What happens when the Queen kicks the bucket?
She pails in significance

I expect there’ll be a national day of mourning, and a bank holiday on the funeral.
Just guessing mind. No idea really.

See I would be very understanding of that.
I’d also be more inclined to watch some of it, only read an article or two about Prince Phillip.

No, because hopefully by the time she shuffles off this mortal coil, we won't be in a pandemic
This is it. You're not forced to watch it or read about it. You can do other things

I think we'd need to try really hard to find any other news to read/listen/watch.
Also, I don't think Charlie's coronation will be anything like as popular as hers was.

Probably be less viewers for Chas even though only about 500 people had a telly back in 1953.

Same, was just using that term to answer / set context the OP what it would be like. Wouldn’t expect anything less to be honest.

I don’t know like, bearing in mind we’ve never had one since ‘53 and the way we do pomp and ceremony really well. I think it might be. Time of course will tell...

I think Roger should shut this place down until a week after the funeral.
I think HM will get a very over the top response from the Establishment and stuff will be stopped and shut and certain people will howl like banshees about it.
But this will be the last time it will be old school National Mourning. IMHO.

This is a good article by the way

'London Bridge is down': the secret plan for the days after the Queen’s death
The long read: She is venerated around the world. She has outlasted 12 US presidents. She stands for stability and order. But her kingdom is in turmoil, and her subjects are in denial that her reign will ever end. That’s why the palace has a plan.

I was just about to post that. Yes, it's an interesting read.
Edit: Especially the bit about George V being bumped off.
