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.

Incredibly Regal. What an honour for those attending.

However- Imagine being there and needing the loo. I’m going to have a wee for all those currently sat cross legged in that audience 🫣

RachelSq · 19/09/2022 11:13

That shot of James wiping his face (not focussed on him).

What a humanising moment.

Isn't Zara there?

I presume so Mike Tindall is there.

What does the note on the flowers on the top of the coffin say. I couldn't make out the handwriting

Isn't Zara there?

She’s next to Peter. Same row as William.

AnneShirleysNewDress · 19/09/2022 11:14

@poppym12 Zara is just along from William and Carherine I think.

@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

There always had to be a Megan dig. As if she'd be off to M&S looking for a black dress.

Todays the anniversary of my fathers death, we sang St Clement at his funeral- although not quite as well as the choir!

Isn't Zara there?

Yes. Her and Mike.

The piece of paper trying to be famous

Can you imagine what went through the priests mind? “Oops….oh….fuck, fuckfuckfuckFUCK!” as it fluttered to the floor. 😂

it probably says ‘remember to get milk’

Pyjamagame · 19/09/2022 11:14

Love a good descant.

excelledyourself · 19/09/2022 11:14

Was James crying there? Sad

Isn't Zara there?

Yes she is. She's in the front row just down from William and Kate

Travelledtheworld · 19/09/2022 11:14

Isn't the crown amazing when you see it close up ? And the flowers with it.

JudgeJ · 19/09/2022 11:14

poppym12 · 19/09/2022 11:12

Isn't Zara there?

Yes, they walked in with Beatrice etc.

NashvilleQueen · 19/09/2022 11:15

Love a good descant.

Absolutely beautiful.

Jellykat · 19/09/2022 11:15

Paper picked up i think..

poppym12 · 19/09/2022 11:15

Thanks, I saw Peter a few times but not Zara.

Sunbird24 · 19/09/2022 11:15

Edward and Sophie both with their hankies 😭

Oblomov22 · 19/09/2022 11:15

Thank goodness that piece of paper was removed. The close ups looked dreadful with it. Pleased.

BarryKentPoet · 19/09/2022 11:15

The flowers were from her own gardens, including myrtle which symbolises her marriage to Phillip.

PizzaFunghi · 19/09/2022 11:15

So did any of the other royal great grandchildren go, sitting there somewhere - the older ones like Peter's, or Zara's elder ones?

I think I'd have to have medication of some sort to stop incessant tears and dripping , if there is such a thing. Maybe they do too.

Show quote history

It's not a dig FFS. Presumably she didn't travel with a funeral/mourning wardrobe and has had to get one.

Good that the camera feed cut away from him quickly.

Elderflower14 · 19/09/2022 11:15

Edward is crying now... 😔

givememarmite · 19/09/2022 11:15

Oh the singing is just wonderful and so emotional...now I can't stop the tears
