"The football has been cancelled..". Is that really your priority? My TV watching has been mostly unaffected as I rarely watch BBC1 and have noticed few cancellations on other channels after the initial weekend.

I'm amazed at the queue. I've seen people arriving in London who are obviously heading to join in and who may now be queuing with no certainty of reaching Westminster Hall before the coffin is removed. It's a belief akin to religion.
