And the king has just died - they've declared a year of mourning

That isn't a joke either... as well as the world's longest serving monarch he was also a jazz musician and composer - not a bad one, although not really one of the greats.

My Son is out there on hols at the moment. Apart from there being a very sombre mood everywhere they have stopped selling alcohol.
