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

I thought this too. Very strong family resemblance.

PizzaFunghi · 17/09/2022 18:07

Yes James looks so young. And he has medals already! I don't think he is keen on crowds, being in public etc from what we've seen of him at other occasions, so this must take a lot of guts to do with so much attention focused on him

MrsLargeEmbodied · 17/09/2022 18:07

what a picture

Jellykat · 17/09/2022 18:07

I'd be anxious if yt nipper had to stand there in front of all those people looking..

PizzaFunghi · 17/09/2022 18:07

Where is Sophie? There were people in the balcony before. Or is she closer, to support the children if needed?

LIZS · 17/09/2022 18:09

Sophie is with Edward

megletthesecond · 17/09/2022 18:09

Sophie and Edward are on the balcony

She's right there at the side not far away.

toomuchlaundry · 17/09/2022 18:10

Bet they will be rushing round to them as soon as they can

AnSionnachGlic · 17/09/2022 18:10

It seems really intrusive to have the cameras focusing in on their grief stricken faces. Does not seem appropriate to me. They should not have to " perform" in this manner.

Jellykat · 17/09/2022 18:11

Its a tough call thats for sure!!!

She's on the balcony. Looking a bit on pins and her stare seems to be fixed on James love her.

I think they should have been able to do a private vigil, but maybe they did in Buckingham Palace when the Queen was there

PizzaFunghi · 17/09/2022 18:12

Yes I wish they wouldn't focus so close on their faces. I'd be really uncomfortable too. I'm glad Sophie is there nearby just in case and so they know she is there.

CTPT · 17/09/2022 18:12

Whose the chap behind Sophie on the balcony who seems to be uniform?

Redglitter · 17/09/2022 18:13

Who else is beside Edward & Sophie

toomuchlaundry · 17/09/2022 18:13

Seems a long time they are standing there

Jellykat · 17/09/2022 18:14

Ok, let them get off now...

toomuchlaundry · 17/09/2022 18:14

They've stopped the crowd so assume coming to the end

PizzaFunghi · 17/09/2022 18:14

Wonder who that person in uniform was signalling to just now, like he was telling someone to come

Maiyakat · 17/09/2022 18:14

The look on Sophie's face watching her children do this 😟 I really hope James was given a choice

PizzaFunghi · 17/09/2022 18:14

Oh or maybe it was to stop the crowd
