  1. Apparently it’s less than King George which makes me wonder how they managed to fit so many people in back then? The Queen had two lines of people walking past 24/7 for three/four days. How did they get more in back then?

  2. I wonder what the actual figure turns out to be. I thought it would’ve been much more than that, in the millions

    250,000 is about the same as someone like Ed Sheeran playing 3 nights in a row at Wembley stadium

  3. Jeez judging by the non stop flow and the ridiculous over the top coverage by the media I thought it was well over 1 million. Whereas in actual fact it’s just the same as 3 Man Utd games!

  4. The numbers aren’t important. What is important are the TV pictures showing people queuing for miles, proof that the British people love the monarchy and loved the non-stop TV and newspaper coverage for the past week.

    We all love the monarchy, there is no dissent, even if 67 million of us didn’t join the queue.
