I am neither pro-monarchy, nor anti-monarchy. I think I'm accepting that it is part and parcel of being British and being British is something I am proud of. I'm also accepting that everyone has differing opinions which should all be respected but not necessarily agreed with. I personally find the behaviour of the Celtic fans last night crass and unnecessary but conversely, I find the behaviour of Preston North End and the police who removed the guy holding the 'Not my King' sign totalitarian and completely unacceptable also. I found myself unexpectedly upset my the news that she'd died and have tried since to understand why. The 'she was one of the only constants in our lives' line has been played to death but I suspect that is partly the reason behind it. Whilst the conduct of some of her family and her support of them in the wake of that conduct is highly questionable, I did admire her. I think she did listen to Blair and adapt following the death of Diana and she had the capacity to modernise the monarchy albeit subtly. Perhaps the other factor is I knew what we were dealing with, with her whereas Charles's style is a bit of a step into the unknown. In terms of what other people are doing, I cannot for the life of me understand why people feel the need to queue halfway across London to walk past her coffin. I don't truly understand the need for the country to completely grind to a halt for the state funeral either and the coverage from the media channels is completely excessive. That said it is a seismic moment in our history and she is someone who will be missed. Expand I fucking do, it's the only good thing to come out of this, an unexpected long weekend !!
