TheAuthority Posted September 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2022 Quote The Queen's coffin will lie in state for the fourth full day in Westminster Hall. A one-minute silence will be held across the UK at 20:00 BST. People can mark the silence privately in their own homes, on the street with neighbours or at community events and vigils.

Genie Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Are these businesses shutting because they think it’s respectful and right, or because they think they’ll be criticised if they don’t? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in Spain enjoying the complete removal from anything related to this National madness.

I certainly won't be joining any mass gathering or standing out in the street with the neighbours. I'll probably go and sit on my own throne and take a dump. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's primarily fear of a backlash if they didn't shut. Then there is a type of competition for more ludicrous gestures like Centre parcs booting everyone out. etc.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely 2 hours would be a better idea? Try standing without a move for 15 minutes, it's a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
