Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Have you got one of those TVs from the 70s when they only showed Beeb 1, 2 and ITV?
Seems the queue was massive the last time too.
But at least they had people to give them tea while they queued. As opposed to now, where you get a number and nip to Greggs.

The fashion was rubbish back then wasn't it.
Brown, blue or grey… or you got stoned.
Though to be fair, I don’t think the person who has coloured these photos has done a great job. Looks like a kid did it
Unfortunately
Hill walking it is then.Unfortunately
Probably get there and it’ll be closed… as a mark of respect.
I think it's pushed me into the dislike camp. It's not the funeral and all the pomp and ceremony, it's just that it's reminding me of the unfairness of it all. Normally we don't see them much on the news, this has just made it all very obvious.
You’re made of solid gold Penna x
Would be ironic

xWhen was the last time the UK was normal?
I'm surprised we are still using a very traditional queuing system rather than booking slots online, or using a ticket system.
Surely the country could stretch to at least using some Post Office machines.
"Mourning lane number four please!"

Thats treasonous
How much are the jewels the crown stole worth?
Priceless.
Theyve said hard to value because they have actual value (carats and stuff) but uniqueness value too.
Reckon The Imperial Crown alone is worth a few billion (it has a few massive/famous/old jewels in it)
He’s short on options … he’s not had a lobotomy
The Kohinoor diamond has a range of values but lower estimates tend to be around the £200m mark with upper estimates around £600m.
Very disrespectful (too soon!). There is a time and a place for that.

I'd say that will definitely happen.
I think most people are still indifferent. A lot of this is just bandwagoning and the media being dramatic and whipping up a frenzy as per usual. There’s a lot of piss boiling going on which is quite funny though.
Side note, the crown used in the coronation is worth $2-4bn which is mental.
Could nearly get a nice swap deal for united
Getting my hair cut tomorrow.
Wawawiwa.
Not so much all this nonsense, do think going from the reasonably placid kind looking old lady to her son will see a sharp royal family popularity drop though.
@Revaulx what do you make of the music for the service? The Queen clearly liked Croft to have 2 of his pieces in the service but I can't lie and say I'm not a tad disappointed they aren't going to do Purcell's funeral sentences. Hopefully Weir's new piece is as good as the incredible Psalm 104 commissioned for Philip's funeral.
It was South Africa who 'gave' it to the royals and some of their MPs do want it back.

This just made me imagine the scenes on here if the House of Windsor purchased United
Charles having to sign the contracts isn't gonna be a pretty sight..
He’ll delegate that to a subject
