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.

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

I think there were about 14 naval women in the ratings pulling the gun carriage.

It's very hard to sing if you are emotional. Very well done those choristers!

1st time women doing that role.

I love the Duchess of Suxess’ hat

Diegofrompennyburn · 19/09/2022 11:08

I think the card says “ in loving and devoted memory, Charles R”

ScribblingPixie · 19/09/2022 11:08

I came straight on here when I saw the spider. And now someone's dropped their piece paper by the coffin. All getting a bit human!

PizzaFunghi · 19/09/2022 11:08

They were holding the childrens hands, at least at first

LetMeSpeak · 19/09/2022 11:08

Is George wearing black or navy?

Vapeyvapevape · 19/09/2022 11:08

I wonder if the cameras have been told no close ups of Charles etc - I hope so .

MrsTimRiggins · 19/09/2022 11:08

That dropped bit of paper, how annoying for him 😬

elizaregina · 19/09/2022 11:09

Kate looks amazing as usual.

Love Megan's hat but no jewelry?

Travelledtheworld · 19/09/2022 11:09

Those little children! They have brought tears to my eyes and I am not really a great fan of the Monarchy.

KitsyWitsy · 19/09/2022 11:09

I can’t stop thinking about that bit of paper. Omg

There were times when they did. William looked like he had his hand on his sword right next to George just in case.

One of the small, thin spindly legged sort

Seeing everyone sat in the lit up pews has made me think of that photo of the queen all on her own at her husbands funeral during lockdown. Heartbreaking.

Oblomov22 · 19/09/2022 11:10

Please someone pick up that piece of paper at the first opportunity.

Northernlurker · 19/09/2022 11:10

The flowers are stunning. Lovely bit of rosemary I think

MiniDinosaur · 19/09/2022 11:10

I wonder if Prince George realises what his future holds?
