Pope John Paul who has been an icon to people of all faiths and also a champion of those of no faith will be buried on 8th April . Should the "Royal wedding " take a back seat ?
 
Regardless of media coverage, would it not be seen as a huge faux pas for the future head of the CoE to go ahead with his already controversial wedding on the same day as the Pope's funeral?
 
:P Fair do's Jon , you got me but I'm not a royalist at the best of times , I don't mind the monarchy as long as they earn their keep but I would rather watch Coronation Street than Charles and Camilla personally seeing as neither as happy in the limelight after all .Don't get me wrong , I think the Queen does marvellous work and I have great respect for her .
Given the recent turn of events I can't see how bbc could justify showing their wedding over the funeral of John Paul . Who has contributed more to our society ? and who will be missed more?
 
If it's on Thursday I can see one being on BBC1, t'other on BBC2 which will probably mean Aintree taking a back seat :(
 
There's scope for all to be televised, even tho the non-event wedding is by far the least important.

I don't need to watch His Holiness's funeral and I probably won't - it might be too emotional for me. (The eye-contact he made with my mother when he visited Scotland lived with her to her dying breath.)

I'll be watching Aintree.
 
On the day of Diana's funeral, you will remember, there was no sport of any kind in the UK. Three of us got on a plane and went to Fairyhouse.
 
Had word of her death reached there Brian?

The Pope blessed my first born. There are indications that it has worked.
 
Brian, I got threatened with the sack on the day of Diana's funeral! I was working in a chip shop at the time and the owner closed it for the day. I asked if I was still going to get paid. He wasn't happy when I said "But I didn't kill her!!"
 
Charlie's date selection leaves a lot to be desired. If you remember Charles & Diana were married on Sussex Stakes day and The Queen kept everyone waiting at the Palace while she watched King's Lake hose up :D
 
I was working in London at the time that Diana died.I missed work on the Monday due to a large amount of alcohol that weekend.When I reappeared on Tuesday a)nobody seemed to have noticed my absence on the Monday and b)the main topic of conversation was Diana died but was that a good enough reason to cancel the Eastenders omnibus.
