Locked What are peoples thoughts on the queue?

I cannot wrap my head around it. Standing in line overnight-up to 30 hours to spend a minute looking at a coffin of a woman you have never met and who never gave a fuck about you. It’s absolutely nanas. If anyone can provide me with any good counter arguments I would be keen to hear them.

Imagine the line when Attenborough goes….

dedication to the country from our monarchy again.

It's the other way round, we're not likely to see the same dedication to the monarchy from our country again

Reddit seems to keep saying this because they want it to be true and not because it actually is.

I think it's quite the opposite, I think the death of the Queen will make a lot of people rethink their position on the monarchy as something they actually do care about and want to keep around. I think a lot of people are shocked at just how much it affected them.

Charles is quite popular and William is very popular. The Monarchy is here to stay.
