The Queens funeral

[KenAdams]

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.

They are playing your song Charles!

Guess they did a different fanfare and reveille instead of the Last Post, probably not a bad thing

I bet Charles is glad he doesn't ever have to sing the National Anthem again. It must grate after the years.

Seems weird crass singing King while the Queen's body is there.😓

How many verses of the national anthem are there?

🙄 I suppose not everyone is watching.

I don't think I've ever heard the second verse

God save the king just threw me. Ive had ten days to get used to it.

King of Sweden there, someone was wondering if he'd cone

Send him victorious, still gets me

The Queen’s state funeral is not about diversity.
That is pretty obvious.

Thought the same!

We didn't, either. I was entertaining f the baby and my three year old was doing a Peppa Pig drag-and-drop game. 'Hello, Mr. Potato! Hello, Suzy Sheep!'.

'In the midst of life, we are in death', according to the BCP. More the other way around, in this house!

It wasn't a very personal service though, nothing about her as a person or her family. I'm not sure it would make me cry as a member of the family (although I'm not religious so maybe that's part of it). I would have thought there would be more emotion at the family service later today.

We're George and Charlotte sitting next to each other earlier? Maybe not. Kate is between them now

Oh gosh poor King, he looks so sad during the National Anthem

Edward couldn't sing, he was on the verge of tears.

It must be so weird for Charles hearing that sung now.

Ok. So I was golfing it together - until the nAtional anthem

Me too.

Oh my goodness how beautiful

I’m still not saying “king” until the after the coronation.

Oh a lament I think

This reminds me of the piper at PP's funeral. That was incredible.

The piper

Seems a bit odd them all singing god save the king in front of the queen's coffin!
