When Di's body (#forevainRhearts #englandsrose) was going up to be buried, we popped down to watch it go past as it was 5 mins away from where we were living in the midlands and it was a chance to cycle on the M1 in the middle of the day. Good picnic and a few beers IIRC.

Wow - that's cool. I found the whole thing fascinating - particularly about how much of the stuff they'll be doing just isn't really in living memory any more.
I'm no royalist and won't be involved in any of the processions or whatever; I'm sure there'll be loads of people that will go on about how it shouldn't be treated any different to any other old woman dying. But the event itself is obviously immense and there must be such a cascade of planned 'stuff' to be done, exactly like you're describing.
