    13.6 million watched the old boys funeral live; 11 million of those on the BBC.

    4 million Brexiteers have some explaining to do
    in five years isn't there a chance that 4 million have died? I know the maths is inexact but I am assuming a big crossover with Covid deniers and anti-vaxxers

    Pretty sure I heard my neighbours watching it. I don't think they're quite the demographic you assume.

    If I'd been at home I'd have had it on. having spent some time in choirs as a yoof I'd have been interested in the music, but I wasn't going to cut short my weekend activities for it... Seemed like I was far from the only one too.

    Quite possibly. I assumed it was a joke - that there was a strong correlation between Brexiters and Royalists, rather than to be taken seriously. I don't know how my neighbours voted.

    I was finishing my lunch with cousins in Alcester (exactly where the red circle is), and someone seemed to start their own version of a funeral pyre... we left somewhat earlier than we intended...

    It was a joke based on the number of people who watched the funeral being roughly 4 million fewer than the number of people who voted Brexit, the stereotype of the patriotic Brexiteer and the cultural of performative patriotism which demands a certain level of compliance, and the conceit that those 4 million would have to account for their decision not to watch.

    That's what I thought.

    I think we've wrung any remaining shred of humour out of it now, and I apologise for my part in that.

    Edward on the news this morning. I'm not sure why the Royal Family don't make more use of him, he came across really well I thought. Handled the inevitable Meghan and Harry question very well and seemed more in touch and human. I guess the fact he seems fairly normal, if a bit posh, and he has stayed away from the limelight are linked.

    I can remember when Edward was the odd one in the family.
    Funny how perceptions change....
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    The wife is watching some complete crap about William and Harry on ITV at the moment. A bunch of talking heads who appear to have made money writing books about their alleged feud are basically talking up that feud. It's almost as if they have a personal interest in making it as big a deal as possible

    Yes he uses it to go dogging - well known in Norfolk...apparently.

    Nice to see the BBC falling over themselves in fairly useless coverage of maxwell.

    Worlds apart from newsnight.
