The swans have been flying around joyfully I think they know what has happened.
Beautiful to watch a swan coming in to land on the water. They know their shit those birds.
Word will have got around me thinks.

Obviously the concept of a hereditary monarchy is a bit weird in a democracy. However in practice it is no worse than your average nutter elected into power by democracy! And I think the show and pageant put on today will have a massive effect on the tourist dollar (other currencies are accepted) making it great value for money. The UK is once again “cool”.

I was struck by the ammount of 'Scottishness' in the procedings.
Putting aside for a sec. the great job the Scots did given her madge died there I do think (given her role in planning the arrangements) she was very cleverly giving a middle finger to wanna be queen nicola...

" The UK is once again “cool”. "
About to be much cooler this coming winter with the cost of electricity, gas, coal, petrol, diesel shooting up and up.
Perhaps Prince William 'n' the smiling, gorgeous Kate will chip in to prevent some grannies freezing to death?

They did like her and I guess she liked spending time in Scotland. It would be very brave of the wicked witch to go for independence in the wake of the funeral.

Came across this tonight .... someone for whom I have always had a hell of a lot of respect,
(anyone told to do something by someone pointing a gun at them (who has already just shot a couple of people) and say "Not bloody likely" has earned it)

I believe many people have a lot of respect for Princess Anne - truly her mother's daughter - with a bit of the Duke to add fire.
She was amazing in accompanying the Queen's body from Balmoral to the very bitter end.
