I think the Russians do funerals best. Think it was Kruschev I watched.

I see, but the title of your thread appears to suggest that it somehow illustrates the "IQ of the nation" and that it is utter madness, which is why I responded as I did.

So are they ‘mad’, ‘stupid’, or as you suggest, both?
The news channels are running out of people to vox pop, I assume

It is a tradition . The Chinese did it when Chairman Mao died, the Thais did it when their King died recently.Both beloved of their people as Queen Elizabeth was. A way to say goodbye for some.

It doesn't matter at all. It's just something to discuss.

Why does it matter if that's what some people want to do?

Just watched an angry man on one of the news channels complaining that as he lives in the country he has missed his chance to say goodbye to the Queen! He thinks there should have been a procession round parts of the country away from London and they have deprived him of his rights.
No matter what you think of the monarchy she was a woman you didn't know so why would you queue for hours to walk past ?
