Lying in state queue. (Image: PA)
THERE has been a veritable feeding frenzy over the suggestion that ITV’s ‘This Morning’ presenters, Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield, may have jumped the queue to view the Queen’s lying in state.
Whether they did or were there as part of their duty seems unclear.
But for me a far more questionable aspect of the arrangements for people to pay their last respects to The Queen, is the revelation that each of our 650 MPs were given five passes for themselves plus up to four family members or friends to do so without having to wait in line.
Now that really does make my blood boil.
