Thank you for your kind words on my first post. Here is a quote from London news, "The Queen’s state funeral will be paid for using millions of pounds contributed to Treasury by income tax payers." I am not sure of exact figures, but it is implied that it cost millions. The organisation moving on rough sleepers so they were not filmed by world's press or get in the way of "the queue" or the funeral were the police. They were pointing the way to hostels and relevant charities; I apologise for not making that clear. Every day of every year, there are people rough sleeping without blankets or food and yet, these things were made available very quickly for those in "the queue". I was clumsily indicating how odd this appears to me. I try to look at different points of view with an open mind and to remind myself, that just because I think differently, doesn't mean I am necessarily right and the alternative is wrong. I was upset to be accused of being a cocaine-snorting, ignorant person because I do not think a monarchy is relevant in the 21st century but I respect people's rights to want to honour a hard-working woman.
