i wonder why Harry and William are walking apart, they are still kin and i would have expected them to walk together.

[Ken4155]

William and Harry are grandsons of the DofE, as is Peter Phillips who will walk between them. They didn't walk side by side at their own mother's funeral.

[emmie]

i know they didn't, but it just looks odd, as though they have to be kept apart.

[ummmm]

I'm interested. I found him so funny. I loved the way him and the queen looked at each other.

[Cryptical]

Have some respect ***.

[emmie]

yes they did, there is a lovely photo of Prince Philip and the Queen, he was dressed in military uniform, and both looked highly amused when a swarm of bees were found and buzzed around the place

I’ve seen some disgusting stuff on FB , I’m pleased I don’t have so much hatred in me , it eats them away, sad really

i don't do facebook, twitter or any of them

[ummmm]

That's a brilliant picture, Emmie.

[tiggerblue10]

I will be watching.

Could be for security reasons why they won't be walking side by side. They didn't for their mother's funeral.

I don't give a tiny rats ass about dingoes kidneys although I would watching a documentary about dingoes. And kidneys...

[emmie]

It is a brilliant picture Ummmm, there were bees buzzing everywhere, the swarm were under a chair in the grounds.

[emmie]

if you scroll down it shows you the bees, must have caused quite a stir on the day

[burlyshirley]

Lovely picture. I remember a similar one of William in uniform and the Queen grinning away at him, and he her.

[tiggerblue10]

What was under that chair attracting the bees?

[emmie]

no idea tiggs but someone should have noticed it beforehand.

[woofgang]

nothing there Tiggs, it was a swarm. A queen leaves the hive to found a new one and the other bees follow her. Where she lands the other bees cluster around her. https://www.bbka.org.uk/honeybee-swarms

people have said they care/don't care about the individuals and the Royal Family and that's fine but its a part of history that we are witnessing.

So true woof and as much as some would rather not have it, history can not be erased
