Thank you. I am disappointed with some in the crowd. And the media's open microphones catching dumb prattle among the gallery is so tacky.

You know the difference between Reagan's boots and clinton's boots?
Reagan's had the $hit on the outside.

This is live on Sky News. I haven't seen anything on this scale since Diana's death, and this is indeed larger I believe.

He's been the official riderless horse for awhile now, he is not right off the track. I saw a special about him over a year ago.
They did a run through down the same route with all of them last night though.

No, can't say I've seen that either.
Must be a French custom...
To: faithincowboys
Am I the only one who prefers the onlookers to be silent? I'm sure you aren't. At the same time, technology today is better at providing an accurate and raw sense of what is going on. I think, overall, the crowd is respectful.
