The Queens funeral 2

[KenAdams]

For when the first one fills up

And I'm in tears now. That last national anthem just for her. Perfect.

My child's desperate to play with me now

Anne and Tim.

Will it be the same pallbearers in Windsor?

Well, it might be worth remember that Queen Elizabeth II wrote/designed her funeral herself. But re. the Mounties, it was as much about the horses (as I have posted previously) who were gifts (form Canada/RCMP) to the Queen over the years - and being such horse-lover, hardly surprising that they were the stars.
(Names - Elizabeth, George, Sir John and Darby)

They are running behind a bit already. The hearse was suppose to leave at 13.10, arrive at Windsor at 15.06.
Running about 40minutes late.

Yes. Beside Philip.

Yes, alongside her husband, both parents and sister.

Changed over to itv now fed up of the jabbering on bbc

Yes she's being buried in St Georges chapel with Philip her sister and parents. It's a very special place.

Who is in the cars following the hearse?

So Anne and Tim got in the vehicle behind the hearse, the other siblings stayed behind? Wonder why the all didn't depart at the same time

The entire ceremony was so moving and respectful. Very fortunate for it to be televised and for everyone to be able to witness it. I’m aghast that some think it is appropriate to complain about it being televised. Life is short and sometimes you need to take a pause and appreciate history in the making.

There are many more days where people can watch absolute drivel on tv. Such a sheer lack of respect for some on this thread.

I feel the same. People just can't differentiate between different occasions.

What other country would do this? I can see Russia and China having huge events (for whom??) but it'd be all tanks and guns.

Us too, and we've been wondering whether everyone gets the correct bearskin returned to them!

I believe the hearse is taking a longer route to Windsor.

The other cars will take a more direct route

Seriously - when do they get to have a glass of water, cup of tea, biscuit or comfort break? This is a long drawn-out affair and none of them are spring chickens.

Ah, thanks. I did not know that's where they were - I thought they were all in the cathedral. My monarchy knowledge is a bit lacking, it seems!

She is being buried at St George’s Chapel with Prince Phillip later this evening.

Well quite. If you do feel that way go and stream something you like on Netflix and give over. The Queen was like no other. She is absolutely deserving of this.

that was a very long march, what a vision though!

I do wish people wouldn't throw flowers, really bugs me and I'm sure the police officers on the motorbikes. So unneccessary

What is wrong with people hip-hip-hooraying a coffin??
