[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay good people of DCUM.. what's with the uniforms????? More and more this looks like the funeral is being downgraded and downgraded and downgraded... 
While the covid took care of the size of the ceremony, there are those other things like.. the very informal car that will carry him which is very informal, and now the uniforms down the tubes.. It almost looks like someone does not like his funeral to be fancy.
[b]Yes, yes.. I know .. I hear you saying.... this was his wish.. but we also know that the guy was pretty self center and it is hard to believe that it truly was his choice but of course once a person is gone, you can never prove anyone wrong..[/b]

If Phillip had died at a more 'convenient' time he would have gotten all the flash bang-bang of the Queen Mother's 200,000 person funeral. But 125,000 people have died in 12 months in the UK (its only 2nd to the US in Covid death rates) and because of Covid restrictions they were only allowed to have 4 mourners. Most of them didn't even get to see their relative in person before they died.

Hence -- the problems with Phillip's funeral.[/quote]

It could be played the other way too...

BECAUSE so many people died, BECAUSE so many people could not attend their family funerals,  this death and funeral of the Prince
who was their co-liege for the last century somehow expressed and fused into their own suffering could help them
to express their grief and presence at those funerals that they could not attend. It could have been very easily turned into
a national grief channeling and it would not be a bad thing.

Similarly like with Princess Di.. HOW many people did actually knew her personally to miss or grief after har that much?
It was not so much about her as much about unifying with the whole world and expressing their own grief of their own loses
and this was some kind of universal catharsis to a degree..

Just as with Phillip funeral, this could have been very well.. an opportunity to grief and mourn for everyone and experience a form of therapy through this.

But that is just me thinking.[/quote]
