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.

The Mounties horses are stunning!

Diana's funeral was much more about her. I am sure at the family private funeral they shared memories they would not share in public. But her funeral did talk about her as a person.

Did anyone else see the guard in the procession whose hat had totally slipped over his eyes? Well done to him for carrying on regardless.

Apparently some of the Mounties bourses were brought over others were already here

This is handy to identify all the different uniforms in this procession

Posting again to say there is a second thread for when needed in case anyone missed my post

I think something went round last week saying just officers. WO usually do though

Lakie Lady the first March they played was Beethoven’s funeral March.

I think you can't help but end up perfectly in step

I’ve just seen my friend marching. Fantastic to be part of this event.

One thing I dislike the little respect the “other commonwealth countries” seem to get. The media does realise there are more countries in the commonwealth than Australia, Canada and New Zealand? they seem to be the only countries they the media seem to notice and let’s not act like it’s some strange coincidence.

I won’t speak about this subject anymore today.

I have a grip! It’s people who seem surprised she didn’t exit to “My Way” who need to get a grip!

The aerial shots

It's a state occasion, not the funeral of a celebrity with plenty of insta moments - perfectly done, stunning music, the military contribution is just amazing.

Yes, I agree. Very appropriate.

I picked up on this. To mention Australia Canada and New Zealand and then just say ‘and the others’ was disrespectful.

Can you link?

Is William walking? I can’t see him?

Not the case at all. But if that's what you think is fitting then who am I to argue 😂

Anne wears uniform so she can wear flat comfy shoes!

Diana's funeral did not have the song My Way, it was still personal though.

He is.

The same 10 who walked previously are walking

This music is fantastic.

The whole thing is magnificent.
