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.

It is a moment when we think of all the sadness we have had in our own lives. The poignancy of this brings it to the surface I think.

People in the abbey dont see this do they?

Vapeyvapevape · 19/09/2022 10:50

The pride on those young ratings faces

I didn't see Meghan or Sophie arrive?

Bemyclementine · 19/09/2022 10:51

The sailors with guns all along the route. Of course there would be but so unusual fir it to be so visible.

Who is it behind Harry in military uniform (older man)?

vroom321 · 19/09/2022 10:51

I would have thought the sailors would have shaved. My DH is a Sergeant in the RM. No facial hair allowed.

spanieleyes · 19/09/2022 10:52

It will be one of the Gloucesters.

Carrie Johnson looks fantastic

Liz Truss always makes me think shes going to burst out laughing. It might be a nervous thing but I always feel like she looks really awkward.

I'd feel awkward too if I'd just started a new job and had had all this land on me in less than two weeks!

Yes, the Duke of Gloucester. Can't see Tim, is he on the left ?

Show quote history

I’m nervous for Liz

Boris probably would have relished the crowd but I hope she can do ok

DrAddisonForbesMontgomery · 19/09/2022 10:54

Thats true @JuJudgeJ

Im so emotional watching the procession, its very impressive. The pipes always make me cry!

Sunbird24 · 19/09/2022 10:54

Oops, Navy chap about turned a bit late there

Jellykat · 19/09/2022 10:54

Nice to hear a ladys voice shouting instructions for once!

RaRaRaspoutine · 19/09/2022 10:55

Can’t believe they made Charlotte wear the stupid hat.

What is the quiet organ. Background music as they prepare to take coffin off gun carriage and have removed their hats?

MajesticWhine · 19/09/2022 10:55

That was incredibly moving

Maybe coming from inside?

Northernlurker · 19/09/2022 10:56

A bit of crown did fall off one funeral. Maybe George V. Can't remember. So it will all have been overhauled by the jewellers and it's fixed to the coffin

Ndd135632 · 19/09/2022 10:56

Ok have lost it already. Goodness only knows when they take her crown away
