The palace can mourn for as long as they want, life for others goes on. Don't see why there should be "mourning". Surely people would rather have their lives remembered by "celebration". A minute's applause before every sporting occasion would be enough, or a tribute before every match. Cancel events the day of the funeral if people want to pay respect that way. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 My personal opinion is no sport this weekend and the day of the funeral. There has to be consideration however for policing of sports events when obviously there will need to be a very large police presence in London and other places that will mean less police to cover sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It does very much depend on the sporting events in question and how high profile they are. The bigger the event, the less likely it is to take place. For speedway, this weekend and the day of the funeral seems about right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
