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

Was he put between then intentionally due to frosty relations?!

@alongtimeagoin2019

I think it’s Princess Margaret’s son
That was for @veeeeh!

Peter Philips is the oldest grandson so him being in the middle of the others makes sense.

I've just seen this thread so apologies if someone has answered this but who was in the car with the Queen?

HouseofWindsor · 17/04/2021 15:00

DH just hoping they've glued the sword and hat on as they go up the stairs

Ilikewinter · 17/04/2021 15:01

Oh sweet jesus those steps...oh my god the pressure

sashagabadon · 17/04/2021 15:01

Very hard to walk upstairs when you can’t see your feet, never mind carrying a coffin and it being hot and milllions watching too. They’ll deserve a drink after this!

Her lady in waiting apparently

It isn't hot, just sunny. It's only 13 degrees in Windsor today.

sashagabadon · 17/04/2021 15:02

The social distancing actually creates a poignant aesthetic

Hotelhelp · 17/04/2021 15:02

God I was a wreck watching them going up those stairs

It’s got in the sun in my back garden and I’m in west London not far away and not wearing a thick uniform with a hat on and carrying a coffin

I kept expecting the flowers to slide off

I'm generally not a fan of the royal family, but agree with a pp that to me, this is for each & everyone of the people who died as a result of covid in the past year.

I also think it must be so hard for a family who are "on show" as they mourn - they're doing very well to hold it together.

captainprincess · 17/04/2021 15:03

Thanks @maxiflump1

diddl · 17/04/2021 15:04

I'm a bit behind-the Queen getting out of the vehicle alone Sad

veeeeh · 17/04/2021 15:04

Thank you to those who identified Princess Margaret's son.

My heart was in my mouth as they climbed all those stairs with the coffin. But as always, perfectly done.

Another question, forgive me, where will the Duke be buried, is it within the church?

RampantIvy · 17/04/2021 15:04

The chapel looks so empty without all the seating

cuparfull · 17/04/2021 15:05

@ineedaholidaynow

The landrover has just arrived Sad And bringing his carriage with his blanket etc
And a little red topped tub of sugar lumps for the carriage horses x

The poor queen she just looks like a sad lonely old lady I think its a bit rubbish she has to have the cameras inside the church as well.

indeed, seeing them all desperately putting their masks on the second they entered the chapel as no doubt if they we're even a second late there would be people baying for their blood. Remarkable dignity.

Beautiful singing

Ughmaybenot · 17/04/2021 15:06

Crying for the queen, as so many others have said, she just looks so small and sad. And alone. Charles got to me too, he is clearly really struggling to hold it together.

Doesn't she look frail and a little unsteady Sad
