Fuck it, let's do it properly. Every single subject of Elizabeth II around the world should commit suicide at the moment her body is interred, Ancient Egyptian style. Living on after he is the ultimate insult.
Her equivalent of dusting off and nuking the site from orbit.

I'm still waiting to see the guy in the 'I was at the queen's funeral' T-shirt and Union Jack trousers.

Has anyone done anything disrespectful for the cameras yet there was a guy with a jack Russell dog, who looked like he was going to whip his dick out. Can a dog even whip it's dick out? I just thought they went round with them always sort of out

That t-shirt doesn't make sense though.

Just saw one of the guards faint on the live stream. Just as they were changing. Weird.

Thought they were calling the queen a rip off for a minute.

Woke up still thinking about this and did some research. Apparently he’d only been there 20 minutes, but it’s fairly well known in military circles and he probably locked his knees when he shouldn’t have. Poor guy, bet he feels sheepish now.

Just seen footage on TV. They're not even bothering with real news now. Just some cunts waiting days to see a box, which may not even have a corpse in it.
Government could literally bring back the Iraq war, fox hunting and poll tax now and nobody would notice/ care.

Some of those guards look quite old.

An actual pub in my city That's just down the road from me, "The Three Lions" 🙄 - the front is sometimes painted with a giant cross of St George, around Remembrance Day they don't serve customers unless they're wearing a poppy, and needless to say their display is beyond compare...

I used to commute past the pub on a daily basis.
I've never set foot inside it, for some reason.
Probably because I like my teeth.

Oaf and the Queen together at last! Losing the Queen and Oaf so close together is unbearable. Now that I think about it... I've never seen Oaf and the Queen in the same place at the same time... Could they be the same person? It's too much of a coincidence.

I just find it weird that fucking Jedward are being all political. Just seems weird to me. Makes me like them more. They’re the next Right Said Fred.

So how long does the queue take roughly? I can't find how long it is but not an approximate time.

Because of quantum physics you can either know how long the line is physically, or how much time it takes to move through, but not both.

Quantum physics aside, they said that it was moving at half a mile an hour and that it was between two and two and a half miles long, so (*sticks tongue out to do maths*) it'll take between 4 and 5 hours of queuing.

I wouldn't even wait that long for Space Mountain let alone to shuffle passed a corpse.

The live stream is slightly hypnotic, though. People watching, trying to work out who is there because they are a tourist, who just wants to say they have been on facebook and genuine forelock tuggers.
And, of course, the people like my wifes cousin who is going to get all of his medals for guarding the car park out of the wardrobe and turn up in full uniform.

We were going to finish watching the bake off last night and instead found ourselves glued to the live stream for a good 30 to 40 minutes just people watching. So yeah, very hypnotic. It's like sitting waiting at a train station / airport / whatever. There's something about just eyeballing other people doing something completely rote that's oddly calming.

I just don't understand it at all. Just throw her in the fucking sea and be done with it.

There's a woman interviewed on the BBC who flew in from Conneticut just to queue and see the coffin. Must've cost a fortune.
Actual grief tourism.
Human beings are mental.

I wouldn't even wait that long for Space Mountain let alone to shuffle passed a corpse. I was in Disneyland LA just 3 weeks ago. Longest wait I had was an hour for Star Tours and I was a bit disappointed after that wait (ride was great, it was just a bit short compared to the wait time). You don't even get the Rimmer Experience at the end of this queue; just a box that may or may not contain a corpse.

Its the jackpot if you actually are a tourist, though. You'd definitely bin off going to greenwich observatory or something to say You Were There when you got back to Bumfuck, Ohio.
