My thoughts too. Will the British hold a state funeral for him? Will it be resplendent with royal traditions etc that will cost lots of money?
He WAS a king of the Realm so rates some pomp...
But your right, after the expense of the Jubilee, Olympics and the next big deal (I forget what it’s called...), I would think the public (those that pay taxes) would be fed up with the spectacles...
Like we are with Obozo’s extravagance.
