The Queens funeral

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.

The piece of paper trying to be famous

NeckFanInSoftPlay · 19/09/2022 11:10

Where was the spider and the dropped piece of paper please?

TugboatAnnie · 19/09/2022 11:10

So sad this hymn 🥲

JustLyra · 19/09/2022 11:11

Interesting that Fergie is sat with the family. She’s next to Eugenie and behind Kate.

Shows the Queen’s fondness for her I think.

My mums favourite hymn - I can hardly see to type this

Oblomov22 · 19/09/2022 11:11

The signing is utterly beautiful.

It hadn't occurred to me before, but I'm now annoyed that the law change wasn't backdated. Princess Anne would make for a wonderful Queen, and she's so low down the order of succession. She's been incredibly dignified throughout everything.

NeckFanInSoftPlay · 19/09/2022 11:11

@SO224350 Why are you telling PP to shut up? H&M we're already over here when the Queen died. So it's a reasonable question

JourneyToThePlacentaOfTheEarth · 19/09/2022 11:12

The day thou gavest. My dad's favourite hymn. He died last year

Kate looks amazing as usual.

Love Megan's hat but no jewelry?

To be fair she wouldn't be about to do right for doing wrong.

Divebar2021 · 19/09/2022 11:12

The flowers are stunning. Lovely bit of rosemary I think

The flowers look very informal to me…. Love them.

I'm watching it now and I'm completely distracted by the piece of paper that the bungling bishop(?) dropped to the floor while he was fussing with his glasses. This piece of paper is completely ruining the camerA shots and now it's all I can focus on!

PICK IT UP!!!!

The day Charles had a child she was pushed down, rule change or not.

I think the RF do travel with black clothes in case of emergency.

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

Really caught the eye didn't it?!

poppym12 · 19/09/2022 11:12

Isn't Zara there?

Bunnycat101 · 19/09/2022 11:12

You really see the scale of the abbey from the tv footage- its massive. I’m still wondering how they’ve secured the crown etc to avoid it falling off. They obviously can’t do anything that will damage the pieces but I’d be terrified being the bearer that I’d drop something.

RedDwarfGarbagePod · 19/09/2022 11:12

I love this hymn. So optimistic - about how it's always dawn somewhere and how eternal praise is. Very uplifting.

MajesticWhine · 19/09/2022 11:12

I think the piece of paper has been retrieved thank god

Idontknowwhatto · 19/09/2022 11:13

George having a cheeky little nose pick there. My son would have been the same!

What a magnificent view of Abbey

The shots looking straight down are always amazing. When Charles and Diana married there was a fantastic shot down into St Pauls which was lovely because the black and white tiles make a wonderful cross.

JustLyra · 19/09/2022 11:13

Nice to seen Queen Margarethe and Princess (formerly Queen) Beatrix sat in the front row of the foreign royals. Apparently the three of them were quite close as they each understood being a female monarch in places, and in a time, where people really wanted male monarchs.

LetMeSpeak · 19/09/2022 11:13

I have a strange feeling a lot of these posters criticising Meghan during the Queens funeral are just trolls who don’t have a life.
