Lord Airlie
- Lord Airlie: Right. It's ten o'clock. Let's get started, shall we? And thank you all for coming at such short notice. I think we all agree that this is an extraordinarily sensitive occasion which presents us with tremendous challenges logistically, constitutionally, practically, diplomatically, and procedurally.
- Alastair Campbell: [under his breath] Oh, Christ.
- Lord Airlie: Good afternoon, Prime Minister, it's my job to organize all the ceremonial events. There is simply no precedent for the funeral of an ex-HRH.
- Tony Blair: Perhaps we shall plan for any contingency.
