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

Did anyone watch right until the end? What happened did the live stream just end abruptly?

Yes just a sudden black screen

Unicorse · 19/09/2022 08:18

Yes I was quite surprised by the sudden end! There were still a few people in the queue and I wanted to see who would be last.

Notplayingball · 19/09/2022 08:18

There's no way I could stay up to watch the end this morning, will try and find it on YouTube... can't believe I won't be able to tune in tonight!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 19/09/2022 08:22

the bbc news had the final people, and last woman had been through already but joined the back of the queue so went through again!

Notplayingball · 19/09/2022 08:26

Nope, not on YouTube yet. Might take a few days for them to be uploaded.

I'm now watching a live stream no commentary of crowds and military on the BBC I got fed up of watching interviews by Huw Edwards chatting to Felicity Kendal Confused

Ryder68 · 19/09/2022 08:37

Watching "London prepares for the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II" on ITV News YouTube. No commentary.

Ryder68 · 19/09/2022 08:39

Ha same ideas derxa

derxa · 19/09/2022 08:41

In the Abbey now

lollipoprainbow · 19/09/2022 08:42

Will anyone else feel flat after today ? Feel awful to say that but I think I might. It's been such a dramatic and interesting few days, now it's back to mundane life and tribulations !!!

Ryder68 · 19/09/2022 08:43

Yes I think many will feel flat. I will for sure!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 19/09/2022 08:46

No commentary is so much better

Ryder68 · 19/09/2022 08:49

Agree. Much better just natural sounds.

^ if you'd kept watching it came back on again and you could see the officials leaving.

mumof2andstillsurviving · 19/09/2022 09:19

It was just incredible as there were so many people yet it was so quiet

I fell asleep so watched the last 30 minutes on iplayer. As far as I could see it stopped abruptly at the 6:30am point.

Serves me right for not hardcore enough to stay awake!

Rowgtfc72 · 19/09/2022 09:27

Who was the last lady through with the frilly sleeves and the stick ? She was in tears bless her.

I think it was Black Rod.

DysonSphere · 19/09/2022 09:37

I was watching Parliament TV. I got Black Rod walking behind everyone looking visibly upset, then switching to building outside Westminister abbey, big ben etc outside as they used to when cleaning. Then it switched to some boring news presenter giving commentary. I switched off at that point

Or maybe I imagined it. I am soooo tired with insomnia. What on earth am I going to do tonight?!!

DysonSphere · 19/09/2022 09:39

Watching Sky coverage. Lots of men in kilts and Royal airforce marching

WanderingFruitWonderer · 19/09/2022 11:51

I'm half watching the funeral, but it's just not doing it for me like 'The Queue' and the live stream did. It was the people (the public) and the quiet other worldly alchemy of it that I was addicted to. That touched me even as a non-royalist. Maybe it was one of those unique, once only ever times... I'm really missing it terribly already! I could only admit it on here. I couldn't admit it in real life! 🤭
