Interesting that Jimmy has a picture of a nonce on his mantelpiece. Update the spreadsheet.

Isn't it on a piano? There was a post about it. Which I may be proving I can't remember.
This procession is so surreal, but I think I love it.
I'm too much of a LAD to get in, but my wife's aunt is friends with Camilla. I'll ask her if she can get me an inviteOriginally Posted by Offshore Toon
Is that the first time you've casually dropped that in and, if so, how?
Get her signed up.
Chaz stumbling upon Penaldo's posts calling us weird for having a monarch:
Yeah, it looked swish.
I'm no real big fan of an ongoing monarchy, but this is probably the stuff you get by having one [anyone can have access to Royal Palaces and whatnot] which makes it if not worthwhile, then at least interesting.
Pretty lol that Harry, the only one who has probably seen proper active service, is under the bus with the nonce not being allowed to wear his military uniform.
I know the planning for this has been in place for decades and it's probably just a rehash of what happened 70 years ago, but the execution of it all is something to behold.
I don't think I've ever used a fountain pen. Why is he having to?
Probably some tradition. Ball points aren't regal enough. I can't think of a fancier pen.
Sharpie.
Crayons.
They could have both worn uniform at the lower rank that they actually qualified for during their active service careers, so I don't know why they didn't just do that (unless there is some reason why they couldn't). The Nonce in particular had a pretty impressive career and saw action in the Falklands War.
Nobody around the coffin moves. Good show.
Looked like he tried to stay in his pose whilst going down [at the cost of his face].
Also, the youtube livesteam of where the queue starts is must watch stuff.

3 miles.
Can top out at about 10 miles apparently. Will it make it?
If it doesn't the British public will be labeled ABSALOOTLY DISCUSTIN for not turning up in larger numbers by those that did.
What a weird place this island is. Holy lord.
It turns out - duh - that you can't wear it once you leave the service.
I fucking love The Queue. The best thing to come of this.
Any estimate on how long these people are actually having to wait?
That's more like it.
The Mrs has just announced that she is going up with her mum and dad at 5am tomorrow.
"Do you want to see if you can get any last minute holiday?"
Err, no love, we're too short staffed and I have a meeting. Have fun though.
Unpatriotic swine. You'll be cancelled now.The Mrs has just announced that she is going up with her mum and dad at 5am tomorrow.

Another victim of police brutality :/ justice for the 98
I'm basically in Lewis' camp. If the Hearse drove past my house I'd go outside and "pay my respect" but there are people I actually know that I wouldn't go to London and stand in a 5 mile queue for. Lunacy.
Don't mind Lewis, I can bet he's about third from the front on his tenth lap of the queue at this stage. He'll be still waving those two tiny flags in his sleep tonight.
I'm a twit
God Save The Queue?
I think you're the weird one if you wouldn't. It's a historically significant moment (not a Hearse driving down my road) even if I'm not particularly arsed about the Royals.
Supporting this circus in any capacity is pretty mental tbh.
You're such a lib dem.
I'm now wavering on not going. My friend is in London, and he floated going at a silly time when the queue is liable to be shorter. If it isn't then forget it. I could do four hours, not ten.
Seems to have stalled at 4.2 miles.
9 hour wait though, good grief. I guess maybe it will drop as time goes on but you just know there are going to be loads of loons going round and round like that mad bint in Scotland.
Love a bit of stolen valour. The YouTube videos are amazing.

I didn't even know that was a thing. Mind blown.
I wouldn't queue 9 hours to look at my own Mum's coffin.
I could understand if she's actually on show but you're queuing 9 hours to see a box and some guards. I bet she's not even in there.
Are you suggesting she faked her death?
Saturday and Sunday are going to be mental.
Or, everyone thinking that will mean it's actually the best time to go.
Or something in the middle.
Fuck, I am a Lib Dem.
I actually said this to my Mum yesterday when we were discussing this very situation.
Her response (quite rightfully) was "I wouldn't want you to".
A friend of mine messaged me today to ask if I wanted to meet up after work to go look at The Queue.
I probably should have said yes just to see if we can get a queue going to look at the queue.
Train booked. Roll on the ten hour queue.
If you're serious, fair play Lewis.
Any odds on a bridge collapse?
For anyone who has met Lewis, is he just a troll or an actual wrong ‘un IRL
Man of the People.
There's no reason both can't be true.
We need a poll to filter out the weirdos. I'll get one up tomorrow if nobody bothers before.
Give us a shout when you're at the front so we can whack the live stream on. Maybe bring a TTH sign.
