Now her son Prince Charles will be King of England.

Apparently there is no one in succession to be Queen.

I can't believe this is she too.

 

 

She was great and one in a million. Sad day. R.I.P.

I bet that line will go for miles

I learned something today. Why is the Queen's coffin lined with lead.

BBC Livestream of Queen Elizabeth II lying in state in Westminster Hall

Amazing how the guardsman stand motionless like statues

Those soldiers with the big black hats, you can't see their eyes. 

I wonder if any of them are napping standing up.

The Brits sure are civil during this sad times. Standing in a line that stretches for at least 4.9+ miles and as much as 10 miles with a wait time that goes for 11.5-30 hours and for many of them, it includes standing out in the open overnight.

This will not work in the USA. People fight and sometimes shoot each other over a line for coffee, McDonald's or free things. Most of the time in the USA there isn't even a line for those things, just a big mob of people.

We Americans can learn some manners and civility from our British friends.

Live Queue Tracker

 

The Lying In State procession is still going on and it's schedule to end at 6 am which is in less than 5 hours.

There are people still in the long Queue, which stopped adding new people to it hours ago.

Some of the folks who have been in line for 12-15 hours will never get to the lying in state and will be told to go home when that clock hits 6 am.

I will be real mad to be told to go home after I stood out there in the weather for 12-15 hours.

Funeral in the morning and some folks were camping out with tents starting Friday.

It will be on TV. I rather watch it on TV than camp out out there for 3-4 days.

$100 million. The poor British taxpayers. I see the US government is not the only one that likes to foolishly throw the taxpayers money away
