If he doesn’t then just keep quiet?

He’s clearly posting to rile people up and what is an important moment for the majority.

Lifetime ban needed

Hopefully gets a lifetime ban from this board.

Why, because he doesn't agree with the concept of having a royal family in this day and age?

People who are not interested can turn the television off or select a channel not showing the news,it is quite simple to do.

It's pretty much coverage across every channel other than the stuff like Dave and that stuff

Give over. He's right that all we have had for over a week is interviews with people in a queue being g asked the same questions day after day.

Today is a spectacle - in terms of parades and pageantry we are pretty good at it.

choked up a couple of times, during Queen Elizabeth's journey to the service and at the end of the service, both times during the bagpipe music, there's something incredibly stirring about such an instrument. I thought of my own grandmother, my thoughts too with The Queen's children and grandchildren. They are burying their mother and grandmother today. Rest in Peace.

Hope those to whom it has meaning, for whatever reason, get what it is they want/need from today.

For me it's just another day, but one day nearer a return to some kind of normality.

A rare look at my fb newsfeed suggests the vast majority of my "" friends"" are as interested in the whole performance as I am.

Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on the 3 outstanding ways you established your street cred in that post.
Indifferent to the last week’s events, not a social media addict and “hanging” with the cool kids.

Feel very sorry for all of you in the UK, having been bombarded by this stuff continually for the last 10 days. Apparently, even the radio played wrist slashing songs. Time for you to consider becoming a Republic like France. Here I can shop today and watch some decent television.

But the good news is tomorrow Rogers is gone (they did not want to announce today) and Dyche will take over.

Absolutely no need to feel sorry for me!

We get bombarbed with your stuff continually, do you feel sorry for all of us in the UK when that happens.

If you haven't anything decent to say on a day like today then don't say anything at all.

We certainly do this well.

Never been a massive royalist but that was an incredible spectacle. We are exceptional at these ceremonial events. Millions in the world are interested and it is a major historical event. Anyone who has had any kind of military training will appreciate the detail and hard work that has gone into this.

This.

I’m as English as afternoon tea, but when the pipes start up the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Having had the honour of serving with the 1st Battalion The Royal Scots (The Royal Reginent) I can Imagine all too well what it would do to a full regiment of Scots going into battle!!!

Oh a good read if you like miltary history about the various battles of the Victorian era are the Flashman novels by G. Macdonald Fraser. And yes the Scots pipers in their kilts terrified many a foe.

Have to agree with other posters that the bagpipes are something special. The sailors pulling the gun carriage to the sound of pipes and drums brought a lump to my throat but the solo bagpipes in the church that faded out to silence really got me. A truly momentous occassion, something I doubt most of us will ever see the likes of again.

Don’t feel sorry for me. I haven’t been bombarded with any “stuff” for the last ten days. I have been busy watching and listening to a nation mourn, and show its respect to someone who undoubtedly earned it. I felt proud doing so. I feel proud today watching it.

I will never consider becoming a republic like France. I wouldn’t want to be.

I have spent an hour or two of my life watching the world say farewell to HM Queen Elizabeth II. I will now go about my business. Not being able to go shopping today is no hardship. If I need to shop, I’ll go tomorrow, or the day after. I will have missed nothing today that couldn’t have been put off for a day or two. I have missed nor will I miss any television today. It’s still there waiting for me. The last ten days that have been dedicated to the memory of Her Majesty have been a pleasure (if that’s an acceptable word to use in these circumstances) to be a part of really when you consider the service we have been given by our late Queen.

Dont feel sorry for me either or the billions arround the world who have taken this all as the respect it deserves
