The Queens funeral 2

[KenAdams]

For when the first one fills up

Hope not because I'm waiting by the road in west london

A very well organised service...

Do you think Charles and Anne are sitting in their cars saying well done, we got through that bit.

What's with the three cheers?!

At least some of them can have a break now before the next service. Not princess Anne though, going in the car behind. She won't have had a break all day, nowhere to stop. Well trained bladder I guess. And even George and Charlotte must have pretty well trained bladders by now!!

I hope Anne gets a drink and snack in the car

Why are people cheering it's not a wedding ?!!

Urgh yes, polite clapping is just about acceptable but whooping is very undignified!

👏🏼

What happened to the navy sailor? Was he all right? I missed that

What a magnificent ceremony.

I don't personally mind that it's the whistling and random cheering makes me cringe.

Probably a bit late, but BBC red button also has a no commentary broadcast which has made it far more watchable since I found it mid-morning.

Just wish I could mute the crowd cheering and hollering now - three cheers ffs!

It's the Queen's personal royal cypher apparently.

I wonder what they're doing about lunch? Maybe they have packed lunches for the car?!

Princess Anne has accompanied her mother's coffin the whole time. So it seems right she is immediately behind the hearse.

No one is preventing him being proud of it but people can not wear uniforms they are not entitled to wear. Many people serve in our armed forces. They can not wear their uniforms afterwards unless they have reached a certain rank. It's the same for every veteran.

He looked very wobbly.

Westminster Abbey is where royals used to be buried (IIRC they have run out of room). Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic church in England & Wales, so HM wouldn't be buried there. Not unless you wanted Henry VIII to turn in his grave.

Damn - why didn't anyone say about the red button before???

The anthem at the end got me. And I say that as a definite Republican.

It was the lone bagpiper that got me.

Me too 😢

There must be some security people breathing a heavy sigh of relief now the procession is over. I can’t imagine how much has gone on behind the scenes to make things safe for everyone involved.

Yes Lulu. Correct.

And Harry can take personal pride in his actual service not the uniforms part.

Bunny cat absolutely!!

Imagine!
