Something I've never considered. Respect for funerals in the UK. What is expecte

I just read this about what is expected if there is a funeral passing by.
Tip or take off your hat.
Stop what you are doing.
Don't cross the road ahead of the procession.
Under some circumstances don't pass.
They usually travel at 20 mph.

Did I get some wrong?

I think that's pretty much the same for the US. I'd say young people are just ignorant of the rules in both countries. I learned about this kind of stuff from my parents.

I though that only men were expected to take off their hats. Also, not an etiquette matter, more superstition, my friend's Cockney mother told her that if you happen to be on the pavement and a funeral passes it is bad luck to watch it after it has gone by (to turn your head  to watch the back of the procession recede into the distance)

Interesting. I've never heard of pedestrians having to stop what they are doing just because a procession is going past.

This is just the opinion of some guy in a newspaper article.

I've only occasionally seen it in the UK and I used to work near a church that held a lot of funerals.   

My friends and I would go out at lunch and we would stop so as not to get in the way of the pall bearers, but no one would stop if it was driving by.  Often you wouldn't notice until they passed and were gone. 

I would say, of course, Wooton Bassett is different.
