EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Could Prince William consider returning to the late queen’s convention, where the first in the line of succession travel separately?
William, Kate and the children ditched the late Queen’s convention that the first in the line of succession travel separately and rode together to Kate’s carol service at Westminster Abbey.

Journalist Tony Holden had a beautiful funeral broadcast at St Martin-in-the-Fields yesterday. Paying tribute was his great friend Lord Bragg, whose minister’s daughter Marie-Elsa Roche Bragg led the prayers and eulogies of Tina Brown, Gyles Brandreth and Scottish journalist Magnus Linklater.
