He also voted yes in the last two independence referendums so he’s definitely of that view . The sooner you have independence and autonomy the better just how I feel about it . I feel as strongly about that as I do a united Ireland that could happen as there are clauses in the Good Friday agreement that would allow for it it would just come down to the results of a border referendum and politicians that I’ve heard speak on it have said it’s no longer a pipe dream and not a matter of if but when . There is a beautiful Irish Gaelic proverb ni neart ni cheile ( no strength without unity ) and that is true to me because together they would flourish and be better off economically speaking to the tune of 35 million euro because it would be a single market economy instead of a dual one which is the present reality . As for Wales they deserve autonomy too and not having to have their leader based in Westminster instead of Cardiff as whoever is the current English pm is also leader for wales in this day and age that’s preposterous !

Just to set the record straight, Sleep, Dearie, Sleep is actually a Gaelic lullaby and has traditionally been played as a military lights out tune (see the movie "Breaker Morant"), and would have been played for The Queen at the end of the day many times during her life. The Queen's Piper was playing it, for her for the last time, at the conclusion of the funeral.

Absolutely. For me though, the final lament at the Windsor committal service was more poignant. The crown, sceptre and orb were removed from the coffin before it descended into the vault, after which the piper piped his final tune and marched off into the distance.
