Today I picked up our biggest win on the lottery in a long time. Wait for it

A massive £94. LOL. This was actually won on two lines as well.

This was helped as there was no jackpot winner, so the money was rolled down in the lower prizes.

Today was the day that the world saw the longest ever serving monarch reach her final destination after an incredible 70 years of service.

The weather held for the day as she was taken from Westminster Hall to Westminster Cathedral for the service and then to Marble Arch by a carriage pulled by the Navy, where it was transferred to a funeral car for the journey to Windsor.

Some of the roads they drove on, I was driving on them yesterday. Seemed surreal.

There were crowds for the whole journey, just shows what England thought of her.

Incredible day watching this event on the television.

A few pictures I captured from the television.

I went on the Royal website today, I had actually earlier in the week, (but didn’t know what to say), and this time I did.

Still hard to believe that the Queen has passed away.

I was sitting at the table and my phone pinged. It was an unusual phone number for a text message, so I blocked the number as the text was a bit suspicious.

Then my phone pinged again and this was from Nat West, saying you will receive a text about activity on my credit card.

Looked at the previous text that I blocked and could see a strange entry.

So I replied and then contacted Nat West.

I was very impressed as this was for a small amount but they still blocked it

From speaking with the Nat West staff it was for some insurance setup, though the company didn’t exist.

The only place I think they could have got my details from, was I had a failed online order the previous weekend.

Very impressed.

We were walking around Bluewater, when Claire got a ping on her mobile.

It was a breaking news that the Queen had passed away.

Even though during the day, the family had been asked together, it didn’t seem real, as we only saw pictures of her two days before with the kissing of the hand duties for the new prime minister.

Seventy years’ service, incredible.

RIP

This morning I took part in a sports fan survey, but it shows how things are changing as it was all about NFT’s, Fan Tokens, the Metaverse and Fan Research Platforms.

I’ll be honest, a lot of it went over my head. ?

What about actually playing or watching the game?

Having been to London stadium before to watch athletics, I was sent a few emails to say I would have priority access to tickets before general release.

The priority window opened on Friday 12^th to Monday 15^th midday.

I didn’t do it on Friday as we were travelling back from Christchurch and left it to Monday morning. I clicked on the link in the email and nothing happened.

I had signed in, so I logged out and back in again, but nothing.

So I rang the number in the email and was told that all the priority tickets had gone.

After hanging up, I thought that was bizarre and never heard of that before. I logged in later, but where we wanted to sit, there were no tickets available, so we won’t be going to that next year.

I thought priority meant you had choice of tickets, do you agree or not?
