Keep your eyes on the Conservatives trying to slide dodgy policy through the house under cover of the weeping, moaning, and the gnashing of teeth from Daily Mail/Express/etc. readers. BBC are as biased as buggery anyway, but this will give them the excuse not to write anything vaguely disturbing about the government for weeks, although I'm sure we'll have Johnson outside number 10 telling us it's a pity Prince Charles has died, which will be passed off as a sign of his grief, as opposed to his ignorance. They'll then dub in the correct name, play it on a loop, and pretend it never happened.

So his finest moment wasn't when he sold his Linn system?

Whilst I am not a royalist, I liked the old boy, his devotion to Liz and the monarchy was in stark contrast to the " me, me, me" nature of Harry & Meghans recent media nonsense.

I was annoyed at the BBC showing the same programme at the same time on BBC 1 and BBC 2 last night and therefore not showing the Masters Golf highlights at the scheduled time.

Prince Phillip was an OK enough guy, but my understanding is that his behaviour at his car crash 2 years ago was reprehensible in that he initially tried to pin the blame on the other vehicle when the crash was entirely down to him.

And cancelled all the programmes on BBC4 at the same time.

Be careful, that will be the 'go to' list for the English Nationalist Democratic Conservative Party when it's time for the post Brexit purge and dishing out the union jack armbands to the Daily Heil faithful.

Joking aside he was the one royal I had any time for simply because he was so prone to saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the right time. Without him I really don't know what the royal family are for now. Perhaps we could outsource them to the Khardashians or some such?

Oh and wait for the furious discussions over whether the errant US royals should attend the funeral, which will run and run. This basically gives the sleazebag government carte blanche to do what the heck they like for the duration of this media storm.
