@the80sweregreat

Go over to ITV!

Thank you! Much better!

I had a tear up at his gloves on his carriage. This feels very personal for a royal funeral.

Yes, that was sad. I wonder what was in the plastic bottle with the red lid?
I'm so glad it's not pouring down today.

I thought treats too.

I hope the family can take some comfort in as private and intimate a funeral it was ever going to be.

I love that he planned everything about his own funeral, even down to designing a landrover hearse

The beautiful fell ponies, and the carriage with his cap, scarf and gloves was so poignant. Its so respectful and dignified. So sad.

So poignant that the Queen is coming last, behind the Duke when it was always the other way round.

It's a lovely funeral feels very personal and less pomp and circumstance. I teared up at the cap in the carriage then when I vowed to thee my country played
