The last 10 days have been undeniably highly unusual and our attention has seemingly been taken up with all the ramifications of the death of the Queen, the RF, the pageantry of the funeral etc.
But some strange discussions or disagreements also surfaced - hanging washing out or not on the day of a funeral, drawing the curtains, mourning customs, the inevitable anti-monarchy rants etc etc etc.
I’m not saying we should not have opinions or sometimes reminisce about times gone by, but won’t it be good to look forwards instead of all the nostalgia some of which has struck me as more than a bit outdated? (I frankly don’t feel old enough for some of the attitudes I have encountered in some posts! )
Let’s not dwell on the past - how about now ?

Did anyone else notice how nice and tidy London looked with so much of the street furniture removed around the funeral routes? A photographer's dream, and a bit like how I remember London as a child.

Yerse and clean/modern/"well looked after" unlike the majority of the rest of the country! I suppose when you are given the lion's share of public funding for the mouse's share of square mileage it's inevitable that your gonna be cosetted to within an inch of your smug life?

I imagine that the homeless folk were ‘removed’ too
