The Queens funeral 2

[KenAdams]

For when the first one fills up

Can someone point me to google maps where they joined the long walk, I know they were on a residential road and then turned into the long walk but I cant work out where that was.

Tall Paul looks sad

This funeral march is going to be everyone's earworm for days. Is it Beethoven?

"Welby might as well have pointed his finger at Johnson and Truss during that sermon: “you will be remembered for all the wrong reasons”. Good for him."
I thought so as well. I would hope Liz Truss and Boris Johnston squirmed a little but I doubt they have any kind of self-awareness

The whole regiment was probably torn between wanting the honour and dreading being chosen. They are doing an amazing job though. Good job none of them have arachnophobia

It still looks a very long way to the castle

We were worrying about this, would blu-tack do the job?! Apparently there are brass fittings on top of the coffin that the holder screws into. Rest easy.

Rumour has it, Larry the Downing Street cat took care of the spider....

Who is the very tall man that has been there from the start? He's got to be atleast 7"6. I can't take my eyes off him as they walk down the golden mile.

And there’s an even taller page with the glasses. He must be 7’ tall!

I guess his special job was getting things down from high shelves and cupboards.

Knowing the British army, gaffer tape will have been used.

I'm fascinated by the variety of the shapes and sizes of the bearskin busbys worn by guards alongside the hearse. They are surprisingly ununiform for a uniform!

Here I think

Oh Sky just said it is Chopin....

The tall equerry with the glasses wasn’t he with the Waless and Sussexess on their walkabout last week ?

Snap!

Is it Tall Paul? I know she had a footman type person called that?

Who’s the tall man with the glasses? He was in the London procession too?

I need one of those.

Yes the theme of servant leadership I hope made a few bums squirm

One of the Queen's pages. He was in the 007 sketch for 2012 Olympics - Tall Paul. The other, Barry, was in the Paddington sketch

Oh photo didn’t load

I've been so impressed by all of the soldiers, police officers and other personnel taking part. Incredible scenes today, they should all be so proud.

Tall Paul is the second tallest older baldy guy in the middle.

HN's page 'Tall Paul' Whybrew. Sorry. Just seen pp.
