Aren't they all?

My Scottish brother in law lives in Atlanta
So I put on their local Fox News channel while he's staying with us. It was mostly about the Queen
So it goes to show how much she was loved or known world wide

King 'ell.

Happened to catch the transportation of the Queen's coffin from Scotland to London, and thought, when I saw it was going in a Globemaste C17, they were going to drive the hearse straight onto the plane; but no, they took the coffin out of the hearse and carried it up the ramp, which made me think "Bloody hell, that's a bit of an overkill, isn't it?!"
Here's the plane :-
And here's The Beast - the President's limo inside it.
Oh, and there were still six cars following the hearse into the centre of London, sans Corgis?

So, Princess Anne is accompanying her mother, in presumable the maroon Bentley State Limousine and one vehicle with armed police - so why the other four vehicles?

Do you reckon she's actually in the box?
I watched some of the flight on Flightradar24. (only to see if it was coming over our house - it didn't)
It came down the west coast most of the way.

Of course it could be that, like JFK and Elvis before her, she hasn't actually died.
Perhaps all three of them are on the moon, as we speak.

Take the money!!
I was being semi-serious.
imagine if something awful happened- it's a long time to be taking that risk.
Get her into the ground pronto, I reckon.
