I happened to tune in yesterday morning and was mesmerized. The precision. The beauty. The perfection of it all.

And the Brits had a large airplane hangar to practice it all for decades.
He ended by saying The Brits absolutely know how to stage a Spectacle as this. They sure do. Hats off to them and the solemn mourners the last 10 days.
That said, now we may be in for another “show”. The Harry situation. And apparently King Charles will be trimming the Royal staffs.

Yes we do put on a 'Jolly good Show'!
However you can take the quote about the aircraft hanger and decades of practice with the biggest pinch of salt you can find.
Certain things are planned before as far as church and the Queens personal request go, but the military and public side of the parade is rehearsed after the Monarch dies.
Over the centuries we have had a lot of practice!
