I think/hope a more balanced view of people's opinions on it all might be provided in the media, once we're beyond the immediate insanity and fawning and hysteria.

I have also seen several estate agents replace all/ majority of pics with those of the queen. Must be slim fucking pickings for their portfolios.

They should sell spots in the queue. Take out a loan to get prime queue spottage. Spots are going fast! Or moderately quickly. Or slowly. Buy one!

I'm finding it all a bit odd watching folks file by whilst the young royals are stood around the coffin in silence with their heads bowed. Kinda feel sorry for them having to do it. Must be an awful childhood they are having

But that's what we always buy every week. You buy clotted cream every week? Are you the Darling Buds of May? Or a Cornish cafe?

I'm hoping that the fervent-but-not-outright-obsessed types will work themselves up to an emotional crymax on Monday, thereby getting the worst of it out of their systems.
There will still be those who'll keep things at half-mast for a good while longer, though. Kind of like the people who left their Jubilee decorations up until August, but instead of bunting and miniature Union Jacks, it'll be solemn pictures of the Queen on black backgrounds.

Yeah. My partner, who spends an inordinate amount of time on social media, was telling me about this yesterday.
Funnily enough she also mentioned how Beckham is waiting in the same queue for 12 hours.
As a social study, it's fascinating to listen to and see how these things are perceived, and how people react to them.

Every minute this continues is one more minute of Boris Johnson internalising his incoherent rage at so narrowly missing out on being at the centre of it all, and perhaps driving himself into a serious medical event. So it's not all bad.

Would be interesting to know the average IQ from the whole queue. The I Queue IQ.

There's nothing this country hates more than queue jumping. So much so that if you drive correctly and safely and follow the highway code when there’s an upcoming lane closure then you will ostracised by the entire population.

If it's higher than that, the more intelligent queuers (those approaching a 3 figure IQ) should be hacked to death with marmalade spoons until it isn't. As is the tradition.

See also, people who don't understand what "merge in turn" means. Which is most people.

According to This Morning (This Mourning?), they were present "in a professional capacity" to report on the lying in state - spoiler alert: she's still dead - and didn't enter the building to file past the coffin.

I guess that would be an indemnity thing, if there are no staff there.

I just googled 'Holly Willoughby is a TRAITOR', and it came back with lots of pictures of Holly Willoughby, so it's definitely true.

See also, people who don't understand what "merge in turn" means. Which is most people. I think it's the language used. I think the word "turn" is confusing for a start, given it could be confused with a turn in the road. The phrase "merge in turn" also somehow doesn't make a lot of sense as an instruction. Is it stating there's a merge during the next turn in the road, or is it an instruction? "Please merge in turn" would be better. ... Or just copy the US and change it to "Merge like a zip" with a graphic of a zip. Clarity is king when it comes to road signs.
