I notice that the advert in the Express doesn't mention that the bear is made in Germany, in the hated EU.That’s like something out of the joke adverts in Private Eye or Viz. Ridiculous

It does if you look closely enough.I notice that the advert in the Express doesn't mention that the bear is made in Germany, in the hated EU.
Yes I can see that the tag on the bears left ear does say that, although it is quite indistinct unlike the rest of the advert which is crystal clear. I wonder if if the Express has deliberately blurred it. I haven't seen the original in the paper.It does if you look closely enough.
The funeral was excellent.
They really ought to have just faded to black with the family going up the hill on foot and be done with it.I thought the funeral was pretty much perfect given the circumstances. I was in the gym at the time and was subjected to the chat afterwards with Huw Edwards and a couple of people I didn’t recognise. That bit was awful, as you’d probably expect
TBH I'm more upset about the passing of Helen McCrory! Peaky Blinders just isn't going to be the same...
Such a loss.
Yes that's the picture fronting many of today's papers here, and I even saw some not normally interested in the Royals sympathetic to the Queen for that experience.That was a very good service.
It was a bit sad seeing the queen all sitting on her own like that.
Which is only just over one-fifth of the population, if my mental arithmetic is correct, and less than half the number who watched the funeral of Princess Diana (Wikipedia figues). Are there any conclusions to be drawn about the extent of royal support in the country?Watched by 13.6m people in the UK.
I think the only conclusion you can draw is that a glamorous young woman who died in her prime is more popular with the public than a very, very old man.Which is only just over one-fifth of the population, if my mental arithmetic is correct, and less than half the number who watched the funeral of Princess Diana (Wikipedia figues).

Diana’s funeral was tasteless, ghastly and very harmful to William and Harry.Which is only just over one-fifth of the population, if my mental arithmetic is correct, and less than half the number who watched the funeral of Princess Diana (Wikipedia figues).

I didn't watch it (too busy on a forum walk!), but everyone I've spoken to about it seemed to think it was brilliantly done.Philip’s was the best funeral I have ever seen. Done and dusted in 75 minutes with exquisite taste.
Absolutely. Not really my style but I would give it a 10/10 for the performance. In a way it was much better with only a few select musicians and singers, rather than a whole choir.The music was superb. The talent, musicality and guts of the quartet was second to none. Singing like that gives nowhere to hide, but it was stylish, beautifully performed and blemish free throughout. As was the Last Post played by a quartet of bugles. Not a single note was split, and it was great to hear it in a big acoustic where the harmonies are heard resonating rather than outdoors.
How do they count viewer numbers? With many houses having multiple occupants, there will be many cases of multiple people watching one television, so does 14 million mean 14 million people, or 14 million households? If the latter, the true number of individual people watching it will easily be well above 14 million. The UK population covers babies/young children/those without access to a TV, so really you want to compare number of people watching to number of people who have the ability to voluntarily watch it.Nearly 14 million viewers is pretty decent these days isn't it?
