Yes, that’s what I’m wondering too. Also if someone tries some act vandalism or something. I always think they would not put the real body there.
Someone tried to run to the coffin. The police catched him within 2 seconds

is the queen really in the coffin? I mean, after so many days...
You can conserve a body for weeks.

You said she was hugely popular in a previous post and I asked you where this hugely popular comes from - she might be respected by some, but to say she is internationally popular seems a little extreme to me.
In April 2022, a poll in Canada indicated that 51% of canadians wanted to cut ties with monarchy. Analysts say there would be way more people who would agree if we had not to reopen our constitution. That's a Pandora's box. Same in Australia.
That Queen might be hugely popular in your heart, as a british citizen, but clearly that's not how the rest of the World saw her.
She was an old lady for like two generations already. Of course people didn't become obsessed with her. But she was respected around the world and a maskot for britain and living history. So maybe respected is the better word.

There's a big difference in "people know her" / "her image wasn't bad" and hugely popular.
If she was that popular, countries from the Commonwealth would not ask to leave that monarchy. Barbados, Canada, Australia, Scotland... name it. They all want to leave.
Not what I would call hugely popular.THAT is common sense.
She still was quite popular around the world (not hugely popular though). I think we need to separate that lady from the monarchy as a whole when it comes to popularity (and will see how that may affect the monarchy in the future)

ok. good for you if you're that intelligent.
I guess that more than half of the planet knows her and her image wasn't bad in recent years. I think it's common sense to assume that.

According to whom ?
Fucking everyone in the world who is able to think knows the Queen as popular figure.

Omg
Everything is so WRONG in this post that I wouldn’t know where to start.
Makes no sense to comment at all. I think that forum is as stuck as Madonna herself. A list of dominant members who celebrate themselves with each post and try to destroy everyone who doesn't follow the prevaing opinion (their opinion).

Please don't fall for these people using the word "woke" to garner a reaction.
Old jug ears we're now meant to call 'king' (even just writing that feels so stupid in the 21st century) was just a few weeks ago caught accepting literal suitcases of hard cash from the Saudis (for reasons still unknown) Corrupt to the core the lot of them. Cities up and down GB and Ireland are letting off fireworks in celbration of Liz croaking it.. but you won't see that on the fucking news funnily enough.
Whathisface up there who clearly has no idea what he's talking about is just being his usual contrary self that he is in the Madonna section. He'll be ranting about Meghan Markle next. Best ignored.
Of course I know what I'm talking about and I think my points are valid. The weird and misanthropic stuff you text on here regularily I don't get though.

Gosh. Whataboutism...She is not really polarizing. She had a high approval. Woke 20 somethings who want her to be the white witch who suppressed all those poor people in the states of the Empire don't count for me. Rubbish. The Commonwealth is not the Empire, she did nothing but serving britain and administer those states. I also don't get the point that the britisch monarchy is wealthy for nothing... Many of their belongings actually belong to the state and living a life of having to be in the public eye 24/7 is not really cool. No personal freedom at all. That woman literally died two days after her last working day...Plus the monarchy has a advantage: It can give the people a sense of stability and community. A real advantage these days.

The thing I’ve always wondered when I was a journalist is WHY covering hours and hours for these events when the majority of people are already fed up the first day. I remember when the Pope John Paul II died and we dedicated like a zillion pages for several days and day 3 or 4 I had to write HALF A PAGE about the street John Paul II in my city. Half page about THE STREET
C'mon...I think for someone who was a well-known and also important figure for almost a century it's appropriate to make the death big news. She is part of the collective memory. Same can be said about John Paul II. Also it's refreshing in times of trillions of internet bubbles and alternative realities to have something that kinda unifies

I respected her so much and loved her sense of humour.
One of the most important people in modern history.
RIP

I know. It's tiresome at this point. It's the choice of a FREE nation.
My friend's parents are trying to flee Kiev, but her mother is too ill with cancer to move... it's fucking heatbreaking on so many levels.

They tried diplomacy for months, look where it led. Putin doesn’t care about diplomacy, he’s a dictator. He has an idea in mind, nothing will make it change.

The situation is so incredibly dramatic. My husband has a friend in Bulgaria who is Ukrainian and her cousin turned 18 three weeks ago. He is enlisted and was given an arm to go defend the country. Just imagine the poor scared kid. It’s really heartbreaking.
Oh gosh. That's sad

You can have empathy and do other things at the same time.
Yes, but you can't have emphathy with the people in Ukraine and relativate Putins decisions at the same time.

Totally agree. Unfortunately, it seems we never learn.
We can simulate realities, build nuclear weapons, travel to space...but we never learned how to build a world order that can't easily be destroyed by just one person with a delusional mind. Actually we never learned how to build a peaceful and free world.
