Quite sad. Good woman. She always reminded me of my great gran, 1897-1993. They were of a different generation for sure.

11 hour queues without food, water or toilet facilities to see a draped box for 20 seconds? Let me think about that one for a second...

Ha, 20 seconds, no way; 5 if you're lucky. Some of those ushers are so rude. They hardly even allow people to stop and bow without telling them to move along. It's quite upsetting to see. Poor people standing in queue for that long and they get 3 seconds to honor their Queen. Shame on those certain ushers.

20 seconds includes the entrance to and from the building - you can see the box from the door

I don't mind a bit of a queue, but 11 hours to see a draped box? Nope. If I was that sad I'd stay at home and watch it live on YouTube. I'll just stay at home and do something else...

"20 seconds includes the entrance"

True, while in the hall yes. But still, imagine waiting all that time and then you get there to pay your respects and someone chirps in your ear while pushing you aside, "Move along please." Yuck!

I saw an hour ago, the queue is 4.2 miles; said it's about 11 hours.

You can see the queue here, where the government has left the insane web traffic for YouTube to deal with, because they knew fully well that their own server would crap its pants.

Vigil of the Princes was nice. So many momentous occasions occurring. Quite humbling.

New 50p and £5 coins

The £5 is a commemorative coin, and they've had them for years, but will be as per usual, a rare special edition coin, not a general circulation one..

One of the regulars in the shop had a Silver Jubilee £5 in his wallet. He kept it for good luck, and also for showing off to shop keepers
