I've just avoided the funeral entirely by watching snooker on iPlayer live instead (BBC2), and avoided the minute's silence at 3pm by hearing them say it, skipping back two minutes, and then skipping forward again to live action when I heard the announcement again! No, I don't care; it's hard for the queen, of course, but I don't see why everyone else should be forced into public mourning for someone who's mostly had very little impact on their lives.
