I've been watching some of the stream from GB for the Queen's funeral. If I had more time I'd start a thread, but I'm wondering.

Forget all the CT about the royal family. I've been seeing the enormous numbers of people from all over the world lining up to pay their respects. I remember Diana's funeral with similar crowds, if not quite as large, as well as the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.

My thought has been, how many of us, if any, would have so many people line up for our funerals? I've played for funerals that had to set up cc tv because of the amount of people attending, but I've also been to a few when only a handful were able to attend pre-covid.

I was a bit surprised at how sad I felt when I heard the news. I don't think we will ever see another like her in our lifetime.
