LOVE Actually is being used to describe TWO strangers who met while waiting to pay their respects.
Jack Ciuro and Zoe, two royal mourners who arrived at 10:30 p.m. the previous night, claim they bonded in the line.
Jack and Zoe revealed that they’ve kept each other entertained with “’crisps and chat” and are planning to meet up again to watch the Queen’s funeral together.
“It’s going to be mixed emotions,” Zoe said, “and it’s something that is part of history so we want to be there and share that moment with someone else.”
Jack added: “It’s going to be sombre, really. Seeing the Queen go down through to Windsor – it’s going to be weird to see really.”
This Richard Curtis-esque meet-cute has led to Twitter users comparing the moment to popular rom-com Love Actually.
“I guess you could call it a… meet queue-t”, joked one Twitter user.
Others described the moment as “cute” and “sweet”, and some suggested that finding love in the queue could become its own rom-com, titled “queue actually.”
Another commented a rather dad-like joke, posting: “Hope they remembered the mourning after pill.”
“Hope they remembered the mourning after pill,” one person wrote in a surprisingly dad-like statement.
Some Twitter users have previously foreseen the possibility of a rom-com based on this premise or romance beginning amongst line participants.
One individual revealed their concept for a love story: “Novel pitch: I LOVE QUEUE.
Some Twitter users had already predicted the possibility of romance starting between members of the queue, or a rom-com based on this idea.
One shared their idea for a romance book:“Novel pitch: I LOVE QUEUE.
One person wrote: “Hugh Grant and Kate Winslet, spend 30 hours falling in love as they wait to pay her respects to the Queen, but her majesty isn’t the only thing been buried as they also hold secrets that threaten to wreck their relationship before it starts.” Others posted their own movie concepts.
Some people said that a pair running into each other in line may make a cute John Lewis Christmas commercial.
