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

My mum reckons there's a blob of blu tack underneath

God the piping makes me cry

Same. What an utterly extraordinary thing to see. Amazing.

Vapeyvapevape · 19/09/2022 10:47

Did Charles just wipe away a tear 😞

SoupDragon · 19/09/2022 10:47

I don't know how the family are doing this without crying

Dave20 · 19/09/2022 10:47

It feels very final now…

j712adrian · 19/09/2022 10:47

I'll watch the highlights show later.

Vapeyvapevape · 19/09/2022 10:47

I love the sound of the pipes

Northernlurker · 19/09/2022 10:47

The pipes! And seeing the ratings take the strain. Yup. I'm gone.

Boxin · 19/09/2022 10:47

Gosh how emotional and beautiful. I never expected to be so moved.

Dave20 · 19/09/2022 10:47

I wonder if this will inspire young people to join the Forces…

MarshaBradyo · 19/09/2022 10:48

Oh got to me too

very well done and moving

TokyoSushi · 19/09/2022 10:48

Gosh this is even more incredible than I thought it would be. The organisation and the precision of the military is just exceptional.

Gosh how emotional and beautiful. I never expected to be so moved.

Me neither but I'm shedding a few tears

Jellykat · 19/09/2022 10:48

Charles is crying, god bless him

sparklecement · 19/09/2022 10:48

Goodness me. The pipes and drums and the military. I didn’t expect to be quite as moved as I am.

vroom321 · 19/09/2022 10:50

Is this why the royals have multiple children? Imagine if William or Harry had to do this alone? I bet it helps to have someone going through everything you are?

Benefi · 19/09/2022 10:50

Charles is crying, god bless him

That made me well up for the first time.

derxa · 19/09/2022 10:50

The pipes always set me off

God help anyone whose precision isn't exceptional today!
