@MrsDanversGlidesAgain @LordEmsworth it’ll be really interesting to see who he approves — Holland & Barrett and Sarah Raven? 😁

More clapping

MrsTimRiggins · 19/09/2022 13:39

The cheering and clapping is awful.

Charles saluting the coffin 😭😭

Is Huw Edwards going to narrate all the way to Windsor?

"and they're passing the Hammersmith Novotel..."

Sunbird24 · 19/09/2022 13:40

Some thrown roses there

moonypadfootprongs · 19/09/2022 13:40

Can't spot Zara, Mike, Louise and James now? The rest of the Royals were there?

CustardySergeant · 19/09/2022 13:40

People in the crowd have started screaming now, as though they're at a concert! I hate that.

JustLyra · 19/09/2022 13:40

Polite clapping I can understand. Cheering is just weird.

cakeorwine · 19/09/2022 13:40

The anthem at the end got me.

And I say that as a definite Republican.

Oh that got me - that anthem was for her, not him. That was sweet.

I was singing along with it, for the queen, one last time.

TockClicking · 19/09/2022 13:40

Also how beautiful were those black horses?

I didn't see the tired navy person.

Nor did I - poor person, what a time to be taken I’ll

Borris · 19/09/2022 13:41

I think they've chosen a hearse that won't collect flowers unlike Diana's

Looks like they’ve gone straight to Windsor.

I’d there something wrong with my telly? It’s the same pictures and programme on 1, 2, 3…..

ok I get this funeral is important to some but to flood the TV channels with the same thing denying choice is a bit naff.

@treedragon Is anything in particular stopping you from, say, reading a book? Or if you prefer television, from watching any of the many streaming services that exist?

Blasé sneering is so boring.

CousinKrispy · 19/09/2022 13:41

I'm glad Huw held off on the prattling for a while. The silence while it was transferred to the hearse was very moving.

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 19/09/2022 13:41

Look at that crowd, people everywhere.

littlbrowndog · 19/09/2022 13:41

ITV has no commentary

BirdyWoof · 19/09/2022 13:41

@treedragon Mirroring a previous post, you mustn’t have looked very hard. You can survive for a few hours without bloody Tipping Point on tv, I’m sure.

Hotandbothereds · 19/09/2022 13:41

spanieleyes · 19/09/2022 13:34

You'd hope the gun carriage crew could have a chat and a slow amble back to barracks but I imagine they will have to March all the way back too!

You’d hope they can go and have a pint and chill out, they deserve it, they all do.

Jellykat · 19/09/2022 13:41

The clapping is bloody ridiculous, really gets my goat, fgs its not a wedding

Bouledeneige · 19/09/2022 13:41

Do you think they will step on the gas a bit to Windsor? It will be a slow journey otherwise

AnybodyAnywhere · 19/09/2022 13:41

ITV’s coverage has been excellent. Bare minimum of commentary.

JustlookingNotbuying · 19/09/2022 13:41

What is with the shouting and whooping? Totally disrespectful imo.
