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.

Where does everyone go after? Is there a wake?

MossGrowsFat · 19/09/2022 12:07

Prince George and Princess Charlotte, I can't seem to find the words I want to describe them. I think it was the right, but brave choice, to take them.

HeidiWhole · 19/09/2022 12:07

I feel a bit sorry for Princes William & especially George watching all that. It's not a life I would choose

ApolloandDaphne · 19/09/2022 12:07

That was a beautiful service.

Blimey, this organ music sounds dreadful. Like Les Dawson is playing it.

God save the King is very jarring to me, its the thing that hits the most that the Queen has gone.

I wish the pp hadn’t said that one of the bearers was having difficulty holding it together! I will be watching even more nervously now.

The Piper at Prince Philip's funeral was incredibly poignant too.

Internment service at Windsor for the royals

I hope the spider behaves and doesn't crawl on one of the pall bearers 😱

The bagpipes fading away 😭

MissMarplesNiece · 19/09/2022 12:08

The pipes have been so beautiful. I cried when I listened to the massed pipes as the gun carriage was being pulled to The Abbey.

OhAmBackAgain · 19/09/2022 12:08

the organ playing is awful 😖

Bouledeneige · 19/09/2022 12:08

Probably the last time anyone sings god save the Queen.

OhMerde · 19/09/2022 12:08

Harry very clearly wasn't singing the National Anthem.

spanieleyes · 19/09/2022 12:09

There is now a procession to Westminster Arch, then a drive to Windsor and another service there!

Horrific.

It’s killing the mood.

Anyone alive today yes

JustLyra · 19/09/2022 12:09

Beatrice and Eugenie seem to have left their rows - I wonder if they’ve gone to get their children perhaps?

Or maybe too upset to walk down

Show quote history

What about everyone else? Are they offered food and drink?

They sang god save the king.

TheIsaacs · 19/09/2022 12:09

I wonder where the York princesses have gone

Maireas · 19/09/2022 12:09

Yes, I noticed that.

What a difficult stressful time it must be for those bearers
