Football definitely seemed one that was hugely worried about negative publicity whereas I reckon your average football fan is more patriotic than your average man on the street.

Either way, cancellations are a mistake. Channel stiff upper lip and keep-calm vibes all week with national anthem on repeat.
If you’re pro monarchy, enjoy the gilted edge to all your favourite activities; if you’re not, just swallow it and thank your lucky stars you don’t have everything cancelled and all there is to do is moan on a fixie forum about it.

This was reported on in the Guardian or FT recently – that over-cautious PR consultants are driving a lot of the cancelled event decisions, which is not landing well with customers and zero-hours staff but is arguably safer in the social media age. They cancelled the last night of the Proms, which could have been billed as a huge celebration of the monarchy but even that was deemed too high a risk.
