Sorry if this is disrespectful (don't mean it to be) but does the lowering of the coffin remind anyone else of the closing titles to Camberwick Green? They used to make me sad as well.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 19/09/2022 16:53

Charles's face. 'Shit, this is real now, isn't it?'

DontTrustThisPoster · 19/09/2022 16:53

Oh he’s selling up 😔

So is that it then? I assumed the family would get private time (where they could freely cry and hug each other is they wanted) and they would be the last to see her before cremation or burial or whatever???

They will she isn’t actually interred until tonight

So they don’t just do guard duty and ceremonial stuff all the time? I assume they are in more typical military gear when they’re serving elsewhere?

They are all full time soldiers/sailors/aviators. Have a google of the grenadier Guards. Or any of them tbh to see what they do the rest of the time.

Mummyoflittledragon · 19/09/2022 16:54

Charles is about to cry. I’m also a complete mess.

SoupDragon · 19/09/2022 16:54

Bitter sweet for Charles.

Wheresmymoneytree · 19/09/2022 16:54

That’s that then.

Maireas · 19/09/2022 16:54

Still a bit of "God Save The Quing"

TugboatAnnie · 19/09/2022 16:54

Well done Charles for keeping it together

MinglingFlamingo · 19/09/2022 16:54

Poor Charles looked really teary when the National Anthem was being played

TockClicking · 19/09/2022 16:54

Charles just did a long blink like he was trying to keep himself from letting a tear go.
I won't lie I'm bawling at this last bit.

PlacidPenelope · 19/09/2022 16:54

Charles looks utterly bereft.

They have their own private service later.

SO224350 · 19/09/2022 16:55

It that wasn't hard enough for them they have a third funeral later 🙁

moonypadfootprongs · 19/09/2022 16:55

Charles looks devastated and very close to tears.

OliveOyl321 · 19/09/2022 16:55

Ah thanks for that @MynameisJune
That’s the way it should be. They’ve shared enough.

Hard to watch without welling up.

That's tonight - and she will stay under the chapel - all the royals are in a vault down there - she and phillip will be put together in the King George VI vault, with her dad, mum and sisters ashes. www.stgeorges-windsor.org/about-st-georges/royal-connection/royal-burials/royal-burials-chapel-location/

Charles 💔❤️

Mmmmdanone · 19/09/2022 16:55

Poor Charles. Tough act to follow.

DontTrustThisPoster · 19/09/2022 16:55

Thank god they can finally have some privacy. The tour Charles and Camilla have undertaken this past two weeks has been gruelling and they must both be so, so very tired. Charles looks utterly exhausted. God save The King.

Knittingmonster · 19/09/2022 16:55

I think Charles is struggling not to cry.

AnotherExpatKiwi · 19/09/2022 16:55

frasersmummy · 19/09/2022 16:52

sorry ... I have been brought up saying debts and debtors so I didnt think about the word trespasses

Oh gosh, don’t be sorry! It was the version I had and drummed into me from an early age.

Has anyone spotted her dresser? She must be in bits.

Is it still Angela Kelly? I haven’t seen her.
