The Queens funeral 3

[KenAdams]

Again, thread 2 has filled up fast.

They did, you must have missed them!

Possibly, i noticed there were some weird square panels on top of the plinth, now under the coffin

A very sad and momentous occasion, perfectly executed.

Although the State Funeral was magnificent, I’m finding this service and the preceding procession much more affecting. Perhaps because she’s been brought home?

Anyone spotted any foreign royal families?

Was that Peter Phillips' elder daughter I glimpsed?

They did bring out the dogs.

All service people involved in the funeral have been embargoed from Social media and the press until after the funeral. Hopefully they will get their names in lights before they go back to Iraq.

So the coffin will be lowered in the next 15 mins? In front of the whole world?

I've not found out anything either. I think one was 21 and from Fiji but that might have been one of the bearers in Scotland.

Where they are lowered to, can the family lay flowers there or not? Is it sealed?

they did - as they came into the castle, we got a shot of the dogs with footmen (spotted the bottom of the red jacket)

Yes, like Philip's

Thought I saw her sitting behind Princess of Wales at Westminster?

The family can go there.

When the clergy man was holding the paper he was reading from his hands were shaking so much. I'm sure this is very emotional for him and he must have had a close relationship with the Queen being based at Windsor.

Yes, but it’s not into her final resting place. She will be moved again, and there’s a private service for that. Not until 7.30pm, such a long day for the Royals.

Ok, I'm a mess now. That passage from Revelation always ends me...

Depends if they're married or not. They were up here, Norfolk, in Summer for their Summer camp just after the Jubilee. I keep wondering if I stroked the nose of one of the horses who're now on parade!

I wonder when the Queen and Philip are moved to the King George Chapel? Whether it is during the service tonight? I don’t think we need to know all the details but it’s interesting. I wonder if they’ll move Philips coffin up and they’ll lie side by side during the family service?

I had a bit of a break from watching before the committal. This must be such an exhausting and emotionally draining day for her family.

Some will live in married quarters, some in barracks. I expect they have all been living in wellington Barracks for the past 10 days. Although the Queens Conpany are currently deployed in Iraq and returned for this duty.

I heard on the radio, the Corgis are going to live with Andrew, poor things.. sorry to deliver that info at this time.

She was definitely at WM she was at the back of the precession.

How can the children and grandchildren cope with seeing the coffin lowered with the eyes of the world on them? I couldn’t.
