'I thought it was a hoax...' pride and honour as Mancunians invited to Queen Elizabeth II's funeral
Mancunians who've been invited to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II have expressed their shock and honour to be part of one of the biggest moments in the country's history.
After receiving an invite for Her Majesty's funeral, Rebecca said she was so convinced it was a hoax that she emailed the Cabinet Office to double check. "I will be getting the tube by myself the morning of the state funeral which I imagine will feel very surreal," she said. "I think I'm wearing the same as everyone else which is a smart black dress and black hat.
"People are very upset which really symbolises what she meant to people. Being considered for an MBE was an honour itself - that is something special and something I'll always be grateful for. "We were told very early on to be in uniform or a lounge suit so I've got my outfit ready. I'll be getting the earliest train to London on Monday before making my way to Westminster Abbey."
Claire says she plans to head into Stockport town centre tomorrow to pick up an outfit, and has had to book a train from Doncaster because the ones from Manchester are now full.
