As I was about to have my morning cup of tea, I changed my choice.
Out of three Twinings varieties in my cupboard, Morning Tea, Irish Breakfast, and English Breakfast.

I felt like having the Morning Tea but had just read the above article that said "Queen Elizabeth II enjoyed a cup of Twinings English Breakfast tea every morning, and gave the brand her stamp of approval"

So I thought no, today I will have the English Breakfast while I read the lovely tributes on this thread.
 
You faint if you stand still for too long.

The blood pools in your legs, not enough going to your head and down you go.

Most fainters come to once they’re down, as the blood goes to the head again.

One of the Archers fainted as the casket was leaving St. Giles Cathedral as well.

it seems the Archers are older men, maybe not in ‘prime shape’, so more vulnerable.
 
If they don’t go back to the sideways on camera angle, I won’t get to see the elusive Orb and Scepter in place.

ive seen them in real life but not used in any pageantry such as this funeral.

we will see them at the Coronation!

Again? One of the archers went down earlier, the one on the left of the front as the camera faces.

Maybe it's a replay of that fainting

I wonder if fatigue and hunger might have made him faint. I understand that they practiced through the night before. Who knows when they slept last. And some of those soldiers look fairly elderly. I hope the man is all right.
 

A new public square near Macquarie Street will be named after Queen Elizabeth II and feature a monument in her honour, as the NSW government pushes ahead with plans to reinvent the precinct.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet announced the royal tribute on Wednesday, and said the commemorative square would be named Queen Elizabeth II Place.
 
Saw this on my FB - so I thought I would share it.


Beautiful!

“Simon Armitage, the UK’s poet laureate, has penned a tribute to Her Majesty in the form of an eighteen-line poem, “Floral Tribute”.
The poem takes the form of a double acrostic, in which the first letter of each line spells out “Elizabeth”. It’s a choice that humanises the Queen, stripping away, as Armitage said on Radio 4, the pomp of her “ceremonial nominals” and bringing her down to earth.”
——————————————-
Evening will come, however determined the late afternoon,
Limes and oaks in their last green flush, pearled in September mist.
I have conjured a lily to light these hours, a token of thanks,
Zones and auras of soft glare framing the brilliant globes.
A promise made and kept for life – that was your gift –
Because of which, here is a gift in return, glovewort to some,
Each shining bonnet guarded by stern lance-like leaves.
The country loaded its whole self into your slender hands,
Hands that can rest, now, relieved of a century’s weight.
Evening has come. Rain on the black lochs and dark Munros.
Lily of the Valley, a namesake almost, a favourite flower
Interlaced with your famous bouquets, the restrained
Zeal and forceful grace of its lanterns, each inflorescence
A silent bell disguising a singular voice. A blurred new day
Breaks uncrowned on remote peaks and public parks, and
Everything turns on these luminous petals and deep roots,
This lily that thrives between spire and tree, whose brightness
Holds and glows beyond the life and border of its bloom.

SIMON ARMITAGE
Poet Laureate

I had a marmalade sandwich and cooked a big cauldron of spit pea and ham soup. There could be an argument on where the soup originated but I made it in memory of our Queen.

Here in Australia I’m quietly grieving the loss of an incredibly strong woman filled with grace and dignity. The old fashioned type, like my mum who passed earlier this year at the age of 93, maybe that’s why her death is harder than it really should be. RIP sweet lady.

The gilded and bejeweled cross at the head of the casket is new since yesterday.

They have double up on lines on both sides, to increase the number of people.

The best time to go would be very late at night or before 6 am, from what I've seen. I think you would get more time in silence before being urged to move on.
 
IMO, in order to let more people inside, they need to keep people moving.

If the lines are that long, tell people that there is no stopping allowed beside the coffin.

They don’t need to be quick but they do need to move along. MOO
