Funeral Plans

[10ClarionSt]

Do you think her maj took out one of those funeral plans from Bun Life?

Charles, I've just got my Bun Life through the post.

Oh congratulations, mammy!

Yes. No medical required. Simples!

Or maybe they had a good talk about cremation, as in that ad where they're all having a great time walking in the woods, coming home to a cosy house, everyone smiling and jolly. Cremation is the answer! Phone the HOTLINE now! :o)

these have been plans put in place for years. Going on the logistical nightmare of getting 2,000 people seated for her funeral.

[emmie]

bun life wouldn't feature in these plans.

[10ClarionSt]

Yeah but a funeral plan from Bun Life would ease the national burden a little bit wouldn't it? Just......a bit?

[emmie]

no it wouldn't. People are queuing for hours to pay their respects to Her Majesty. I can understand that, i would go if i could.

I was there when she was moved to Westminster Hall. We didn't go for that, though. We'd had something planned for a few weeks that just co-incided. We walked along the south bank, past The London Eye, over the Golden Jubilee Bridge and through Trafalgar Square and had snacks on the steps of Eros in Piccadilly Circus. We encountered the queue for the coffin. It was all single file. If it was 2 or 3 deep, it would only be half as long, maybe even shorter.

[emmie]

at least by luck not design you were there.... i envy you....

Clarion, I saw the queues on television and you seem to have been seeing something that everyone else was not seeing. How mean spirited you are.

Would the OP have made this remark about any other 96 year old suffering from bone cancer? A shameful post imo.

[Zacs-Master]

emmie, pssst, I think 10Cs might be taking the mick.

[Barsel]

choux, you think the Queen had bone cancer?

[maggiebee]

First time I have heard bone cancer mentioned. Have I missed something?

[Barsel]

Maggie, it's the first I've heard too.

Thanks for all the replies folks.

Naomi, I didn't see the queues on TV, I walked alongside them. I was there. Does telling you how it was, make me mean spirited? The biggest gathering I saw was in Trafalgar Square, where no-one could see anything at all because the views of The Mall and Whitehall were blocked by 15 ft tall panels.
