Are there any funny royal funeral traditions or ceremonies like does someone have to yell at the casket at some point

Kinda. When the queen dies and it's after a plat jubilee that literally lowered your GDP, you get to spend roughly $5b in executing the transition and changing what your money looks like right before a winter that was already going to tear your country apart. For a monarch that probably won't last more than five years so you can do it all over again.

We do love our traditions.

The purpose is to associate the false economic emancipation that comes with having money with the monarch, thus making the monarch represent liberty in the mind of their subjects. The US approach is similar, but due to its unique monarchical traditions it invests more power into the office of president than the specific personage of the current president, thus its currency uses the dead monarchs that best embody the ideals of the state.

Bigger turnout in Belfast but still fewer people than would normally be hanging out there on a regular public holiday.

With Charles and Truss in charge we're heading into a new era of bad takes caught on hot mics.

ALPHASTRIKE!!!

News coverage of your late monarch has been batshit crazy in the US. Non-stop newscasters and talk show hosts almost in tears talking about the dead queen, the queue to see her casket, sharing some weird old guy who could barely walk in a head to toe union jack suit about to collapse from grief after witnessing it. Mind boggling and demented.

I googled and found an article in Express which I won't link because it's utter garbage (both the article and the paper) but it boils down to a) the coffin has a lead box inside, b) they have/had cooling devices under it and c) they embalmed her right away for which there is a special guy that does that.

Lead? I think she was killed by someone injecting her with like plutonium.

That or, she was kept in a morgue and the coffin was filled with lead weights.
