They spoke about this on the radio. In Hyde Park they're were firing 1lb rounds, elsewhere they were 8oz rounds. This was for safety reasons. Hyde Park had the space and could keep the crowds win a secure area.Is anything being fired out of these guns?
Definitely.I know she apparently always went to balmoral this time of year but do you think she went there knowing she would die there or that that may be the last time she’s there?
Yes, very possibly, but there are many entrances to the estate so they would be able to access out of view of cameras if they needed to xI know this sounds morbid, apologies but do you think some of the plain vans going in through the gates were undertakers? As I assume they would have had to take the coffin in.
Me too. I didn't expect to cry again today but it's just so emotionalI'm in tears again watching the King leave RAF Northolt
I’d no idea she was such a good public speaker And so able to read a room.Who'd have thought Theresa May would be the person to bring some some levity to a very sombre occasion. Loved her speech. Great story about the cheese.
That’s a good point. Edinburgh is essentially split in two. The old town where the Royal Mile and Castle et. are and the new where Waverley Station, Princes St, Scot Monument, Balmoral Hotel etc are. The old town looks down on the new, and it would probably be a bit of a logistical nightmare getting a gun carriage from one side to the other.According to the Scotsman newspaper, a plane is used if there's no train available, but I wonder if it's to do with the logistics of the planned procession down Royal Mile to the station?

Someone made a suggestion of planting a tree which I thought was very fitting.Because that’s how traditionally people show their respects. I don’t disagree with your reasoning, however can you imagine how it would be if no one took flowers or visited the places they are. This is just a public show of grief.
Television or news paper no doubtIt looks like a very slow police chase on Police, camera, Action
Erm William is NOT the Duke of Sussex!The changes of potential titles will take a while to get my head around!
The heir to the throne ( William) is usually known as the Prince of Wales. So he would be The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Sussex and Cambridge. Blimey!
I posted Macron's speech a few pages ago. It's very touching and amazing coming from a republic.Ah, have you read the French tribute
