Livestream of the Queen Lying-in-State

[Confusedandanxiety]

I've been finding this mesmerising so thought I'd create a dedicated thread.
Saw Justin Trudeau and his wife pass through earlier.

It's visual ASMR

You are so right!

No matter what else is going on, here is an oasis of calm, respect and dignity. The clockwork like guards give out an ambience of order, safety and protection too.

I accidently quoted you. I meant theres loud sobbing going on!

Yes, even the banging to signal the change of soldiers and clockwork stepping in time is somehow soothing. Second the calm, respect and dignity. It's so nice to see it on such a collective scale. It's so rare

I know you mistakenly quoted but you may well be right!

Tuesday will seem so flat.

Watch again, it’s all on the iPlayer for a month!

Hot guy is back!

it is so lovely that the camera follows the men who salute, they catch them before, during and aftewards

oh hot guy alert thank you!

The rarity adds to it. First State Funeral since Churchill.

On for a month! good gradual weaning off time then.

Big Ben will toll at 8pm with a muffled bell in the Elizabeth Tower, then at the end of the minute’s silence.

@ryder68 Yes there's something very Adam Ant and 'Prince Charming' about the boots:

He's gone I wonder if he'll be back?

Take your pick on YouTube! The National have a livestream, as does BBC, Sky News etc.

Very hot! I mean good, practical boots. Ahem.

God it's going to be a real drag. Everything goes back to normal, media coverage will be back to the usual, work, bills the norm.

In some countries everything stops for weeks in an event like this. I guess after covid government is keen to get business back to normal. Some employers aren't even allowing staff off on Monday.

A national depression may descend. Life will be grim for so many this winter.

Let's hope someone puts it on YouTube

Yes. Agree 100% 🙁

Back in a few hours, off to see family

The dogs are interesting. A couple of them seem to have been support / therapy dogs as opposed to guide dogs / service dogs.

Blonde hair in a bun. Saw her. Had to look twice.

Blonde hair in a bun.

Yes, I saw her on two separate occasions - or two different ones who looked similar; because of the camera angle I didn't see her face.

Queue still open with wait time of 9.5 hours.

There was a bloke earlier, maybe about 12.15 ish, in a white shirt who blatantly pushed the top of his phone out of his breast pocket to take a video/photos! I really hope security caught up with him as he left!

What's wrong with some people? They think the same rules don't apply to them? Hope security force him to delete any pictures he took. Seriously!

Wish we knew whos who on the balcony
