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

Ugh. Little girl. So cute.

I loving seeing all the children paying respects with their parents.

we Wondered if they cut away when there’s someone who wouldn’t want to be on TV coming through. Eg military or something. Not senior enough to have a special pass, but not someone who’d want their face and whereabouts broadcast to millions.

Just went to get washing off the line, why have they cut to an outside shot?

This happened a few days ago, there was no reason why. No one knew.

I was just thinking about that scene with the Bidens visiting, but the queue still going through as normal - that must have been particularly strange for those going through the hall at that point. Some didn’t know which way to look. If they’d been told 10 days ago that they’d spend a minute or two on their Sunday evening standing next to the Queen and the US President, they wouldn’t have believed it.

i think each battalion (?) beefeaters at least, do a 14 hour stint!

I'd rather spend a few minutes standing next to William, then Biden tbh Grin

Amazing to imagine, but so true.

A few feet from a crown containing a jewel worn in his helmet by Henry V at Agincourt and Richard III at Bosworth. Such concentrated history, that hundreds of thousands of people have become a part of.

Who’s the flamboyant chap with the hat and shades? His friend looked familiar?

I saw him! He looked like a young Bob Dylan, but as he went thro, the camera cut to the coffin.. I wanted to see if he took his hat off!

HRTQueen · 18/09/2022 18:48

I’ve found it fascinating and calming

no loud sobbing just quiet respectful gentle show of respect towards the Queen. Im moved by the soldiers saluting

So did I! He seemed too fantastically dressed not to be an artist of some kind

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/09/2022 19:02

what time was this bob dylan character?

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/09/2022 19:09

oh i have wound back to 18.36 and saw him, the camera focused on him, he was carrying a big camera, i think,

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/09/2022 19:11

oh and i saw the woman who was interviewed at the start of the queue, who praised the queen for coming to Jamaica, she wanted to show her thanks, so that was lovely

Jellykat · 18/09/2022 19:16
