    Lovely article, thanks. I hope she had a flight on an A380.

    Will there be a bank holiday for the funeral?

    Sounds like it’s on Monday 19th.

    I’ll be taking the day off work either way but it would be a fitting tribute/would allow people to pay their respects

    • ari etisteinberg says:

      I think the whole doting nation will take the day off work – but how about if they made the funeral last 3 days? Then we’d get 3 days off instead of 1. Perhaps the Late Queen should lie in state for 2 days before the State Funeral, so we could pay our respects properly. Just a thought.

      • ari etisteinberg says:

        Think about it – if they timed the State Funeral right and gave us 3 days off as Bank Holidays so that we could mourn properly and come to terms with the shock of this poor 96 year old Highly Respected Monarch dying unexpectedly, then we could get a free 5 day long weekend out of it.

  • Spaghetti Town says:

    Thank you for your tribute.

  • The Savage Squirrel says:

    Beautifully done, HfP.

  • mutley says:

    Message of condolence on the passing of The Queen on the flag carriers website quite rightly, as well as on Easyjet, Loganair, and also American Airlines. Not surprisingly nothing on Ryanair or shamefully Virgin Atlantic.

  • Gary O'Sh says:

    Lovely pictures. Many thanks Rob and the HfP team.
