Cancelling Events

[lankeela]

When Diana's funeral was held I seem to remember that some events were cancelled - is this likely to happen with the Queen's funeral? I know some have been cancelled tonight and tomorrow (although wouldn't have though the Queen would want racing cancelled!).

still some doubt about whether there'll be a bank holiday for the funeral

I heard just now that the Last Night of the Proms on Saturday has been cancelled. Usually senior Royals attend and obviously won't, and I suspect that all the usual fervour and party-poppering of Rule Britannia feels inappropriate....

I had always assumed that the Queen's death would bring a complete shutdown for a few days. Went to a retail shopping centre and if you hadn't heard the news you wouldn't necessarily know anything had happenned.

obviously a typo for "reign it in". So what happens to Queen's Birthday? I don't really want to be heading for the beaches on November 14.
