If you really want to know who does pomp and circumstances best, look no further than the British!
Between Queen Elizabeth's dead and her funeral today, it has been non-stop pageantry plus.
All the processions and ceremonies have been exhaustion for non-British folks like me.
But they know how to do it, you've got to give them that.
All in good--no 'great'--taste, for days on end.
Waiting 14 hours for 10's of thousands to merely walk by her coffin.
The slow and winding road from her death place to London.
The incredible pageantry of the trip to the church and then to the chapel where she will join Prince Philip is side by side tombs.
Of course she did reign for 70 years.
Something big and splendid had to be done.
And they really did it!
I was sore impressed--and I don't even like or agree with monarchies.
