The Queens funeral 2

[KenAdams]

For when the first one fills up

It is on the turns and any uneven patches like cobbles.

Charles’ birthday is in November.

Yes. The King’s actual birthday is in February and the weather is inclined to be inclement at that time of year. The monarchs official birthday is celebrated at a time when weather is likely to be better.

The Kings Birthday is November 14th not February

This is so absolutely breathtaking. Absolutely wonderful, from all involved

It only appears to be on the corners so I presume it's to stop the carriage sliding.

Huw Edwards was struggling in his commentary before the funeral - he kept slipping a Her Majesty's in instead of His Majesty's. Must be so difficult!

The mountie on the news this morning said they're not their own horses

knew it would happen, my arse of a JRT struck up a barking volley at the start of the two mins silence.

That's got to be so hard to march at that pace for such a long distance.

That drummers arms will ache like buggery tomorrow

Do you mean with the gun carriage? The ones behind are holding onto ropes of some kind to act as brakes as the carriage has none, if thats who you meant

Apologies I was muddled with the late Queens ascension.

This is so moving and powerful.

That drummer is doing well to keep time for so long.

Thank you for this. Not British so was very confused about what all the uniforms mean.

Charlottes hat!! They both look adorable.

Must be very weird being in those fish tanks of cars being stared at by the public

London is spectacular with all this

So much intricate thought has gone into it all too

Thats interesting. They look quite small horses.

Only Sophie and Meghan in car two and only the York Princesses in car three.

So is to help them keep in step with each other / balance the load as with the men carrying the coffin arms around shoulders?

It seems to have some sort of support from underneath, like the crown and the sceptre has brackets

I wonder how the orb is affixed. Would some alteration have been made to the bottom of it?

Random question, why are the sailors holding hands

If it's good enough for H&M 😊

That's got to be so hard to march at that pace for such a long distance.

Yes, such an unnatural gait too.
