...is over.

H.M. Queen Elizabeth II has finally been laid to rest following several hours of great theatre.

Saw a bit of it on and off on the TV today. There’s obviously a lot of history behind the whole, lengthy, procedure.

That Royal Protocol goes back hundreds of years, they are not going to change it. What is amazing is the outpour of citizens honoring the Queen throughout the episode.

Say what you will about the queen, but she was a head of state, a monarch, a mother to multiple pedophiles, and a devoted cousin to her husband.
