Re: Clash of dates

l think the Pope's funeral has come along as a handy excuse not to hold the wedding on Friday. The real reason being that Ken and Deidre are getting remarried on Friday in Coranation Street. They first got hitched days before Charles's last wedding in 1981, to the then Lady Diana Spencer.

Fact is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Re: Clash of dates

I haven't watched Corrie for years but somehow managed to see an episode not long ago and was surprised to see Ray Langton back. (Now that's showing my age) It's about time Ken and Dierdre got married again, there's bound to be a big tragedy looming on the horizon for them now.

Now after that nice little thread wander which I just couldn't resist, does anybody know for certain if the Queen can or can't attend the Pope's funeral? I mean Charles is the heir to the throne so if he can go why shouldn't the monarch be able to go too? A-b is usually good at unearthing this kind of info.

Re: Clash of dates

I don't think we had a public holiday when the last two Popes died. I mention both because John Paul I was such a short "reign" (not sure about that word) and I can remember the voting both times and watching for smoke from the vatican but don't remember being on holiday. Does anyone else remember?

Re: Clash of dates

Why a public holiday,not everyone is a catholic!!

I think the reason the Queen wont go is because she didn't really like him....IMO.
Charles and the Queen cannot travel together due to protocol anyway.

The Queen isn't going to the wedding but she is going to the blessing afterwards.

Re: Clash of dates

For whatever reason HM the Queen does not do Foreign Funerals, preferring to send a representative in her place.

The death of the Roman Pontiff is not a sufficient reason to declare a public holiday.

Normally the wedding of the heir to the throne would be suffient reason for a public holiday, but both the Queen and Prince Charles are in agreement that such a declaration would invite unwonted comparison with the Prince's first marriage and have decided that the day should not not be marked in this way.
