My mum watched a bit of the cannon salute but after 15 minutes or so switched it off cause they wouldn't stop yapping through it. It was a blast though.
I honestly don't know much about our royal family either apart that they have 3 daughters.
It's interesting that the media are loving this, but honestly most people couldn't give a shit about the royal family. He has his good and bad points but I really have nothing to say about the man. I'm sure his family will miss him greatly and I can appreciate that.
