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.

Oh, that's a relief. When I looked again I thought I'd been wrong.

Bemyclementine · 19/09/2022 10:41

It's giving me anxiety thinking of all of the world leaders being in one place.

Why aren't the grandchildren following the coffin down the aisle?

FoolishMortals · 19/09/2022 10:41

I thought Harry was wearing military uniform?

Vapeyvapevape · 19/09/2022 10:42

This bit is sad

Benefi · 19/09/2022 10:42

Where's Meghan and Sophie? Haven't seen them

They were in the car behind the Queen Consort and the Waleses.

The cheering is tricky, she lived a long life so I understand it as in celebration to that and a thank you, but it is a funeral.

Thanks @Benefi

Vapeyvapevape · 19/09/2022 10:43

What a responsibility for the bearers !

Bemyclementine · 19/09/2022 10:43

I bet those men are breathing a sigh of relief.

StartupRepair · 19/09/2022 10:44

Well done lads.

TugboatAnnie · 19/09/2022 10:44

So stressful thinking the regalia is going to fall off 😩

Jellykat · 19/09/2022 10:44

HelloagainLilibet · 19/09/2022 10:44

I thought Princess of Wales and George and Charlotte were walking , or is that after funeral ?

They’re walking behind the coffin from the door of the abbey to their seats.

not in the outdoors procession.

PolkaDotMankini · 19/09/2022 10:45

I love that they've put the tall, beefy sailors right infront of the carriage.

Yes!
The choreography is so perfect.

JustLyra · 19/09/2022 10:45

Very interesting to see Fergie arrive with her daughters and the other grandchildren.

I was thinking the same! Surely it must be fixed onto the coffin?

megletthesecond · 19/09/2022 10:45

The Orb has some kind of fixing on the bottom doesn't it.

They are significantly bigger than the rest!

Bemyclementine · 19/09/2022 10:45

I wondered about the orb.

theDudesmummy · 19/09/2022 10:46

I think Sky is doing a good job.
