Yeah it is kinda getting to that stage I said earlier nothing against the monarchy, I think there is benefits in terms of tourism and though I don’t understand it myself there is a significant percentage of the population who support them like a football team (Though I’m sure there are people out there who don’t understand supporting a football team ha) but when you get things like this and the whole Center Parcs debacle you have to wonder how far it’s going to go There are a lot of Americans here who are obsessed with the British royal family and I don't get it. Like we fought a revolution to get away from them.

Like we fought a revolution to get away from them. I find it fascinating (though I'm someone who focuses on the Plantagenets and Tudors, so it's not exactly the same thing), but I wouldn't want to live under it. I'm also not someone who's that interested in the Windsors, though, so it's probably a different appeal for me.

Like we fought a revolution to get away from them. Not all of you did. The percentage of the population who were loyalists was significant. The 'revolution' in a sense was more akin to a civil war.

Yeah there were a substantial number of loyalists who were eventually forced up into Canada. It's partly why the war of 1812 wasn't just Canada welcoming the U.S. with open arms as some of the leaders thought it would be at the time.

Good to see David Beckham join the queue for 12 hrs and not use his fame to bypass the crowds. He was genuinely moved and bought his group of queuers donuts and treats.

Ok I have to know, and I mean no disrespect or anything, but I'm curious. With how long this line is, and how long people have to wait. What is the bathroom situation like? I mean when you gotta go, you gotta go.

I mean when you gotta go, you gotta go. There’s about 500 portable toilets on the route. You are allowed to re-enter the line from where you were before a visit to the bog.

Can't believe I'm choosing itv coverage, they just won't shut up on BBC, they even cut away from the interesting military stuff for pointless interviews with nobodies.

All that planning and some idiot drops their paper. Who picked it up? The most compelling part of the whole thing and I didn't see it.

Just went to the kitchen to make tea, an England flag has appeared in my garden.
Probably blown over from some neighbours but a bit spooky.

Every channel is airing it.
Except E4, which is airing Young Sheldon.

Meanwhile, Channel 5 have decided to show kids movies all morning and afternoon, The Emoji Movie is just about to end, followed by Stewart Little
If I recall, Channel 4 did something similar when Diana's funeral happened, showing a marathon of cartoons like Back to the Future and Wind in the Willows.
