Yeah… forcing people to eat bad food out of a misguided interpretation of mourning doesn’t seem okay. If you choose to mourn that way sure but enforcing that on others… just no.

Shouldn't this be more about celebrating her long reign and her welcome into the everlasting arms of God?

When my dad died at the age of 97 it was more of a celebration of a life well lived than a period of mourning.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Thank you, and let that inspire others to carry the sword.

That is so dumb

I’m against any holiday as well
Why force business to close and parents to scramble for childcare

But I mean they're really something 😒

In the army we had hurry up and wait

Happy 2023, by the way! 🎆🎇🎊🎉🥳🍾

Did you and your regiment make it through the mourning period okay? That was a terrible diet they basically forced you to consume. Not a good fuel source, you are correct.

I'm a yank and haven't grown up with the tradition but it seems as though the royals are kind of an expensive tradition that has lost its meaning.

I would hate to be on display like that.

Hope the rations have improved.

Does unseasoned chicken put one in a fowl mood?
