Go on, do it!

There are a number of places where it makes sense and would be truly helpful:

Quote

This article is about the antelope species. For other uses, see Gazelle (disambiguation)

 

There is actually one reference there for the "South Devon Eagle class"

  • Gazelle (SG 364 of 1859); GWR no. 2110; withdrawn 1865 / Named after the swift animal, gazelle.

 

The Gazelle (disambiguation) page could use a link to the B1 page.

Yes, it could, and i'd happily let you do it, because I fear the wrath of the Wiki moderators even more than the RMWeb members of the species....

The flag seems well back, like it belongs to the grey structure above the front of the car. Almost looks like a memorial.

I am sure that it is; the black flag is the POW/MIA Memorial Flag.

The flagpole has nothing to do with the station. It is a veteran's memorial, adjacent to the 'car park' at the station.

 

I presume you are just kidding around with the references to the flagpole and a "flag stop".

Public asked to shout out allegiance to King Charles III during Coronation

 

Apparently, during the coronation,,the Archbish of Canterbury will proclaim “God Save The King”, with the nation then responding: “God Save King Charles. Long Live King Charles. May The King live for ever.” like the good little subjects that we are.

 

This is made possible by the immediacy of modern technology and a live broadcast.

 

Mind you modern technology is a double-edged sword. There's still time for a counter-campaign encouraging people to stand on their front doorsteps and, at the appropriate moment shout: "B0ll0cks to Charlie."

Do what you like, its just audience participation.

Can we please replace the whole shebang with some farcical aquatic ceremony?

I hear that the band "Kansas" are a late addition to the evening's entertainment, as with Harry now attending, a rendition of "Carry on my Wayward Son" would be most appropriate.

If the rumours about James Hewitt are true they could get Genesis to sing "No Son Of Mine."

To quote Dennis: "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government."

 

These days Health and Safety wouldn't allow it either.
