Perhaps understandably given they are saturated with it and are in/covering places where the real royalists gather, the media seems to be assuming the whole country is sitting around in quiet reflection and thinking of little else. I have been out and about this morning/lunchtime chatting to people in my unremarkable town and everything is entirely normal. The overwhelming consensus seems to be to just get on with normal life until the funeral. I am seeing no evidence of overwhelming grief or solemnity

Not really what I see every day in the real world.
