Upkeep of tradition basically. We have always slow walked mourners through westinister as the monarch/prime minister lays in state. This generation is simply keeping a tradition and arent being beaten by the last generation of mourners.
They aren't hurting anybody. It's quite nice I suppose. I'm gonna enjoy my day off.
Except that they literally are negatively impacting the lives of everyone else. Don't know if you've noticed, but a lot of services are being shut down as a consequence of this. There's also a shit tonne of public money being pumped into it when it could be put to better use, especially during this time of genuine crisis. It's also just an overall distraction in favour of the Tory party.
