Clearly the beginning of the end!

Big Chief Runamuck again proves that he does not read below the headlines. Obviously the print is too small for him.
"The changes - the first since the Opening of Parliament after the snap election of 1974 - are nothing to do with her age.
Had the State Opening happened as scheduled in May - all the ceremonial dresses, carriages and crowns would have been brought out as usual.
The reason for the 'dressing down' is one of logistics.
The snap election has changed a timetable which means the military and the Palace can't make it happen.
There is a full Trooping the Colour two days before.
The rehearsal for the State Opening would have to be held on the Friday morning and it was decided it simply wasn't possible."
