They probably haven’t, even the Queen waited for her turn. And even if they have all had the vaccine, it doesn’t mean that they still couldn’t pass it on to her 

They're all of an age where they will have had it - except maybe the grandkids.

What's the point in the vaccine if a) it doesn't protect people who have had it and b) they still have to observe the same restrictions?

When will there ever be an end?

I’m not sure I can agree that “being gifted untold wealth and opportunity” is the yardstick for covering yourself in glory. How does that work? You have money and opportunity and therefore mistakes are unacceptable? You don’t have untold wealth and opportunity so mistakes are acceptable? I don’t believe it’s that simple 🤪🥂

“They're all of an age where they will have had it - except maybe the grandkids”

Of the 30 people that attended, 12 were either grandchild or grandchild’s partner, therefore 40% potentially not vaccinated 🤪🥂

So 12 were of an age where they are in very little danger from covid. They don’t need a vaccine. And the other 18 are protected.

She was not sitting alone, Prince Edward was sitting two seats further down, its called social distancing, and anyway this is the way she wanted it to be.

Rules at funerals are for everyone. The queen throughout this horrible pandemic has shown the correct way to act unlike the mindless people that put us at constant risk. I lost my mother in September last year, not to COVID but the funeral was strictly to 20 people. At the end of the day COVID-19 restrictions are for all to abide by.

Maybe she just didn't want anyone from her family near her. I mean, if that was your family, would you? None of them have exactly covered themselves in glory, despite being gifted untold wealth and opportunity.

BOBTASTIC you win the award for unnecessary and rotten remarks. What satisfaction do you get from this? Is there any family in the world that can say they are perfect? It saddens me to read such a cold hearted comment. Who are we to judge?  None of us are perfect.

Sorry about your mother Jimmy.

Absolutely everyone needs to be treated the same. That doesn't mean these restrictions are right or humane. There are just over 2000 people in hospital with covid now, I think we "saved the NHS" months ago.
