I can't wait.

Did he bring it in a big poly bag?

It says coins will be handed out to 74 men and women because of Kings age (could be 75 I can't remember), so people will go thinking OK here comes the money and it's gonna be 15p In 1 and 2ps isn't it? 😂

Can I just save time and send him my gas bill to pay I can’t be arsed to travel all the way to York?

Parasites 🦠

I bet its busy

I Think I Speak For All British People When I Say We Won’t Bother The Royals For Any Money, We Can Survive On Our Own Just To Show We Are Strong! Who’s With Me?

No mention of whose money it is they're handing out. Not theirs, surely?

I used to attend the Maundy services at St Katharine by The Tower in London. I’d hold a basket of money for The Lord Mayor of London to distribute to the children present. What a honour it would be to do that for The King!.

There's going to be a long queue. And who's money is it anyway? AbolishtheMonarchy

Handing out my taxes😡😡

Is it Maundy Thursday already? I must have nodded off.

Not my King or Queen they do love a visit to North Yorks tho vanillas best pal lives at Newby hall

Hopefully egg throwers will hit their target this time.
