Where Will the Queen be Buried?
At a sprightly 80 years of age the Queen is clearly determined she’s not going anywhere. Some Royal correspondents, however, are beginning to query where Her Majesty will be buried, much to the embarrassment of her Private Secretary, Sir Robin Janvrin.
The usual crowd of Royal watchers turned up in numbers at Buckingham Palace for an advance preview of Dress For The Occasion, an exhibition of Royal clothes over the years. Guests included the BBC’s Royal Correspondent, Nicholas Witchell — of whom Prince Charles once said “I can’t stand that man!” –, Royal biographer Gyles Brandreth — a man who loves looking at frocks –, and Hugo Vickers, Royal gadfly and good egg supreme.
When one of them asked about the Queen’s funeral, Sir Robin theatrically tossed back his back head and — according to Richard Kay — declared, “The Queen will live forever!”
At which I’m sure the honoured guests all sang, with quavering voices, “God Save Our Gracious Queen”.
With half her mother’s dna why worry about it now ask about it again in 20 years. I would worry more about the Duke who is 85 but still going strong

Wherever it is, Windsor or Westminster Abbey, it will be a massive funeral with a worldwide audience.

Well, don’t kill her off just yet. Jeez, the Windsors have a long life span don’t they?
