Our learners have Tuesday and Wednesday in school, then on Thursday they get a day off as we have a training day, which would've been on the Friday, but it is now a Bank Holiday. As a self-trained royal historian, I will be glued to the coverage. It is questionable whether the royal family are worth it or not. I think in terms of tourism and patronage they are, but people from other countries do seem to love the monarchy when they are visiting Britain, but when asked if they'd like a monarchy in their own country, They say no. I however, love the pomp and circumstance, although given the state of the public finances, I am having to sort out in my head the concept of the government contributing money for the wedding, when there are people in this country who are facing homelessness or who are homeless. I'm sure I will really enjoy the spectacle; I always do, but I'm sure there will be something in the back of my mind...
