      The monarch is allowed to go on planned excursions I’m sure some security was with her, but mainly she was spending time with her family. She should have been having a nice peaceful day. With so many people rushing to get that can only mean something happened and they are bringing her LOADS more protection or dignitaries to speak to her IMMEDIATELY. That can never be good. Otherwise they could just wait until she returns

    I remember when this happened, and reading that Mountbatten, who still loathed the Japanese for their methods and treatment of British prisoners in Burma and Asia in WW2, had insisted that no Japanese officals be in attendance at his funeral. In another story, I think he was the British Raj top dog at the time of Indian independence in 1947, and its civil war leading to the creation of Pakistan. Some time after, he and Lady Mountbatten went to Pakistan to visit its first independent ruler, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who was known to be a massive stiff. Jinnah had prepared a cute little line to say with them in front of the cameras, expecting that LM would stand between himself and Lord Mountbatten for an official photo. Instead, they positioned Jinnah between themselves, but being a stiff, he said the line anyway, which was, "Ha ha, a rose between two thorns." And there was general discomfort all around. 😂

His brother lived in England and was getting married and wanted him to be best man. Unfortunately he couldn’t afford the tickets to England but on the day of the explosion he headed to catch his flight as he be out her paid.
    I’ve also stood where the IRA was most likely watching the boat from the sore. Was a eerie feeling.

    I was a member of the Royal Guard when the Queen Mother was made Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports earlier in the year, we were told that if a major incident happened we would be top of the list to form whatever the ceremonial needs for that incident would be because of the training we had just completed. Subsequently we were the guard for Navy Days in Plymouth over the August Bank Holiday weekend. The news of Mountbattens murder came through on the last day of Navy Days and within an hour of marching off we were on coaches heading to HMS Excellent in Portsmouth where we began training to pull the funereal gun carriage for Mountbattens funeral.

      We found out the news of his death on Monday 27th August and that evening we were taken by coach to HMS Excellent in Portsmouth which was the Ceremonial Training Establishment for the Navy. The following day we were split into the three teams that were required which were Gun Carriage Crew (140 men) plus the Naval escort (150 men) and the bearer parties, plus associated Officers and Senior rates which meant, all in all there were over 350 personnel. The men were brought in from all over the country but as we from Plymouth had formed the Royal Guard for the Queen Mother we were the nucleus of the gun carriage crew. Also in the GCC were senior rates who wore junior rates uniform just for the honour of participating.
      After day one of sorting and sizing all the ratings we were taken every day of training to Eastney barracks in Portsmouth for the actual training - usually 9 hours a day - as Eastney had an archway the same size as Horseguards Arch which was important as the crew had to reduce ranks to pass through the arch so this was vital training for the day.
      We trained in Portsmouth with a practice gun carriage for just four days before moving en masse to London, staying at Pirbright barracks, for three rehearsals on 2nd, 3rd and 4th September marching the route with the gun carriage at 5 am on the first 2 days and 3 am on the 3rd day.
      Day of the funeral we were taken into London in five coaches at 6am with a full Police escort which, at some points, meant us being driven at top speed down the wrong side of dual carriageways, going through red traffic lights and even round roundabouts the wrong way. Finally being dropped off at the Royal Mews where the ceremonial gun carriage was prepared for the day. The wonderful personnel at the Royal Mews supplied us with copious quantities of tea and biscuits and opened up the mews for us to look round all the state carriages used by the Royal Family.
      The memory of the day of the funeral is still etched in my mind, the most significant memory is that, except for the sound of the band preceding us, everything was silent. No noise from the thousands of public who lined the streets to watch the funeral.
      After the coffin was taken into Westminster Abbey, we marched off round the corner where our coaches were waiting and were immediately whisked off back to Portsmouth.

India is home to 3rd largest muslim population at 176 million meanwhile UK is crying about muslims when they only have 3 million muslim population. Your argument would have made sense if all muslim population would have relocated to Pakistan, but most of them stayed, Why? Because partition was dumb. Today every muslim benefits from the policies of the government of India, rather they benefit more because of high % of them being in poverty level. Similarly, muslims in pakistan would have enjoyed this privilege rather than suffering financial and security crisis that is happening in present day pakistan and India would have had one less conflict to worry about, acting as a stronger counterweight to China. Despite the online propaganda stirred by the political parties, let me tell you that muslims live in peace, they practise their faith with full freedom and a very small minority of people from both religion hate each other which probable given such huge population, rest live in harmony. Unlike UK where such little population have made the Englishmen wary, given the current trend muslims will partition England eventually. I wonder what mountbatten would have thought about that.

There may well be Muslims in India, an awful lot decided to move to Pakistan on partition, presumably because they felt safer in a Muslim majority country. It is human nature, and I am not criticising India or Hindus. I am from Ireland and we had our own partition to solve a similar problem. Sometimes it is better to live apart if you cannot agree to live together. My point still stands, Lord MB was not responsible for the partition, the Muslims insisted on a separate state. To try and force them into a single Indian state would have caused much bloodshed. As it turned out this happened anyway, but it was something he was trying to avoid.

      @@wingnut71 Bro you should read about how much bloodshed happened and still happening due to partition. Partition gave the green light to religious fanatics to attack the other sect. And how is living separately benefitted either country? Pakistan has been suffering economic and security issues for so many years, India is also suffering a security issues. If an average muslim is more prosperous and safe in India then it defeats the purpose of partition, doesn't it? Just because someone insist for a separate state does not automatically mean you just give it to them. If that was the case why did IRA fight? Also why don't you give a separate state in Ireland for the muslims asking for sharia in Ireland, rather Ireland is showing increased islamophobia. Even in India Sikhs have been asking for separate state, yet current government is not giving in, because they know it will be a disaster which apparently DumbLord MB did not understand, only if he had given as much thought to it as he did for lil boys. Britain has a track record of creating conflicts by doing these, whether it be IND and pak, Israel or Ireland. Tell me one good example where a separate state actually worked.

    The fly fishing is all wrong. The actor has never fished in his life.

      Not really the actor’s fault. Production’s job is to do the research and make it authentic.

    If it was the IRA who were responsible, - I'm pretty sure the UK security services let them do it. His homosexual paedofilia was geting out of control. He was a liability.
