If you are watching the funeral, are you watching bbc or itv?

My mum reckons most people will be watching BBC. What are you watching? BBC for me and my mum (separate homes)

The Queen sitting on her own was just So used to seeing Philip by her side.

It was nice to see William, Kate and Harry walking together.

That was beautiful and very fitting.

Yes Zara had a boy called Lucas.

Which made me giggle because the lad who played PW in The Crown was called Lucas!

Beatrice looked upset as they left the chapel, nice to see her husband support her. She looked like she didn't want to leave the chapel :(

Always the BBC for this type of occasion. Sadly it was spoiled for me by neighbours' dogs barking incessantly outside my window

Do you think dry sherry all round ?

@Dobbyafreeelf

Zara had her son two weeks ago. Think it's just Megan pregnant now.

Really nice to see William and Harry talking & walking together

Oh yes of course. It must be lovely for the queen having all the new babies arriving. Bitter sweet too of course without her husband.

@HouseofWindsor

Do you think dry sherry all round ?

Them or us?!

I can't watch, too close to home at the min :(

But just to say - it is hot. I'm about 5 miles from Windsor, and sitting in the garden in a vest.

"Interesting... I like the land rover thing but other wise... Very dry and boring"

It was the funeral of a 99yr old, traditional man who I think had mainly organised it as he wanted it to be

Even dd said at the beginning, I wonder what would happen if the trumpeter went mad and started to go all Louis Armstrong... Wouldn't that be so special and sensational..

The DofE would have hated that though.

Charles and his hanky

Spring that's the funeral Prince Philip wanted and planned. It was his send of for his family.

Not a spectacle for us to watch.

Very dry and boring

One man’s dry and boring is another’s elegant and moving. Reduced numbers aside, it seemed like exactly what he would have wanted. A rousing choir would not be allowed due to covid restrictions, that’s why there were only 4 choristers.

Hate the organ.. The repressed singing in those strange strangled accents... The droll awful organ.

Imagine a rousing choir... Opera..
Rusticana.. Orchestra..

The choir were fantastic.I wasn't 100% on all of the choices but loved the Britten.

A few splits from the post horns.

I’ll raise a glass of Sherry with you, and with them HouseOfWindsor

Agree

..

I find it all very droll... Uninspiring..the organ.. Does anyone really like it??

@Tullyjune

Seems they are not in as much of a feud as the media would have us believe.

Beginning to wonder if this feud may have been used as something of a shield. Providing some privacy and reduction in speculation about His health in the final months of the Duke's life.

It’s a funeral, not the last night of the bloody proms.

@itsgettingwierd I'll be raising a glass of red tonight

God bless The Queen

I do not think "droll" means what you think it means

Really disliked the Britton, obviously covid restrictions.

But I just dislike this organ, droll choir, droll vicars reading.

So flat.
