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

Does anyone else think it’s really intrusive when the camera purposely zones in on someone is is very upset? They’ve zoomed in on a (possibly) Jewish man who looked really upset.

I just saw him, he kind of raised his hand to the ceiling and looked so upset :(

Zosime · 18/09/2022 21:23

I just noticed him. Yes, I thought he was Jewish. He was very graceful in his gestures, despite his distress.

I agree, feel really upset for him.

Once outside there are volunteers with tissues ready to chat to anyone who wants to, I hope they will take care of him.

Hooray for sound.

Hooray for the reassuring stick bang!

Oh and @NeckFanInSoftPlay I think calling it ‘the cross thing’ is most likely pretty offensive to people whose faith it represents.

Oh grow up it was a simple observation and in response to a PP's comment about people of different religions and how they pay respects. Context people, context is everything!

It's so calming and quiet.

Is that the king of Norway?

Ooh good call. I wasn't sure.

Jellykat · 18/09/2022 21:29

I do like the way the Bearskin guards position their hands, one over the other, its slightly camp

Zosime · 18/09/2022 21:29

I think so.

LIZS · 18/09/2022 21:31

Who is this guy?

CPL593H · 18/09/2022 21:32

I found this interesting (considering it's about crown we've all been staring at for days Grin )

I knew some of it but not the bit about the accident at George V funeral!!

Zosime · 18/09/2022 21:33

Police just changing over.

LIZS · 18/09/2022 21:34

Not many accessible visitors in evidence now.

lollipoprainbow · 18/09/2022 21:34

Getting my last fix before tomorrow, I could watch all day !! Will miss the people and the tappy stick.

WanderingFruitWonderer · 18/09/2022 21:35

I think I'm going to have to make sure I watch the end at 6.30am tomorrow. Oh how I'll miss it. But having said that, maybe it's the temporary passing nature of it that is part of its alchemy...

guestusername · 18/09/2022 21:36

Can I just say how fab I think the ushers have been?

Zosime · 18/09/2022 21:36

Q time now approx 8 hours. They will have to close it soon.

Ahhh the lady with the photo in a frame, her parents maybe? God bless her

Jellykat · 18/09/2022 21:44
