State Funeral

Monarchy really needs to be allowed to end. No one will replace the calibre of the Queen, she's the last of an era. The world has moved on and so should we.

You are right. The Queen is the last of the royal diplomats. The remainder of the royal family are Hooray Henrys and hangers on. Time to go.

62p is bullsh*t as the Buckingham palace refurb alone will cost £362M . How many apartment towers could be made fire safe for that amount?
Tourists will come without a royal family as well, just check France
And yes I pay (way too much) tax in the UK and you Corbyn voters will make it worse.

Do write to those nice people at the Telegraph and tell them they got it wrong. Show them your reasons.

Queen's income rises again as cost of Royal family is 62p per person in the UK 

Oh goody politicisation of a tragedy to win arguments nice! - straight out of the lefty playbook.

I'm a JezzyBull supporter?

Poor taste, if you're alluding to what I think you are.

It is. If you didn't point out I'm confident that this thread would end in a bad direction.

The Queen is very old. Brexit is likely to take several years. So the odds are she might never get to see what's on the other side of this mess... and that her death will completely cock up the final stages of negotiations as the entire world goes crazy for months.

Well Brexit is about moving backwards -

Did I miss something?

Queens speech included more than that.

Banning letting agents fees.
