It worked in Scotland, worked on the drive from RAF Northolt to Buck House, Buck House to Westminster Hall, will from Westminster Hall to the abbey, then on to Windsor.
People don't have any given right to see the coffin or pay their respects in the way they want so they can take whatever they are given. No need for repeat passes, just enough of a route which maximises opportunity to see it, will do.
I don't see it as any different to attending the Tour de France or other road race where you get a three second glimpse of the peloton as it blurs by. I get there's the 'being there' but one sees so much more watching on TV.
Is it really worth all those 'wasted hours' for a few seconds, worth those few seconds to miss everything else they are missing ?
To me it feels like a public reenactment of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, people all round the country compelled to craft catafalques out of mash before being drawn to Westminster Hall like moths to the flame.
No one can actually articulate why they are compelled to be there, so perhaps it's more They Live!
It feels like a duty or obligation being imposed upon us with some complying by wilfully choosing to believe it's a real duty, behaving like sheeple, while convincing themselves they aren't.
Maybe it's a side-effect of whatever they hid in covid vaccines :-)
At least The Met, Facebook and others, will have a whole raft of facial recognition images to be working with in the coming months.
