On one level, it is nice (?) to FINALLY have CLARITY which is one of the central demands of LGBTQI+ people in the #churchofengland. Tell us where we are Safe. Tell us where we are not. Step out. Be brave. They have been. (congrats, finally)

The Queen’s coffin was carried from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey on a gun carriage towed by ropes and 98 sailors.
It is a tradition dating back more than 100 years, we take a look at why it's pulled with ropes and not horses. 🐴

Every sovereign’s funeral since 1901 has seen the monarch’s remains pulled through the streets by members of their Royal Navy and the funeral for #QueenElizabethII today was no different.

The reason the Queen’s coffin is not being pulled by horses is because of a near-mishap that occurred during Queen Victoria’s procession in 1901.
The horses which were due to pull Queen Victoria’s coffin spooked and reared, threatening to topple the coffin from the carriage.

You may be aware that @LG_NHS has declared an incident at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in #woolwich. I’d like to assure all residents of Greenwich that our teams at @Royal_Greenwich have been working side by side with our NHS colleagues & continue to do so tonight.
I’ve been speaking to colleagues at @LG_NHS today. The hospital is extremely busy but all patients continue to receive the care that they need, including oxygen therapy. The situation continues to be monitored. Today in @Royal_Greenwich our cases have rise to 761/100,000.
Given the continuing rise in Greenwich we are asking all residents of @Royal_Greenwich to help us by thinking 111 first. Whilst of course @LG_NHS is still open for you, there are lots of places across #greenwich to receive healthcare, advice & support.
