Really interesting to hear it from the English perspective.

I don’t get the obsession with the royal family, the world’s richest welfare recipients.

Watching the funeral this morning....so many details about this event.

The Royal Navy actually pulling the coffin has a very interesting story behind why that it is done..... And the coffin wreath has pieces of her wedding bouquet in it.

Amenjoying witnessing this Historical event.

She was exceptionally unexceptional. None of the hidden vices so many in power suffer from. A blessedly normal human being. Now prepare for the deluge from whiney King Charlie...

I don’t get the obsession with the Royals, and many British are either hostile or ambivalent about them. That said, the travel from people like the author will help the British economy. And with the US strong dollar, it’s a good time to visit and spend some money.

>>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Adulation of the Queen is fundamentally un-American. She represented the European system of royalty where certain members of society enjoy inherited legal privileges, political power, and social position.

This system is what the signers of the Declaration of Independence were rejecting by the assertion that “all men are created equal”.

I saw them driving her coffin to Windsor. I was surprised that they would drive through the streets like that giving any terrorist or Obama supporter the opportunity to attack it. I saw the public throwing flowers at the hearse which easily could have been a bomb. Well it’s good to see England doesn’t bow down to these terrorists and shows more respect towards the public

My grandmother went back to England for the coronation in 1952 against her doctor’s advise. She saw the coronation and died there. She’s buried in Doncaster.

If anything ever brings down the British monarchy, it will be the worthless douchenozzle Charles.

I’m watching it live, they are at Windsor now. Every American should watch this because this is exactly how the left will treat Pelosi and Hillary when they kick the bucket

Eh, the propaganda about the monarchy is almost as strong over here — after the better part of a century of having endless Brit propanda TV series on our own state-run TV, etc.
