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.

Swan

It’s a state funeral! Honestly I despair!

You're not allowed to be underwhelmed apparently

The choir was singing throughout and organ music is usual for a religious service. Why would they have violins and harps? That would have been weird.

Diana's wasn't a state funeral ( I'm sure I'm right there ?)
It was much more personal.
They drove her up to Althrop afterwards for a private funeral.
The Mounties are amazing.

Did anyone spot Angela Kelly?

I despair! Get a grip

I didn’t say she didn’t. I said Eugenie wasn’t sat next to him.

which she wasn’t. Harry, Meghan, Beatrice, her husband, James and Louise. Then an aisle and Eugenie.

So Eugenie didn’t have to move.

Glad theres no clapping, so far..

What a spectacle, this music is outstanding.

The Crown Jewels arent going to be buried with her right?

Oh the Mounties are magnificent!

Treason. Off to the Tower for you.

I think it was a fittingly 'bland' funeral for somebody whose trademark was not having opinions. I'm sure the family's private service will be more personal.

Do you think the Mounties brought horses over or borrowed them?

I’m a sucker for a Mountie 🥰

It was done properly, according to protocol and tradition. Exactly what ER was all about.

Yes, she was there.

Yep, I totally went at that point 😭

I have friends out there involved in this - such a proud and sad day for them….

Loving the Mounties...
Reminds me of Due South.....

Love that the RF are walking in step with the sailors

Apollo...I was specifically talking about the end!!

Light instruments, heavenly instruments.
Who cares if some folks think it's weird if it's better!

I thought it was very beautifully done

I’m not sure what people are missing - more personalised emotion?

I don’t really want that. I didn’t know her personally but she was a monarch and a grand public state funeral seems fitting.

I suppose you can’t please everyone

There’s a man with a broken arm somewhere whose job was to collect them.

And a few gins!
