    I would love to, but I can't. Been watching it all on TV.
    My daughter lives in London and I'm like are you going down.  If I lived there I'd go. I've filled the book of condolences on line

    I would love to go but I can’t because of work and family commitments.

    In case anyone's interested, I investigated the "accessible" queue today, as it appears to be the only way of getting flat access.  I guess they've done what they can, but it still won't be a viable solution for many people with disabilities or other medical conditions.  And the wait was horrendous, even there - I was told 4-5 hours before you get a wristband, even.  I arrived around noon, and it was suggested that I might get in around 4-5 am!

    I wish I could have made it to the procession on Wednesday, but my morning commitment overran and I didn't think I'd make it in time.  I'm hoping to make it for the funeral somehow.

    We won't be making the trek, but I know a few people who are and was very disappointed (but sadly not surprised) to read that the accessible queue was closed permanently -without notice- yesterday while the main queue continues.
