The Queens funeral 2

[KenAdams]

For when the first one fills up

That's what we just said. They are constantly looking around

Not Marble Arch - the Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner. Marching up Park Lane to Marble Arch would be quite an underwhelming end to the procession!

I think they must be

The men walking in the procession right behind William , Harry etc are they protection officers ?

Harry has done time and earned the right to be actually proudof his military service.

But you could say that about a lot of ex-military.

Sorry yes. Wellington Arch at Hyde Park

The Queen was respected so much for her years of duty and dignified ways. Sadly Charles is full of piffle and will never get the respect like the Queen did.

Were the middletons there? Or are they babysitting Louis?

Its closed.

He can be proud, just not wear his uniform. It's not a decision against Harry. He would have known the rules when he left.

Probably already mentioned but must be physically and emotionally demanding for the RF. They've been marching for about an hour but still 2 more services to get through.are they also marching at Windsor? And Charles and Camilla had to meet all the heads of state etc yday evening.

Some are , but there is Earl Snowden and Duke of Gloucester

What’s that got to do with it? No one in the armed forces can ever wear their uniforms after they have left- unless they were a really high rank. Harry, as a former member of the armed services, would know this.

Here you go!

Yes, he can wear medals and other insignia. He knows this, he went to Sandhurst.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned but anyone notice that the poor sailor right in front of her coffin looks like he's about to fall asleep? 😬

Oh, take the day off won't you?

Michael and Carole were pictured entering quite early on. We haven't seen Pippa/James/spouses though, so not sure if they made the guest list.

Exactly. Harry did a few years, you could do your entire working career, be injured in duty, and still not allowed to wear it.

Probably already mentioned but must be physically and emotionally demanding for the RF.

All week. I keep thinking of my relatives in their 70s having all of the travel, ceremonies, marches and dress-changes of the last 10 days.

Bubbly Very true re weather!!

They were

It surprised me at first because the announcer said "the parents of the princess of wales", and I immediately thought "aren't Diana's parents dead"? Then realised who they meant! It will take a while to get used to thinking of Kate as princess of wales

Doesn't London look wonderful? I'm so pleased the weather is dry and sunny.

Why can people not understand the rules about uniforms?

Every member of the armed forces knows and understands that once they are no longer serving they will not wear uniform unless they have reached the rank where that is allowed. That doesn’t in any way take away from their service nor their pride!

He looks a bit wobbly I thought..it must be so tiring and rhey haven't eaten for a few hours I shouldn't think
