An Awful Scenario

[derek-33]

a scenario where the queen dies now.heaven forbid.(no viscous remarks from republicans thanks)
with no crowds meeting of any kind what would be the funeral like my guess awful as it seems
her majesty would be put on ice for a state funeral when this virus is over..
lots of bodies are on ice so to speak when inquests are waiting so

As you say Derek, an awful thought and one may other families are living through right now.

Every Senior Royal has their funeral practiced in advance. Routes and timings are practiced all year and every year. If memory serves I believe HRH The Queen Mother's funeral plans were named Operation Tay Bridge or something similar.None of the plans took a National crisis, like we are presently suffering, into the planning.

I've heard of and thought of a few awful scenarios while in lockdown ...

1) Being a single mother of three small kids living in a high rise flat
2) Being told you have less than six months to live - not sure how much less
3) Living with your violently abusive partner / children
4) Being severely claustrophobic
5) Having an operation cancelled because of CV-19 which means that, if you catch CV-19, you're less likely to survive it
6) Having a loved one die in intensive care without you being there, and only a few "allowed" to their funeral
