National Day/week of Mourning = Days off work/school

As of yet, seeing as I can't remember any royals passing away recently, having a national day of mourning might be a possibility. I don't know about you, but I don't exactly know how I would feel about having a day off in the circumstance that someone important died. At the end of the day, I never knew them, so other than the effect it would have on the government set-up/monarchy, it wouldn't really have much of an effect on me. Then of course you get those who just want a day off so they don't have to do anything. So to summarize, until it happens, we wont know.

Although, in the case that the Queen passed away, like the Royal Wedding, we would probably be given a day off on the date of the service - because normally nowadays private services such as funerals for important people are televised. I don't know how I'd feel about that if either a member of my family's or even my own funeral was shown on TV. But it probably will be I mean, Winston Churchill's funeral was on Television, and I think Margaret Thatcher's one was too. But who knows. Maybe.
