I am rather curious as to whether HM will arrive for the second Opening of Parliament in a matter of a few months with all pomp and ceremony as per the norm. Or will HM simply arrive by car and not wear the robes etc.
Or maybe arrive by car and wear the robes and crown as normal after arrival.
Trivial thoughts I know, but thats how my mind works sometimes.
The official version is that Thursday's state opening will be scaled down solely because of the unforeseen circumstances of a December snap election, implying that the next state opening will return to the usual pomp and ceremony. Personally I doubt it due to the Queen's age.
