I'm at work and sadly don't get a bank holiday not being in the UK now.We have decided to go hill walking on Monday to avoid watching the funeral, not because we are anti-Royal or any thing just don’t really fancy sitting watching a funeral all day
I suppose being there maybe it does feel like you're being forced to mourn. Looking from afar, it seems it's more the default assumption that you're mourning etc. Everyone from the media to business is treading on eggshells around that, while also pushing the nationalistic narrative of the country being unified in grief at the death of this major global figure.
The majority though are moaning that Brentford-Arsenal went ahead, but not United v Leeds.
I bet you those hills are full of walkers avoiding it.
