An ex Dxb Saints member travelled up yesterday joined the end of the queue, and passed the coffin 8 hours later.
Said the whole experience was wonderful
But the fail tell us it’s a 53 hour queue!
Interesting that today other sources are reporting the staff are losing their jobs.
Because they have contracts to work for Charles - Prince of Wales, and that employer no longer exists rather than redundancy per se.
I expect he and others have been a tad busy and will sort that out in due course once they work out who will live where.
The 53 hour comes from when people started to queue - 53 hours before the doors opened
I read a bit more about this
Clarence House has ceased operations with immediate effect the moment the baton passed to Charles. In effect it has gone into administration hence the legal requirement to start a consultation process.
This is a component of the succession plan that has been in place for years.
I am surprised that the staff of Clarence House were not cognisant of this - you have got this job until such time as Charles becomes King
Maybe they were never told or maybe they were but have forgotten over the passage of time
It happened with the Queen Mother - of her 50 staff, 15 were offered new roles but only 1 accepted

Mrs G gets the hump if she has to wait 5 minutes to see a stiff. No way would she hang around for 8 hours.

Not sure its purpose to be honest… I mean live for 4 days?
Well, if you need any chemical assistance you only have to ask.

I have developed a sudden interest in visiting the Queen - apparently the queue has stretched back to Bermondsey.

It’s the queue us Brits have been training for all our lives

What someone needs to do is divert the route so everyone doubles back in a big circle. It’d keep them happy for years….

Judging by this, the occasion may not be the most riveting of experiences.

I’m going to be using the Bank Holiday productively.
I work with Americans a lot, so I will be able to have a full day’s work in order and be able to get on better with certain tasks.
So yes, that is a leftie and a republican jipping off a free day off to stick to his principles

I will be working on board a cruise ship all day, starting at 06:30. 
I will be disembarking the vessel finding a bar and sinking a bevvy for Lizzie then getting on a plane heading east with no chance of any coverage of the event.

I’ll be cracking on with Mrs C_S’ list of miraculously appearing jobs that an unexpected bank holiday has revealed…
The bonus is all garden & DIY stores and municipal dumps will all be closed.

When you turn 100 you won’t be getting a card from The Queen.
However, 15 year olds will get one from Prince Andrew.

Just tell her to fuck off, and if she says “how dare you!” or whatevers, just say I said it was okay.
Let us know when you’re recovering at the A&E. We’ll come visit.

She’ll just say “why would I ever want to listen to anything from those football weirdos that you’re always going on about?”
