Taxpayers money is spent on 'em in one way or another, so I would assume it is of interest to the people of Hyndburn.

It would be interesting to see how much this Beagle earned in his capacity as charity fund raiser. I bet his annual income was substancially more than the average income of someone in Hyndburn.
...and the relevance to the good people of Hyndburn of two other threads you started in General Chat, the one about homosexuals in the Royal Navy, and the sixties television programme Robin Hood?

Since a lot of people here probably bought the products that were advertised inbetween the programmes that paid Beadle's wages, that could equate with your tenuous link about why we might be at all interested in the royal family.

You really are turning into a grumpy old man.

If people here want to share their thoughts, over the death of a public figure, so be it.

You don't need to read it, nevermind post in it.

Go and read a book. It might improve your quizing skills, and in doing so make you a happier old man.
