Contact details at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09558033/officers — looks like a personal firm run by someone listing their occupation as "Internet Expert".
I felt the website www.watchtvabroad.com was really given gravitas by the list of PHP warning messages at the bottom including "Failed to enable crypto in /home/customer/www/watchtvabroad.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/watchtvabroad/popup.php on line 2" (for those who don't know, you're meant to switch off debugging mode and send those sort of warnings to a log file in the admin area before launching the website publicly — and, even better, fix the theme so it's not generating such warnings).

I am not unemotional but I was not in the slightest moved by the funeral of somebody I have never met and have no attachment of any kind to. I could go on but would get told to shift to the dark side.😠

News which I have found moving recently: Flooding in Pakistan; events in Ukraine.
The whole mourning pantomime I have found as emotionally engaging as a copy of Hello magazine in the dentist's waiting room.

I don't think I could rationally be described as "unemotional"; just for instance I attended a funeral of a friend earlier this year. I found myself completely incapacitated by grief, quite incapable of speech and utterly exhausted.
I was emotionally quite unaffected by the Queen's funeral.
"being unmoved by the Queen's funeral" and "being unemotional" are not at all connected, in my personal experience.

Surely it's only pantomime if people are faking i.e. a grieving family in this case.

All getting a bit pointless now though, isn't it. 61 pages and now it's degenerating into personal points scoring. Maybe it is time to "switch off"

One of the big problems with the monarchy as a concept is that it compels the family to be seen to behave in a particular way.
For those in the family who deviate from this way, opprobrium is piled on - "how *dare* a married couple hold hands in public!"
And they are forced into things which can be deeply damaging - being compelled to stoicism before an audience; being compelled at very young ages to take an official part in public mourning; feeling obliged to take teenage brides more than a decade younger...
This is, in my opinion, damaging to them as individuals as well as damaging to us as a nation by our complicity. Others, of course, will hold a quite different view of such events.
