Gulliver at 5.53pm - confirms all he does is troll.

I hope the censors in AB towers have spotted Gulliver’s confession and choose to act on it in future - they’ve certainly failed to act on it in the past.

[Bobbisox1]

DD , that’s not going to happen ( although I’m in full agreement with what you say )

[Deskdiary]

I see Gulliver has ruined another thread then. Quelle surprise.

[Bobbisox1]

And mine went too...for?

[Barmaid]

I thought the Duke of York and the Earl and Countess of Wessex spoke well about the Duke. I was really touched.

I'm no fan of Andrew's but I thought his "grandfather of the nation " comment was especially touching.

[Bobbisox1]

Absolutely was , he spoke from the heart

[gulliver1]

Wonder if Fergie will be there.

[Mamyalynne]

I think it unlikely but it's for the family to decide, we aren't organising it are we?

[Jackdaw33]

I would not be at all surprised if after a suitably decent interval it was announced that Andrew and Fergie are to remarry. It has long been rumoured that they might do so but not in the Duke's lifetime.

[Peter Pedant]

why oh why cannot people show respect to the Duke and the dukes children?

the cruel pillorying of Harry springs to mind

but I thought his "grandfather of the nation " comment was especially touching.

no it reminded me too much of Winnie - Mandela that is! and Mother of the Nation - as far as I know the late Duke never threw a flaming tyre around anyone's head
