The Queens funeral 3

[KenAdams]

Again, thread 2 has filled up fast.

Just thinking of the difference between this and Prince Philip’s service here

Quiet applause for the bearers

Oh those boys (and they aren't much more than boys) have been incredible!

Windsor is much more beautiful and personal.

I Camilla meant to walk behind Charles? She's only just managing it.

I was thinking earlier that I wondered if everyone involved in this will get some kind of commemorative medal they can wear on their uniforms.

The pall bearers have been phenomenal- they have the scariest job of it all 🤣

The sight of that full Chapel when the Queen had to sit alone for Philip.

Seeing the chapel from above just made me think of the Queen sat alone at the Duke's funeral.

Just remembering the last time we saw the Queen in those choir stalls - alone in a mask and mourning her husband.

Those lads did so well. What a lot of pressure on them to get lifting/carrying the coffin right!

The older of the great grandchildren look like they might be there. Peter's girls and Mia Tindal.

Savannah, Isla and Mia are with Zara

👏 👏 👏 well done Bearing Party you did it and were magnificent

The care and dedication of the bearer party gets me every time. What an honour but what a duty.

There's a vault below this chapel where her parents, husband and sister are interred. Where she will be laid to rest.

The flags in the chapel are for each of the knights of the garter and bear their personal arms.

Well done lads 👏

Quietly applauding the bearer party; such a honour but they must have been absolutely beside themselves with tension. Job well done.

Bravo, bearer boys. That's a story to tell your grandchildren some day.

The choir is going to finish me off 😫

I too have been very impressed by the bearer party. Their mums must be so proud !

Me too. Especially when they move the Standard for some reason.

They really are !

Go home and have a beer lads. You deserve it.

What happened this morning with black rod?

I imagine that the days since the Queen died have been extremely taxing for him. He's a 73-year-old man and apart from one day he's been on show, dressed up and taking part in very emotional things very day. I bet he's utterly exhausted. And that long walk with the coffin! My goodness, it went on and on. Everyone who took part, particularly those pulling the carriage, deserve a medal. What an incredible feat they pulled off. So impressive. I hope they all get a bit of downtime now to rest and sleep and recharge.

Do we know who the magnificent pall bearers were?
