry Of Britain by Julian Paget (goodreads.com)

Define "no good"; if it involves leaving "presents" that the King and his siblings had to avoid then they got up to no good
Being serious, no one in the world does this better than we do; my congratulations and admiration to all involved, particularly the bearer party.

They were in Town at 04:30 practicing on Monday morning apparantly, full volume, full bore! Bet that was amazing/annoying if you live locally!!
