"Who is going to watch This Morning tomorrow? This Morning spin Drs are trying to save these two. I think anyone could do their job and its time for them to leave and get new presenters. Its awful what they did while old,young,disabled people waited 10hrs+ and elderly servicemen waited in line. Don’t be mad at them be mad at the people who give out the jump the queue passes. Why don’t disabled and elderly get them aswell? If a pass was offered then it’s perfectly acceptable to take it in my eyes. I’m sure there were others who took a pass but haven’t been witch hunted for it. " | |||

I think its been building up with that heat or eat wheel spin. How he got away from that incident is beyond me. The victim was going to expose him but everyone thought it was alright that he came out. I find it awful. Seen him a few times bully guests on This Morning with his questions. | |||

The queue was poorlyit's missed and only 3 disabled portaloos although they were all out of order. They also closed the accessible queue 15 hours before the main queue. | |||

We are also a nation who pride ourselves on queuing. Many see this as a cardinal sin." We did queue. Twice. Total time of 12hrs between getting in Queue 1 and exiting the Westminster Hall. The nearest Tube station to the accessible queue was not wheelchair accessible, and other such well thought out details. The main queue was not "accessible" partly due to the need to step up and down kerbs and other obstacles. The "accessible" queue was fairly flat but some cobbled and other challenging terrain | |||

My only gripe is they didn't both needs to go and to be honest I don't think there should have been press passes because you cannot report on anything that happens while you are in the hall. I guess the only thing they can do is report on what it was like in there for them. | |||

I just find it nuts that two small children today are being micro-examined by the media and will continue to be so examined for the rest of their lives, even if they try to leave the royal shizz behind. They didn't choose that. We've had people on here using really unpleasant and disparaging comments about the 4yo Prince Louis too. I can't think of many 4yo boys who might be game for public ridicule either. | |||

However, I'm probably the least celebrity obsessed person in the world and don't follow any of that stuff online or elsewhere. I also (personally) couldn't particularly give a fig that he managed to get into Westminster Hall (legitimately or not). I doubt two "celebs" caused any difference to the opportunities for the general public. It's irritating, yes. But hardly the crime of the century. | |||

So in that case all will become clear in the morning and I would be correct, what was filmed was them looking at the coffin/hall/queue.

" There was absolutely no filming whatsoever with absolutely no exceptions. There will be no footage except that of the live feed of them in the hall. A journalist who had filed past said in a radio interview 2 days ago all people with press passes were told they weren't even allowed to report on anything that happened while they were in the hall other than their own feelings on the matter. That is one of the reasons there is very little information about the incident that happened on the Friday night Only that from members of the public that spoke to journalists outside. | |||

"In what universe could you describe those 2 as press or media? They are TV show presenters." Well... I don't personally know either so each to their own. But I did cringe watching Philips 'coming out interview'. Bearing in mind his 'wife' is expected to sit there happy and smiley, like a daft bat with their kids. I don't care what sex he's into. It just gets to me he's such a smug twat regardless of which way he goes | |||

People would get a wristband and a timed entry. It was a very long queue, without any toilets provided! We relied on local businesses to allow people to use the loo - one hotel, with one wheelchair accessible toilet, for hundreds of people using wheelchairs, for example. " Don't know ow what queue you were in but we queued for 2.5hrs, please ty of toilets available, including those in the tate Britain and had ple ty of seats around etc for those who had mobility issues.

The only toilets provided for the queue were 3x portaloos, which were all out of order. It was impossible to get into the Tate Britain from the accessible queue until you got close to the building itself, which wasn't until several hours after starting to queue. The queue was all along the riverfront on Millbank and then around several side streets, before going around to the Tate. We used the toilet in the Westminster Hotel (1x wheelchair accessible loo). Others who did not have wheelchairs also used a pub some distance away. Once you had a wristband, you could use the Tate rest area, which had loos etc yes, but it took 6hrs to queue to get one! | |||

My only gripe is they didn't both needs to go and to be honest I don't think there should have been press passes because you cannot report on anything that happens while you are in the hall. I guess the only thing they can do is report on what it was like in there for them. " Which for people who aren't in there... And are interested... Might be reporting. | |||

No problems at all." We were in the accessible queue and I'm sorry but there were not plenty of toilets. There was one inside Tate Britain for wheelchair access and 3 portaloos. | |||

"Who is going to watch This Morning tomorrow? This Morning spin Drs are trying to save these two. I think anyone could do their job and its time for them to leave and get new presenters. Its awful what they did while old,young,disabled people waited 10hrs+ and elderly servicemen waited in line. Don’t be mad at them be mad at the people who give out the jump the queue passes. Why don’t disabled and elderly get them aswell? If a pass was offered then it’s perfectly acceptable to take it in my eyes. I’m sure there were others who took a pass but haven’t been witch hunted for it. There was a queue for people with disabilities and other mobility issues. People would get a wristband and a timed entry. It was a very long queue, without any toilets provided!

" I was in the accessible queue with my mum, there were some at the end after you got the wristbands so people were leaving and coming back to go. I don't think they were expecting it to be so busy, we were lucky that we went early on and it was very quick so the toilet situation was fine then, but I imagine when it got busy it wasnt great, particularly as negotiating round the last bit with a wheelchair wouldn't have been easy. However, back to Phil and Holly, I don't really blame them. The TV producers asked them to go so it's not really their fault. Blame the show rather than the presenters for an error in judgment. Personally I think it would have made better reporting if they'd joined the queue and chatted to people along the way. They'd have got the real experience then | |||

I think the problem is they have changed their stories several times. | |||

"What is the difference between them two and susan Reid and David Beckham.who both qued up for over 12 hours.the latter two have respect and care about the public.schofield is just a crap tv presenter and will aby is all tits and a big gob They were working Well seeing as they only decided to do the special on Tuesday about their experience on Saturday morning after the backlash I think you are wrong. It really doesn't matter what you think. That's the official line. They were working. Or are their bosses lying too ? So was Boris and all his staff during lockdown , , just so happened they had wine and cheese " Let it go mate. He's long gone. | |||

"They were working. That’s a load of bollocks granny and you know it. " No Rex. Like absolutely everyone I know fuck all about it except what i've read from official sources and the official line is that 'they were working' ...... Those that want them hung , drawn and quartered don't have any insider knowledge but they are willing to lynch for a bit of drama. Just an angry mob. | |||

There's nowt so queer as folk Apparently they had to scour the country for the oak for the beams. They needed to be a particular shape " Yes, I read the same. The carvings on the ends of the beams and trusses are amazing, as are the stone carvings. It's a shame we could only move around a small area and for a limited time. There's nothing else like it anywhere in the UK, and I'd suggest the world. It was the largest hall at the time of its building and apparently always constructed with a self supporting roof - no columns. It's revised our understanding of architectural design of that period. | |||
