The Queens funeral 3

[KenAdams]

Again, thread 2 has filled up fast.

Absolutely!

Harry and Megan are sat with William and family this time.

Yeah I think possibly Zara's children are sat next to her.

Camilla looks tired and overwhelmed now. This is a very long day.

Yes, it’s more moving. Maybe because she is now coming home to be with her beloved Philip and her family. They weren’t perfect but the world has lost the last of a great monarch. We won’t see her like again.

Paddington Bear, James Bond. She clearly didn’t have an issue surprising us.

The bearer party were magnificent. I have been thinking of them often. An honour and a duty. This for me is the saddest part

The bearers were marvellous, so composed. They did her proud.

The bearers have been utterly magnificent; I am in awe.

We will never see the likes of this again will we.

I know KC3 is an older man now and lifespan is a limited thing but he isn’t The Queen is he. I don’t think that makes the point I’m aiming for!

Black Rod was last to see HMQ lying in state and was visibly upset. Is that what you mean?

The brass plaques on the walls behind the choir stalls are for past knights of the garter.

@MrsFezziwig a friend and I went to Windsor last summer, when it was open but obvs a lot of people weren't out and about much. She works in the royal household, so gets us in free. 😁It's very imposing, and that day was even more so without the usual crowds.

@urgen I think I needed a proper cry actually, being typically British holding it in all day. Dogs are just incredible companions and I don't believe anyone who suggests they don't have feelings.

It looks very bright here but the Quire where coffin is actually quite dark usually without all the additional lighting

Imagine the difference to today had she passed during lock down which was a real high possibility. I'm so glad she's had a proper send off.

The singing is beautiful

Who is that chap and what was he doing?

I think disaster was narrowly averted at Churchill's funeral going up the steps.

This morning was sad but this is so much more emotional.

Another poster mentioned black rod had set her off, I see it meant this

Was that on purpose that black rod was the last person?

unscrewing the orb and sceptre etc

When they first went into where the coffin now sits, I pictured her during Prince Philips funeral all alone.

Chris Ship from ITV reported yesterday that Camilla has done this whole week with a broken toe.

It must be very difficult for William thinking that the next time he does this, it will be because his father has died.

Oh god. Crown's off!

Loosening the crown etc we think
