      My favourite was a child point at the coffin and asking her mum “is she in there?”

      Imagine forcing a child to queue for TWELVE FUCKING HOURS.

        This is the only way they could spin this that might redeem themselves after all this pageantry. The masses of Britain needed to be present and ready to contain the witch should she revive and unleash her evil magics on the realm once again.

      Humbug! You don't even get to see the rotting corpse. 0/10 wouldn't recommend.

          Yeah, they didn't even put her in a glass box so you could actually see her. It's just a closed wooden casket.
