I haven't read it but I don't envy any politician or anyone trying to think of something to say. I'm sure that whatever he said someone would have had some criticism.

I remember the hue and cry when the Queen didn't come "home" following Diana's death but stayed at Balmoral for a little while. I thought that staying there with her grandchildren was probably far more valid than returning to Buckingham Palace for the benefit of the general public.
