Yeah only 30 attendees overall - and the Queen will be sitting alone which I think is a disgrace but there we are.
Let's bomb Russia!

Why such a small event? Surely this should be a big state event with hundreds of foreign dignitaries. Is the monarchy failing in its duty here or is this small funeral just the first one before a more public ceremonial one?

QuoteAs democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Rules are rules - tens if not hundreds of thousands of people have had to have funerals under these rules in the last year. It would look awful and probably cause more damage than the Oprah interview if the royal family decided that didn't apply to them, especially if there were hundreds of dignitaries flying in and probably not having to quarantine like the rest of us.

might just push the British toward republicanism. 

On second thought, I think they should do the grand funeral!
:P

The Queen will adhere to the restrictions to set an example to her people  :bowler:

One of the problems republicans have in the UK is that the Queen and the working Lords invariably behave far better and with greater probity than the elected MPs.

Yeah, so far, the scandals have always been with another member of the family.

Well that was a dignified and appropriately modest funeral ceremony given the times we live in.  :bowler:
