placards and protest while this is going a lot of people really wondering if it's time to move on from the monarchy here, and it's a question, guys, that didn't really come up for the last 70 years out of respect for the queen and her length of service and everything she had done for this country, but now there seems to be that growing push. for most, though, it's going to be a very exciting, again, a very historic weekend, one filled with all the pomp, the circumstance, the traditions of the royal family, and of course a lot of people watching to see everyone gather and how this carries out. couple of more days to prepare, and then the show is on saturday morning right here back to you. >> the world has not seen the likes of this in 71 years. jay gray reporting from london thank you. >> see you, jay. we'll see who shows up mexico just received a gift
