And so ends the Second Elizabethan age – politicalbetting.com
It is very hard not to be impressed by the sheer spectacle of today’s events with powerful images being beamed across the world. They certainly send a message out but I’m not so sure what that is and how it will be regarded.

Yet few can't see it?
Although, they missed a trick. Should have had a single floral wreath of white roses on the coffin in the hearse saying:
"MA'AM"
Wonder what London Bridge is for him. Mornington Crescent?
So your premise is utter bollocks.
Edit: FWIW, I don't think Dynamo is a russian troll, just contrarian.
And dissent is heavily cracked down on.
This is an intolerable state of affairs
Suddenly a tiny bit tearful
Try doing the same in other countries with heads of state and government with no democratic legitimacy where dissent is heavily cracked down upon.
Twat
Yet silence from you, because he agrees with your politics.
You are pathetically partisan. I don't pretend.
You clearly were a Boy Scout or something in a past life, you do love to pretend to have authority where none exists. You're the definition of a Karen.
This bit on the roads is actually the most moving of all. The ordinary people of Britain turning out for their queen. Unscripted. Unpredictable. Yet here they are
And as for Truss, she is the elected leader of the party who have enough seats at Westminster to pass legislation.
As Gordon Brown had when he took over between elections.
We do not have a presidential system in the U.K.
It's a reality I'm still struggling with.
So moved today.

Now we can put it to bed.
However it was also the last ceremony in Britain which will likely ever be a truly global event and final act of imperial Britain reflecting the Queen being the last monarch of the British Empire.
Charles and William's and indeed George's coronations and funerals will be big events but they will not be on this scale
And, thank you - for everything.
Done.
Your tax cut will help poor people with 37p more a month.
*gets coat
We also have a King who is a constitutional monarch and let us not remember the republican Corbyn was trounced at the 2019 general election too. Now both Truss and Starmer as well as Davey have proclaimed their support for Charles as King
Phenomenal
Boris and Carrie Johnston barging past Theresa and Phillip May, only to be stopped by officials and made to obey the correct order of process. And now he's in full sulk

Charles' funeral will likely be not much grander than that for the King of Sweden or the King of Spain
The pictures in HD were excellent. The service was excellent. Liz Truss did a great job. Welby could have droned on a little less but that aside, excellent.
There's something about the bagpipes: wistful, evocative, sad and yet inspiring.
Sweet Thames, run softly
I mean, if William the Bastard counts it seems churlish to criticise Henry VII's royal links.
Britain is now only a midrank power, we were top 3 in 1953 when the Queen had her coronation. The Queen also reigned for 70 years and therefore also had a huge legacy, Charles will reign for 10 to 20 years at most
The Beauforts do make exceptionally good cheese too. (Though that may be unrelated, I guess.)
QM was Tay Bridge, Philip was Forth Bridge.
Ominous sign for the global economy.
The reading of scripture in front of a world-wide audience would have tested most
“Hope is the alchemy that turns a life around”
Superb line. Just thrown out there
