Well, he can't miss an opportunity like that, can he? All of those people - possible some had come from other parts of the country - or even other parts of the world - a captive audience, and one where no-one will want to cause a fuss by telling him he's a twit because it would upset a grieving family.
He wasn't going to get another chance like that.
