The Queens funeral 2

[KenAdams]

For when the first one fills up

Earl Spencer and Jackie Stewart are at Windsor

Anyone watching the red button?

What do you think is in those two blue cool boxes being carefully escorted through the grounds? A few sausage rolls and fruit shoots for the kids?

And that plastic tool box?

There's a no fly zone imposed, so any flight entering the no fly zone will get intercepted.

I too thought it was beautifully done and was very moving, but it doesn’t make me feel proud to be British.

I think it is cross typed blood in case of an emergency.

Don't worry, I doubt you're in any danger!

I wonder will it same same hearers at Windsor?

What’s with two lots of people in the crowd shouting ‘hip hip hooray’ repeatedly as the hearse passed them? I’ve been to quite a few funerals and never had anyone shout this as the coffin passes them down the aisle. If you did this at someone’s funeral you might find someone decking you one..so inappropriate and crass.

If you can’t think of anything to say then say nothing.

Be shot down before that happened

I also wondered what was in the blue cool boxes! Perhaps taking snacks to some people on duty.

I really hope there is some lunch in the car for Anne and Tim, since they're missing the buffet at the castle. Finger snacks they can discreetly pop in their mouths as they go along. Nothing that might drip on their clothes!

They may have had a thermos of tea or coffee tucked away in the limos so they could grab a cuppa while on that flyover section of road, but they haven't had a chance for a wee since before they set off this morning.

No way could I go that long without a pee. Maybe they've all had themselves catheterised for the day?

It's cross typed blood in case of an emergency- although I'd rather it was marmalade butties.

I don't have very strong views on the RF either way, but I'm glad I watched today.

I don't think there are enough words to do justice to the organisation and precision that has gone into everything. Just spectacular.

And Anne and Charles have been beyond amazing. Dedication personified.

I really hope everyone involved, from top to bottom, gets the rest and peace they need.

Yep…

Been a few above normal restrictions on flights into the lower level airspace over and around central London for a few days now and the restrictions are even tighter today ….

It’s only three hours! Plus a bit to get to Windsor. I’m a middle-aged woman and that wouldn’t cross my mind as a concern. Perhaps they’re wearing Tena pants if need be.

I regularly go for hours without a need to pee due to my work, and that I work in the community without regular access to a toilet.

I normally have a we at 7am and then I don't wee again till about 5:30pm. However I also don't drink or take on any fluids during this time. So I'm just basically mildly dehydrated for 8-9 hours a day 😂

I've always thought I'd like a Dynasty-style funeral. Guests in huge hats, veils, mini-skirts, unsuitable low cut tops, designer sunglasses. Showdowns, gatecrashers, catfights. At least two people falling into an empty grave.

Quite understand however that this would not have been right for HM.

This has been so lovely. I’m in Edinburgh and I’m so glad we had our time with her. But London! Wow. You know how to do this. Now it’s lovely to see all the people lining the streets.

I wondered that too, what if the younger children needed a wee, what would they do? It's been a long day so far.

Are the people still in the abbey?
I'm watching on red button

I thought it was a lovely service. I'm very much into the musical aspect of if and OH is ex foces so we both enjoyed it very much.
Well done to all concerned.

Earl Spencer, where?

I've often wondered how close that side are to William and Harry.

@ purpleme12
I think that we are seeing inside the chapel at Windsor where they are awaiting the hearse.

I know that Princess Anne is in the first car with her behind the hearse but where's the rest of the Royal Family?

The royal family aren't travelling with the hearse now, they will be at Windsor later for the service.
