This is a real good guide for all the timings for tomorrow - www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60617519

The bit at the end with the Lord Chamberlain will be the hardest to watch I think, signaling the end of his service to her, as will the act of separating her from her crown.

I know everyone isn't a royalist but today will be such a sad occasion.

Oh for goodness sake, George and Charlotte 😭

Hazelmary18 · 19/09/2022 11:04

And the young lads carrying the coffin. Such a responsibility but they did a great job.

WGACA · 19/09/2022 11:04

I know 😥

MarshaBradyo · 19/09/2022 11:04

The bearers look amazing, strong and proud

QuebecBagnet · 19/09/2022 11:04

Is it the same bearer party today as the ones who Carried her into Westminster hall a few days ago?

vroom321 · 19/09/2022 11:05

Andrew walking alone

LetMeSpeak · 19/09/2022 11:05

After 10 days of managing not to crack I’m finally shedding a few tears, the hymn has done it for me. 😪

I went to school with one, I couldn’t believe it when I saw him. How proud his lovely family must be.

Tears have been threatening since they left Westminister hall. Don’t think i’ll be holding them back much longer

And Charlotte with her mum. There was talk on another thread about them being separate.

It’s because people read the order of service and didn’t think about the fact that fitting “HRH The Prince of Wales, HRH The Princess of Wales, HRH a Prince George of Wales & HRH Princess Charlotte of Wales” on one line was going to be impossible so jumped to conclusions and started throwing around nastiness.

That got me too

George & Charlotte in between their parents, bless them

I know. So little. Good on them for coming, though - it must be daunting but I'm glad they're getting to say goodbye to their great granny.

AlecTrevelyan006 · 19/09/2022 11:05

sad I have carried a coffin twice - it’s very difficult. Huge respect to the young men carrying out this duty.

SoupDragon · 19/09/2022 11:05

There's a spider on the flower card!

XXV · 19/09/2022 11:05

Oh god this is so emotional.

There's a spider on the condolence card!

QuebecBagnet · 19/09/2022 11:05

I wonder if Meghan had to do an emergency shopping trip? I’m assuming she wouldn’t have come over with a weeks worth of black just in case.

EverydayMusing · 19/09/2022 11:06

Why are there no females from the Navy? And the archers? Are women not allowed?

Lonelycrab · 19/09/2022 11:06

Such beautiful singing

HeidiWhole · 19/09/2022 11:06

Such a long walk....

There were female sailors in the gun carriage party and along the route

Hmmmwhatnametochoose · 19/09/2022 11:06

If Andrew puffs his chest out any more he's going to explode.

Bemyclementine · 19/09/2022 11:06

A couple of those bearers look quite emotional.

SoupDragon · 19/09/2022 11:06

What a magnificent view of Abbey

WGACA · 19/09/2022 11:06

The choir is so beautiful.

PizzaFunghi · 19/09/2022 11:07

I wonder if there is room in the uniform pockets for bundles of hankies. I can't imagine how they're not blubbing already, and if they do, what they can do about it while marching or processing or whatever. It always makes my nose and eyes pour and I can't stop it. I know they're practiced at it all but still.
