#queue for the queen

Opinion: Britain is finally being recognised for the one thing it’s good at

Our collective grief over the Queen has manifested in an achingly beautiful national pastime – of which we can all be rightfully proud

Someone’s nan has brought along some fig rolls; someone’s dad is handing out jam tarts like they’re communion wafers. And the sandwiches. The sandwiches. People are tearing them in two, these perfectly-cut triangles of ham – these Dairylea slices, bland as paper – they’re sharing them around like sweets. Everyone (and I do mean everyone) has Tupperware. Nobody, and even the thought itself seems like sacrilege, is pushing in. They queue... because they can’t not. Have you ever seen anything more beautiful in your life?

My god we are totally insane. Brits born for this moment of queuing.

The first time Dany truly wanted to head to Westeros to take the Iron Throne was after the wineseller incident, when she and more importantly, her child was threatened. She didn’t want to get the Iron Throne to restore her family’s glory, but because she wanted to protect the family/home she has. For her --> take the Iron Throne = no more threats, no more assassination attempts, no more living in fear. She never really saw Iron Throne as the end game, but a means to finally have her peace of mind, to live a simple life.

Queue update - It’s now 5 miles long and takes 9 hours until you see the queen. Yesterday at this time it was under 3 miles.
