Why not just allow those that want to go to do so, and those that don't want to attend don't have to?Seems very harsh on those who have paid for travel/hotels, etc, don't you think?Apologies if I came across as arsey. It is harsh on them I suppose, but the monarch doesn't die every week. It's hard to explain - it's the cancellation that is the mark of respect, not the fact people go or don't go. If it was on I'd go I suppose, I'm not advocating staying indoors with the curtains drawn. I'm glad it isn't though. Maybe its bollocks, but it feels right to me. No offence taken as I said. I knew it would be an unpopular opinion on here. They probably all agree with me on majesty.com/forum lol

I think the way I feel can best be expressed as, she may have been your monarch, that's grand, but she wasn't mine. FWIW I had nothing particularly against her as a person. But any king, queen, prince, princess, duke, earl, whatever, can fuck off in my book.My respect to the woman, not the office.
I bet he loves Rangers.

And she would absolutely have respected your right to hold that opinion.

Sorry again for losing it a bit, my job over the last 28 hours has included about 20 hours of writing and publishing tributes to her on behalf of other people, so I think the false sincerity has burnt me out.
So people can go to watch rugby union, golf, horse racing, the Great North Run, rugby league or cricket but not football? Why is the national sport the only one where going to a match wouldn't be respectful?
For what it’s worth I think it’s the correct decisionFootball got it right rugby got it wrong

If it's special, that could be grounds for treating it differently somehow.
