queen elizabeth II

It's less of a box more of an Ark. A radio, if you will, for talking to God.

pretty sure I just saw someone voguing at the queen.

Twerking next..

Let’s do the coffin flop again

It's certainly a step to the right...

Imagine having to make polite British small talk with your random queue neighbours for 24 hours or more

i would simply make british big talk

Yesterday, I was talking to a guy who had been in The Queue. American. I think he expected me to be interested.

i think there are a lot of tourists.

i see a future attraction.

Sod the Windsor mausoleum, let's just coat her in wax à la Lenin and be done with it.

have to catch her first

I actually went up to the procession in Edinburgh as people I was with wanted to go (that's my excuse), although we arrived so late we only got a spot slightly down an incline off the Royal Mile. I did see a mounted police officer's head bobbing past above the crowd, Nessie style, and everyone in front of me holding their phones up though. So it wasn't a complete waste of time.
Actually it was. I also saw a handcuffed bloke in a leather jacket chatting amiably with a couple of coppers, don't think he was the one who shamefully accused Prince Andrew of being a sex abuser though. Maybe he just looked suspicious?
History, eh?

I have one FB friend who was in The Queue for 11 hours. She was all like: LOL I know I'm mad but it was worth every second, etc. I think for some people it's a bit like climbing Ben Nevis or something: a little endurance test, just because it's there.

couldn't they just pass the coffin along the queue, crowdsurfing style?

it's like everest: the upper slopes are littered with bodies no one can remove

endless queue waiting to get past hilary step, 67, whose giant hamper blocks the final approach

the procession on Monday will effectively be them passing the coffin along a queue - walked to marble arch then driven to Windsor. goes by about a mile south of here, the park by the road is already full of portaloos.

Said to me before last night’s DJ set: “You should play that Sex Pistols record, God Save The Queen. We learned about it in Year 9 History”. I feel like a Victorian grandfather.

Just over 3 years until it's the 50th anniversary of the recording of that

"Yeah, they wouldn't play it to us in class, because it was banned. It had loads of swearing in it, like (lowers voice to a conspiratorial whisper) "God Save The Motherfucking Queen"."

correct

Aaron is astonished, astonished I tell ye.

he's melted like fuck throughout this

Never forget:

What are the sizes of the Queen Elizabeth II?

Apparently she's small enough to fit in a box.

Seems not observing the minute's silence has been happening at games all over Scotland this week. They're not even risking at the St Mirren v Celtic game tomorrow, they're having a minute's applause instead. Well, see how that goes.

5 live were apologising for "some of the bad language and swearing" during the minute's silence before the Spurs k.o. But I didn't hear anything. Or perhaps like Bastardi - I was in such a state of amazement that I didn't believe it had happened.

Apparently there was indeed some disrespc' going on at the Spurs game.

I thought Londoners were all in The Queue?

still got it

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s reign will be remembered as a steadying, guiding influence during a period of huge change.

Our national character - of openness, pride and spirit - convinces me that Britain’s best days can still lie ahead of us.https://t.co/ywiQM366ut

he's still fucking queen-posting

furiously queen-posting on his laptop as he sinks to the bottom of the sea, bubbles trailing from his mouth

Is that a raven on the PM's head?

And why does everyone look constipated?

we all grieve differently

Fucking pride. I'm reaching calzino heights of hatred for this arsehole.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, this ruined me pic.twitter.com/u9SBGEQiLl
