1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:00,840
Speaker 1: Question.

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: The news you're waking up to this morning is that

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: the Queen has passed away an amazing seventy year rain.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 3: Feels like it's the world's sort of nan doesn't it.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 3: The Queen that's always he always struck me. Christian.

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: Victorian government should keep the Monday public holiday. We're talking

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: about so much of our lives change now, just as

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: so much that changes the currency. You think about her figurehead,

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: the raudentsing is on so much, police vehicles, military vehicles.

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: So much has to change over the next couple of weeks,

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: the currency in the UK and around the world as well.

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: But this is a lovely idea Victorian government should keep

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: the Monday public holiday for the Queen's birthday. It just

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: changed the name to Neil Dannaher's Day. That actually would

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: be an amazing thing to do. Yes, yeah, that's a

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: lovely thing to do.

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: Christian.

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,240

Speaker 5: That's the Windsor Horse show.

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: The Coronation coach I have actually the nineteen seventy one

27
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: I sat in that coach.

Speaker 7: I was traveling through Europe in ninety six with a

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 7: mane of mind. We were in London heading towards Westminster

63
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 7: Abbie and we walked into this enclosure who had a

64
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 7: fenced enclosure. It was just an opening gate and we've

65
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 7: got to halfway through and were were so many military

66
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 7: people around here. Then one of the guys came over

67
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 7: to us and said, what are you doing here? You

68
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 7: need to get out and you know why? And then

69
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 7: I noticed about ten minutes away there was the Queen

70
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 7: Mum and Princess Anne.

71
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,760

Speaker 7: and they must have been in the church and no

75
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 7: one stopped us. We just walked straight through.

76
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that people can move around. It's

77
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,200

172
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,400
